it is "agglomérés creux de 20 ", which are then "hourdés"
"20" is then the size of the "agglomérés" (whatever you are calling those) - aggegrates - I suppose

20 hourd�s
caution
"hourder" can mean two things:
- plastering/rendering a floor, wall, etc. (i.e. your roughcast, though it need not by any means be rough);
- bonding the masonry units together.
IOW, they may simply be saying that the wall is built with blocks and cement mortar rather than with some fancy proprietary adhesive.
Hopefully the rest of the text will make it clear what is meant.
