possible damp issue

[vibetime]

is it ok to have a dpm one brick course above dpc level so internal floor level can be higher ? these are single brick walls for a conservatorie , doing this would mean new floor level would be slightly higher than existing house dpc level is that ok to do ?
thanks

vibetime, your right theres many good people on here who will defo know the answer to this wait for them to answer.

in my opinion and i stress im no expert and minus experianced, i would have thought the DPM should be laid at the same level at the dpc, and then you could concrete the internal floor level to your desired level.

but again wait for experianced guys to help you on this one.
