LABC Registered Constructions
Registered Construction Details are developed by LABC in conjunction with industry partners, the Modern Masonry Alliance and the Concrete Block Association, offer the ability to design out thermal bridging, assist the assessor in thermal modelling, guide the builder on site and ensure an effective inspection regime to prevent poor performing buildings and enshrine faith in Energy Performance Certificates.
