The concrete foundations are poured and a few weeks later the walls rise out
of the ground. These photos shows a cavity wall being constructed up
to damp proof course level. The wall is 280mm wide. After the DPC the
cavity is filled with insulation all the way up to roof eaves level.
The outside wall is built out of solid concrete blocks and the inside
skin is built out of lightweight insulation blocks.

Ground floor joists are then fixed Resting on the internal lightweight blocks and on top of the DPC.
Similarly at first floor level Walls are then built up from DPC level and openings are created for
doors and windows. Lintels are built into the cavity wall to support loadings above.
