Non-OSM MMC
Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms, published by Buildoffsite in 2018, states in relation to Non-OSM MMC (non off-site manufacturing modern methods of construction): ‘This category is intended to encompass schemes using innovative home building techniques and structural systems that fall outside the OSM categories. The presence of innovation is an important feature that might be apparent through an innovative non-OSM building system, through a building technique familiar in other sectors but new to house building, or in traditional components being combined in innovative ways. Typically, insulated concrete formwork (ICF), thin joint blocks and other innovative masonry or concrete approaches would fall within this category.’
