The term 'modern methods of construction' covers a broad range of construction types, from complete housing systems built in factories through to new site-based technologies.

This guide gives surveyors an insight into how to differentiate between houses built using modern methods of construction and those built using more 'traditional' site-based methods. It provides:
  • An overview of the principal forms of housing constructed by modern methods to demonstrate the fundamental differences between these methods of construction and those expected to be used on a block and brick cavity based building.
  • Specific examples of the visual clues that can help the surveyor to recognise what form of construction has been used. A checklist to use on site.
