building the corners of a brick wall- how to insert DPC

[brumylad]

I want to build the corners of the wall first. But what about the DPC.

is it ok to do this by using 2 lengths of DPC and join them in the middle with an overlap. I don't think I can lay bricks fast enough to build each corner up to cover the whole length of the DPC in on go.

Any help please

You normally build all the brickwork to DPC level. Lay lengths of DPC along each wall (causing an overlap at each corner), then start building the corners up again, on top of the dpc.

BTW. Put a bed of mortar under the DPC. (very tight, just enough to fill the frogs + about 1 or 2mm), Then, when laying the bed joint on top of this, keep the bed joint tight, to maintain your guage.)
