Thanks. I plan to build a simple twin self contain house in half plot. I have a trusted bricklayer, do I need to get a contractor having known the process? I have time now.

This is a good thread

Ok

Knowing a process of building a house is different from knowing the technicalities behind the process. A lot of people make things mistake just because they want to safe money but at the long run they spent more.
I know of a building where by the owner claim to know the process but at the end of the day he didn't consider the road level, so after the area has a significant level of development most of the rain water from the street flows into the man's compound. The road is yet to be tarred but already the compound is already lower than the road.
Most people that rent the ground flats don't spend more than a year before leaving because water enters their apartment. He is planning to do major renovation now and it is like penny wise pound foolish.

Damp Proof Course

It can be taken as the level at which 'dampness' or moisture or water is stopped from seeping into the building from the ground or it is also used to describe the material used for achieving this, especially when placed in walls. Such materials can also be referred to as a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM).
