Proposed modular component manufacturing rules

Posted: 9 June 2022

MBIE is consulting on the introduction of the Modular Component Manufacturers (MCM) Scheme to ensure the scheme is clear, fit for purpose and able to be implemented effectively.

The consultation opens on 9 June 2022. Submissions must be made online or by email by 5pm, 7 July 2022.

MBIE is consulting on proposed scheme rules for the Modular Component Manufacturer (MCM) Scheme to ensure the scheme is clear, fit for purpose and able to be implemented effectively. The introduction of these rules is part of the wider Building System Reforms which focuses on building products, building methods, and putting in place systems and processes to speed up consenting for new and innovative ways of building.

The new scheme is intended to provide a streamlined consenting pathway tailored to this particular type of construction. It will also remove barriers in the consenting process that favour traditional methods and improve confidence in the quality of modular construction so it is a viable choice for many.

Have your say on the proposed MCM scheme:

The new scheme will:

  • provide a streamlined consenting pathway tailored to this type of construction
  • enable faster consenting
  • provide assurances that scheme participants deliver quality and durable products
  • remove barriers in the consenting process that favour traditional methods
  • improve confidence in the quality of modular construction so that it is a viable choice for many

More information on these changes including the consultation document, proposed scheme rules, and information on the ways you can submit feedback can be found on the MBIE website.
