Hi guys - only recently discovered this forum and spent a few days looking through several build threads.
I've just got to lockup, with a small building company based in Murrumba Downs. We are building in Central Lakes, Caboolture.
I've come this far on my own, having never done this process before but I think I need advice or reassurance for this part!
Had a good walk around the property today, and I was shocked at the quality of the workmanship in the bricklaying. I'll attach some pictures. Bearing in mind it all needs to be washed and it's obviously not finished, however I still feel there are several things seriously wrong.
Chipped bricks:

Missing mortar, at least 2x different locations.

Uneven brick height and consequent mortar width.

Poor size, shape and repair of holes

Uneven surface. Note the shadows cast by several bricks as they sit further out than the rest.

This in several locations also.

Again with uneven rows/mortar width. This and the other shots taken from an angle are on a zero boundary. This is where the quality is the worst, by far.

Another shocking hole/fill job

Bricks on top of the electrical box?! What's that about?

Is this something that's going to be addressed automatically by the site supervisor, and fixed as part of the process, or is it likely that they hope I didn't notice?
Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing your opinions!
Cheers - Tony.
