the job we are on at the minute has a block and beam floor
the beams sit on trench blocks then the blocks are inserted and a DPC lays flat on that for the timber frame to sit on
insulations sits straight on the block and beam followed by a floating floor of 18mm t+g chipboard
the top of this chipboard relates exactly to the dpc level of the outside brick work
any telescopic airvents must have 450 wide dpc over them
it sounds more complicated than it is
i will see if the drawing shows it in the morning as i made good the floors today
LLL :)
