MMC Due Diligence & Class A1 Building Systems
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) deliver zero-carbon living only when engineering integrity, structural fire performance, and warranty clearances are mathematically proven before ground is broken.
Market Catalyst curates the commercial and technical data repository for Dragonboard magnesium oxide (MgO) composite Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)—providing architects, institutional funders, local authorities, and principal contractors with complete, unredacted test reports from Lucideon and UK accredited laboratories.
