Garden annex build up to damp proof course part 16

Love your videos and love the fact that you're keeping the language to the levels of your garden room series 😅

Highlight of my day when I see you’ve dropped a new video. You’re smashing it pal.

Can't wait to see this project complete. It's going to look amazing when it's finished ✅️

really enjoying the videos, don't stop!

I liked the format, with flashbacks to earlier stages of the build. Stay well and good luck.

Excellent progress! Well done!

Thank you! Cheers!

Have missed these Liam! Thanks for the update 👍

[@thegardenroomguru]

thanks for the continued input mate

[@darrenthebuilder]

BC was right, the upstand will deal with your thermal bridging. We dont below dpc with insulation. Yes put the ties in to catch insulation. Put the about every 450mm, you should catch them all including where you have joins. Congrats for getting through the toughest phase of the build

[@thegardenroomguru]

cheers fella, its been tough alright

The thinking with no ties on the damp course is the might penetrate the damp under load , in reality every one does

no ties on the dpc as it may damage the dpc! Standard design spec

Good to see you back mate hope you’re feeling better now looking forward to rest of build best thing on you tube by far you no you’re stuff take it easy

[@zlock97]

We always put 65/70mm screed always leave it 5mm lower to allow for self levelling and yes u put brick ties on dpc to hold insulation!

[@thegardenroomguru]

wonder why she put not too on the drawings?

Liam don’t look at this as a cost look at it as an investment on the value of your house,keep up the great work

[@ystehen18]

Did you put rebar in the foundation

[@thegardenroomguru]

no mate, general opinion on here was it wasn't needed, it wasn't on the drawings and building inspector said no need too

[@DAVID-bv2gv]

Liam, You keep making these videos and I’ll keep watching them,love this project I like what you do and I like what you say,, 💪🏻🇬🇧👍🏻

[@exit_perry]

Loving the videos - I'd be curious to know what your expenses would be if you weren't doing all the work yourself, like how many days you've put in times a daily wage (and how much you've saved as a result). I'm sure you'd be close to double your expenses by now

[@daviddwyer6397]

To my knowledge Generally the 60-70mm screed is for the wet under flood heating pal.

[@atheistyler]

in the faffel now 👍

[@richardyork6152]

Hiya mate, what's happened to the videos? Hope everything is ok. Can I ask you a question about my upcoming garden room? It's going to be 7m x 3m and 2.5m high and not over 50% of overall land. Is there anything regarding how close to the boundary I need to worry about? It's going to be under 1m on both sides. Thanks

[@darrenthebuilder]

The main issue will be fire proofing. Less than 1m from the boundary and the building should be majority non combustible materials. You can clad the sides with metal or paint (if cladding in timber) with fire proof paint/varnish. Hope that helps

[@richardyork6152]

@@darrenthebuilder Thanks that's a great help can you recommend the paint you referenced?

[@thegardenroomguru]

Every inspector has a different opinion and understanding of the rules mate, unfortunately they do not all sing from the same sheet, metal cladding is often enough, a layer of fire resistance plaster board keeps some happy, the problem lies when you inform them, unfortunately it can open a can of worms, only ever had the council out twice and both times they were only bothered about height

[@richardyork6152]

​@@thegardenroomguru Thanks for the reply mate big help gonna do the metal cladding,pink board and rock wool insulation. Can't do much more than that. 👍

[@JD-mx2gv]

Ties on the DPC are generally avoided because you want a good bond to the block above and below, which can't happen on the DPC course. A lot of tie manufacturers say not to use their products on DPC. Membrane on top of insulation is a slip layer, and to stop liquid seeping down and moving the boards during the pour. Screed is usually specified to contain UFH and to provide a smooth and level base for flooring as concrete often ends up uneven. If the layers below are laid well and level, and there's no underfloor heating, then screed isn't really needed and SLC will do.

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

Put tie wires at dpc level buddy, like you say it will hold your insulation, they do say of its a new house you should run insulation down but to me this doesn't sit right with me, especially with potential of damp from the ground.

Yeah, it's very strange, I started bricklaying in 1971 (retired now 🙂), and we always started the wall ties on the damp course 👍

Good to see you back Liam , I’ve been checking everyday for your video 💪 Really enjoying the channel , What are you going to do once this has been built mate ?

[@thegardenroomguru]

Im currently in the process of trying to secure a unit so I can produce garden room kits for the self build community, see how that goes I guess

[@matthewwalker6384]

after doing garden rooms for a long time why didnt you ask the architect to plans for timber frame build with external brick skin. you could have thrown timber frame up. roof on and done brickwork as and when the weather now allows. if its bad weather you would be water tight to work indoors.

[@thegardenroomguru]

including mate, Ive not included the architect cost or the building control in that figure though

[@paulnicoluk]

Liam, it seems like the issue you have is that you are working to architect specs and not an engineers specifications architect, always over specify. Most building inspectors aren’t structural engineers they usually know the regs backwards. The previous video regarding the roots to the tree I thought well a joke and substantially increased your foundation costs. Don’t know if I agree with concrete coding the foil otherwise concrete would corrode reinforcement. You need to the presence of oxygen for corrosion to a car. Anyway, good to see your back, Liam The rest of the stuff will be easy And if there is any haters I am a qualified structural engineer

You need a Civil Engineer to answer all the design detail questions as building control guys are not highly qualified. Architects, despite having a degree are often quite poor at understanding material testings and the theory behind design decisions.
