Document readiness
Drawings, specifications, material certificates, translations.
MMC Gateway
Australia market-entry intelligence for industrialised construction.
A future commercial qualification layer. Language is readiness, evidence complete, independently reviewed, eligible for further assessment — never ‘approved’.
MMC Sentinel is not a statutory certifier. Gateway is evidence, provenance and qualification infrastructure around certification.
Audience
- Chinese manufacturers
- Japanese manufacturers
- Other Asian manufacturers
- Australian builders
- Developers
- Certifiers and building surveyors
- Testing laboratories
