Also please provide your comments on the following brick work. Today I checked out my brickwork. Overall is pretty good so far, except for these areas, which is at the front of the house. The 2nd photo - why is there a block of mortar as oppose to a cut brick? I definitely won't be covering that up with soil or path since I need 1 brick gap for the weep hole? The 3rd photo concerns me the most. The concrete got chipped off badly somehow. It was fine before. Anyway not so much my concern, it will be fixed up... But the horizontal brick mortar lines are so crooked. So far the brick walls only went around the house around 1.5 meter high.. So its definitely fixable once I speak to my SS on Monday. Assuming they don't work again over the weekend. However, I like to know if these are within tolerance. My biggest concern is the 3rd picture.. Since its very obvious in real life viewing. PS, by the time the brickwork goes up to the 3 brick from the bottom, they start to more of less align nicely again. Thanks All Re: Brick Laying Tolerance 2Sep 28, 2018 7:16 pm The brickwork on third photo is unacceptable. I don't like The Guide to Standards and Tolerances because it condones bad workmanship but even so you can check it yourself against the guide.
