Modern Masonry Construction
Established in the 1980s the THB is a lobbying body for themodern masonry construction industry communicating all theperformance advantages of brick and block construction to theconsumer and housing industry.
Traditional housing construction accounts for approximately 85% of the current UK new build housing market. The THB's membership comprises 95% of all modern concrete masonry producers and as such represents an important sector of the construction industry.
The THB's present activities are centred on informing andeducating the debate on off-site construction methods, believingthat modern masonry construction with its long lifespan,adaptability and cost efficiency - of up to 10% alternative methods- makes for a far more sustainable and long lasting future for ourcommunities than lightweight prefabricated methods.
Promoting the public's -Right to Know- the construction methodof their home is an ongoing campaign for the THB and one which itfeels is vital as the trend for property investment as a long terminvestment in place of pensions grows.
The THB believes that sustainable communities can only becreated by building solid, durable homes that can be adapted tosuit contemporary living requirements - something that brick andblock housing has already been doing for far longer than 60 years -enabling them to last for generations.
Others are starting to question the push towards untried methodsof construction as the solution for the housing crisis:
