    See if your builder was registerd with Homebond. Contact them and ask their professional advice, to start with.

    Did this builder build other houses in your neighbourhood? If so, maybe contact the owners to see if they are experiencing similar problems or is yours an isolated situation.

    DPM and DPC are simple to install during construction. It is difficult and expesive to retro-fit a damp-proof-course. We'd need more details a better description of each damp problem before I could comment further.

    Was the construction inspected at ground floor stage?

    I notice you are trying to find out the price of insulation in aother thread.
    Are you sure you are not confusing condensation with damp?

    Any pics of damp?
