Structural issues
Page 1 of 1
Can anyone please advise. I’m concerned about the structure of my 23 years olds first house. The brick work looks really sloppy with holes everywhere in the mortar broken bricks colour differences and different size bricks. Please is this normal?
looks very bad what did the contract say ? Tell them to pull it down . who are they ?
Hey cookie318 Welcome to the forum
You have posted limited photos but the brickwork looks OK at a glance
Also, it's not possible to check the mortar mix, brick ties, lintel, bonds and straps, etc to AS3700 by photos
If you are concerned have it inspected
The rough bricks will be rendered, the different bricks are used to provide min 3c bond depth to prevent cracking
Cheers
