We are currently in the handover stage of our building process.
Noticed a list of brickwork issue (Bricks misalign, lint bow etc) recently and pushed my builder to fix.
I noticed that brick joint line in front of my house wasn't straight.
Just wondering if it is violating any standards that I could push my builder to fix?
Thank you very much.
Here are the pics:
There are also misaligned mortar vertically:
When using a private inspector just be careful you are not dragged into a defamation case with a contractor instigated by your private inspector.
I had a call from a lady in tears. A home inspector had not pointed out fretting mortar. Now she is up for thousands of dollars.
Inspectors are quick to take your $1000 for a report. Make sure your inspector is a qualified builder so you can have their building licence confiscated.
If need be you can litigate the inspector to recover your case.
If you are referring to the internal brick corner, this how it should be, a bonded corner looks like this.
