There are quite a few builders who do it this way, although I would always build up both skins from the foundations. There is a possible damp problem from taking the inner skin straight off the floor.

You mean "connie base installers" me thinks!

It is a cheap and cheerful way of building a dwarf wall and considering connies are not regulated then fill ya boots.

I personally refuse to build this way and is why i have never agreed to build connie bases for plastics companies simply because their budget and specification will not cover it.

Plastics companies expect a budget job and boy, do they get it! :rolleyes:
