MMC Configuration Enablement
We help MMC/DfMA teams turn kit-of-parts intent into configurable systems inside their existing tools, standards, approvals, and compliance pathways.
Delivered so your team can scale repeatable prefab systems without reinventing every project, and without leaving compliance and approvals to the end.
-
Build a governed kit-of-parts.
We structure your product data across components, attributes, naming, versioning, and approved variants—so teams work from one controlled, scalable source of truth. We codify the parametric rules that sit on top of that structure, so everyone knows what can change, what can't, and why.
-
Support new product adoption with clear compliance pathways.
We assess how new products align to NCC and relevant standards, identify evidence and approval requirements, and explore what alternative pathways may be available where standard deemed-to-satisfy solutions don't neatly apply.
-
Prevent invalid options by design.
We scope and design constraints-first configurators that surface feasibility in real time—so teams avoid dead ends, coordination issues, and rework.
-
Make buildability and compliance explicit.
We connect your catalogue, configurator, and compliance rules to the downstream tools your teams actually use—quoting platforms, BIM environments, manufacturing schedules, and approval gates—so configuration decisions translate directly into buildable, approval-ready outputs without manual re-entry or coordination gaps.
What This Means For You
-

Developers
Standardise with approved, NCC-aligned options, decide faster with clear rules, and scale repeatable delivery with one governance playbook—reducing certification risk at every stage.
-
![Eight construction workers with safety helmets and vests standing on a concrete building floor, talking about modern methods of construction.]()
Contractors/Builders
Flag compliance issues and buildability problems before they reach site, quote from approved options, and deliver repeatable prefab systems—reducing rework and protecting programme certainty.
-

Tech/Platform Teams
Create software aligned to real standards, build scalable platforms with controlled variation, and ship software faster with proven value.

Product Manufacturers
Embed NCC-aligned variants into your product catalogue—so your products arrive on projects already compliant, reduce the back-and-forth with certifiers, and become easier to specify and harder to reject.
Engagement Options
Option 1: On-Demand Specialist
Targeted support for a specific problem when you need expert capacity fast.
Option 2: Embedded Specialist
Part-time lead embedded inside your team to shape approach and drive decisions.
Option 3: Project Workstreams
A scoped engagement with defined milestones and a clear handover. Four sprints from discovery through to embed. Delivered standalone or as part of a broader programme.
Start with Sprint 1 and decide as you go. Each sprint stands alone: you only commit to the next step when you are ready.
-
4-6 weeks
Sprint 1 is a standalone fixed-fee engagement.
An independent review maps your current configuration state, surfaces the gaps that are difficult to see when you are embedded in day-to-day delivery, and gives you a prioritised roadmap to act on.
Then decide whether to continue.
-
4-6 weeks
Commit to one Implementation Cycle at a time.
Each cycle takes your top configuration priorities and designs them to a level of detail your team can act on, with rules, defined schemas, and workflows documented and ready for implementation.
-
4-6 weeks
Commit to one Implementation Cycle at a time.
Each cycle works alongside your team on a live pilot, catches and resolves configuration issues before they become embedded, and builds training and handover materials before moving to the next priority.
-
Ongoing monthly or quarterly cycles
The work does not stop at handover.
Each cycle checks how your configurations are holding up on live projects, tightens rules and standards based on real evidence, and builds the internal capability to keep improving without ongoing support.
Design and Framework (4-6 weeks)
Commit to one Implementation Cycle at a time.
Each cycle takes your top configuration priorities and designs them to a level of detail your team can act on, with rules, defined schemas, and workflows documented and ready for implementation.
Enablement and Support (4-6 weeks)

Embed and Sustain (Ongoing monthly or quarterly cycles)

Discovery and Gap Assessment (4-6 weeks)

Frequently Asked Questions
-
MMC Configuration Enablement is the process of turning your prefab kit-of-parts into a digital system with catalogues, rules, NCC compliance checks, and configurators that prevent invalid design options by design.
It helps construction teams standardise modular building systems so you can scale repeatable, code-compliant delivery without reinventing every project from scratch.
-
Configuration uses constraint-based rules built into your tools to automatically flag incompatible choices in real time, before they get to manufacturing or site.
This means teams can only select options that are buildable, NCC-aligned, and within your approved variants, eliminating costly rework from invalid combinations.
-
Developers make faster decisions with pre-approved choices, contractors reduce rework through approved, buildable options, manufacturers receive BOM-ready outputs with correct specifications, and tech teams build scalable platforms aligned to real-world standards.
Everyone works from a single source of truth instead of managing version-controlled spreadsheets and email chains.
-
We map NCC performance requirements to your product rules and approved variants, so compliance is assessed at the point of configuration rather than after.
This means teams are working from a compliant baseline from the start—reducing surprises at certification and making approval requirements visible earlier in the process.
-
A catalogue is your structured library of available components, attributes, and approved variants—essentially your digital kit of parts. A configurator applies rules and constraints to that catalogue so users can only combine options that work together, automatically checking manufacturability, sequencing, NCC alignment, and cost as they design.
-
We start by understanding how your team works today—what tools you use, where handoffs break down, and what causes rework.
We then design the configuration logic and integration architecture for your existing platforms (Revit, other BIM tools, or custom systems) rather than adding standalone systems—so configuration becomes part of your natural workflow, eliminating duplicate data entry and the friction that makes new initiatives fail.
