    Episode 24: The Rise of Modern Methods of Construction

    In this episode, we explore the role of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in shaping a more efficient, sustainable and innovative future for the built environment. Our guest, Pete Morrison, brings decades of experience in offsite construction and prefabricated timber systems to the table and provides practical insights into why the industry must evolve. We unpack what MMC really means, the different types in practice today, and why end users, not just developers, should care about them. Pete explains how prefabricated timber solutions are redefining the way we think about construction, both globally and here in Australia. He shares examples from overseas markets, discusses the advantages (and some of the misconceptions), and highlights the systemic changes required to bring these solutions into the mainstream locally. We also talk policy, what governments need to understand to support MMC adoption, and how project delivery models in Australia must adapt if we are to embrace smarter, greener ways of building. Pete Morrison is Executive Director and CEO at GTT, a leading manufacturer of prefabricated timber-based “kit of parts” systems. A passionate advocate for Modern Methods of Construction, Pete’s career has been dedicated to driving practical, scalable change across the building sector. With deep expertise in offsite construction, he is a strong voice for innovation that reduces waste, increases productivity and brings high-quality outcomes to life faster and more sustainably.
