Have they forgotten to put bricks on top of the window?

Have they forgotten to put bricks on top of this window?

What is the finish of the house?

will be all bricks, all grey just like the other bricks

So not rendered?

correct not rendered

Then I am at a loss. If it was to be rendered I thought they might put in blue/villa board - but if it’s brick finish, then I do not know why there are no bricks there already.

same I am at a loss too

Looks to me like the brickies and the window supplier might have had different ideas about either the correct head height, or the window height - the brickwork, including articulation joint, are finished off for a window with a head height one course higher than has been installed.

How does the height of the top of the opening compare to your other window openings (i.e. is it on the same course of bricks), and how does the size of the supplied window compare to what's on your plans?

This is our bathroom window and we had a big gap also. The builder installed an aluminium infill.

We have a tiled window reveal in our bathroom and the bath hob height dictated the window height so even though window sizes are calculated to fit brick dimensions, it threw the placement of the window out and we ended up with infill.

Yes they are installing an infill on this window too. Problem solved. Thanks for the response.

Was this done very late in the build, or done at the same time the bricks were installed?

You’re welcome.

Right at the end. It was outstanding when they came to inspect for the Occupancy Permit, and they wouldn’t issue the OP without the infill.

I think they should do it straight away as soon as the bricks are done as dirt, rain, insects could get into the gap. Unless there is a valid reason to leave it to the end, i'll be requesting this gets done straight away.
