How To Lay Concrete Blocks More Efficiently To Make More Money In 2022 | BrickLayer

[@samyueru612]

Can you show us how you fill that massive gap between the cons and the thermos at the butments and then how you get the cavity socks all the way down below dpc

[@brickpug6088]

It's right near a reveal so he'll easily be able to get that sock down below dpc. I like to build them in personally but you can slide them in easy enough. The straight joint can easily be filled, again I fill as I'm building but I have had to fill these before, put a slither of insulation in and pack it to the back of the joint and then fill it with trowel and jointer or quickest way a mortar gun. There isn't no right or wrong way to build, we all get to the same point just differently.

Appreciate this new building conception!👍

[@scottnever8732]

great work ethic mate. will say fire stop needs to be tight fit so would recommend butting up to it not fitting afterwards

[@MikeSmith-gf4lv]

All DPC's should be bedded in accordance with the NBS, current codes of practice, NHBC standards and the manufactures site guidelines, not withstanding the excessive vertical joint between the concrete and lightweight blockwork, has the NHBC inspector picked these and other items up?

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

No other items. The thermolites will be removed and relayed anyway, I should of really mentioned that in the video. Thanks for the advice with the mortar under the DPC though bud, As you can see in today’s video I’ve bedded the damp on ✌🏽🤙🏾

[@leephillips3924]

I spent a few years in site as an apprentice not once was I told to bed the dpc, I know it's recommended, I always used to say you could literally pick up the house off it's foundations

[@mattybro88]

Worked on site for years, never once seen anyone bed the dpc. Only seen that on KZbin. I know it's required but it doesn't happen.

[@MikeSmith-gf4lv]

@@mattybro88 Hi there, thanks for your reply, the manufacturer's of DPC material will not guarantee their products unless installed in accordance with the standards, the question is who will be responsible and pay for the failures? I am totally bewildered that on housing developments why the NHBC Inspectors or others carrying out that role don't pick this element up and record it has a defect?

[@mattybro88]

@@MikeSmith-gf4lv No one will ever know. NHBC check at floor height and that's it. No more checks on the structure. Pre plaster (inside) and then one final check of the external (weep vents etc).

They are always loose after they need to be in before to be compressed into the bed

Wall ties need to be 900mm apart.. Nhbc on Jack walls?

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

I’m sure NHBC standard is maximum of 900mm apart? I could be wrong?

[@lewis7226]

@@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION no he's right 900mm apart it's to do with sound travel or some bollocks had nhbc pull me on it before because I'd put them in every 700mm or so

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Does everyone just push ties in these days?

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

99.99% of the time they are built in mate. The odd one might get pushed in, we’re all human ✌🏽

Thanks Marty but we do

[@benwilliams1172]

when you rolled out dpc , dont you put a skim of compo under it . only because N H B C always asks me. explanation was that wall is not bonded to floor.

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

I’ll have to check up on that, I see where your coming from but that’s never been mentioned before. Definitely makes sense though

[@scottnever8732]

do wonder about that, dpc dont stick to mortar hence when putting damp trays in they should be cut half way through the inner block and not left to over hang ie allowing the next course or blocks to bond to the lower. So which is it?

[@benwilliams1172]

@@scottnever8732 i still put a skim under dpc, but i also staple dpc to thermalite block. dam thing dont ever move then.

[@justbreakingballs]

@@scottnever8732 it does stick especially under constant compression

[@scottnever8732]

@@justbreakingballs sorry Jimbo if you take a length of dpc that's been in a wall and shake it the mortar falls off ie not stuck

Wasting materials just out of college lol why the bricks on the other side haha

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

That’s to hold the bottom course plumb dude. Sometimes when they concrete the floors they spill over the blocks in the foundation making it impossible to keep your block plumb
