Can’t stess how important it is to ensure you have a good brickie especially with a painted face brick like the Australian Industrial Range. Overall they are all nice colours and mix together too. Just keep a eagle eye on things. I’ve seen a lot of homes with these bricks and as you said, many have chips let alone being laid unevenly via substandard brickies. Some will lay chipped and cracked bricks and some won’t, hopefully you’ll get one that takes pride in their work and cares. PM if you are in Vic and want a our brickies details.
