While cutting some XPS to reinstate some insulation I (suddenly, belatedly) realised I'd come across no DPM anywhere within this floor assembly. I was under the impression BC would insist on a DPM being in place. Am I mistaken?

It doesn't seem to be a problem. The ground floor has been a (cheap) engineered wood for ages and no sign of damp has been seen]]>
