Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected world economies, the construction industry and everyone. Problems such as housing supply in the UK might also have been affected as a result. Aims: This study explores the uncertainties in the housing industry in the UK, the uncertainties created on MMC products and the impact these have created in the supply of housing under the pandemic. Method(s): Secondary research data was collected through literature review and their findings complied. Inductive reasoning was utilised to create new knowledge. Results: The pandemic has affected the construction industry and resulted in reducing housing supply. Although advantages of MMC are widely recognised, the adoption rate is low.
