MMCD - Master Municipal Construction Documents
The MMCD Association is a Non-Profit Society, funded by BC municipalities and other users to bring well defined, systematic and continuously improving construction documents for construction of roads, sidewalks, sewers, water, traffic signals and street lighting. The Master Municipal Construction Document, (MMCD) is supported by user manuals, a quality management process, and an expanding number of training courses. The MMCD is specifically designed for municipalities, consultants and contractors and others, who specialize in municipal infrastructure. The Province of British Columbia endorses the Master Municipal Construction Document for the construction of municipal services.

MMCD AutoCAD Civil 3D Standard
MMCD has engaged a consultant, APW Engineering Inc., to create a MMCD AutoCAD Civil 3D Standard for local governments wishing to adopt a consistent and economical approach towards the design, construction and data archiving tasks for infrastructure and private land development projects.
AutoCAD Civil 3D is a powerful design application used by many BC municipalities and consulting engineering firms for infrastructure and land development projects. It is also an application that requires considerable effort for standardization and configuration. The MMCD goal is to produce and support a consistent, convenient and appropriate CAD standard for adoption by BC municipalities.
Naturally, the development and roll-out of a new standard must be based on broad user consultation, and joint effort, leading to continuous improvement and economical implementation. The deliverables of the new MMCD project will include i) internal drawing structure ii) external presentation of engineering and construction details and iii) post construction GIS submissions. We could use your help and advice!

MMCD Documents
Using the MMCD means that the collective effort of developing and maintaining a standard document is significantly less than that needed for creating and maintaining unique contract documents. The standardized and straightforward contract language used in front-end documents minimize confusion, and the dispute resolution process dramatically improves owner-contractor relationships. Using MMCD can control the legal costs associated with conflicts in construction contracts.
