My architect has specified the below.
The walls will be rendered so blockwork to both skins above DPC. Is there any benefit to either brick or block below DPC? Blocks are cheaper to purchase and i guess quicker to lay so why do people use bricks - What am i missing?
Also there is no mention of insulation below DPC. Should a celotex type insulation be used to fill the cavity between the lean mix and rockwool above DPC.
