Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

At several points, mortar pockets were sloppy patched up because the walls apparently weren’t built to the correct dimensions. What is this three-brick-high gap (front left in photo 4): a flap for an extremely long-legged cat?At least here they are filled with mortar. Friends of mine built a house where these gaps were left open.

Is it possible that you are the only person on earth bothered by cutting stones?
You have also often raised this issue with ceiling heights (and I partially responded that the clearance height is usually adjusted anyway).
Immediately afterward, you claim that the bricklayer is not obligated to millimeter accuracy, at best to centimeter accuracy.
I just don’t understand this intensity. In our new development area, everyone has a stone saw, which is completely normal.
Besides, it doesn’t look like cutting is really a big deal.

At least here they are sealed with mortar. Acquaintances had built, and theirs were left open. You should stuff them with banknotes deducted from the architect’s fee

Technically, cutting aerated concrete is no big deal – but with bricks, you can see for yourself (the house photo thread suffices) how often the vertical joints are either separated or even filled unevenly. This can be avoided if the architect fully understands the standard module grid. It wasn’t invented arbitrarily but is directly related to the dimensions of the masonry units.

In the next breath, you proclaim that the bricklayer doesn’t have to be accurate to the millimeter, at best to the centimeter. Bricks don’t come from CNC milling machines, bricklayers are not watchmakers, mortar isn’t mixed by pharmacists, and time is money. That’s why building a house with nanometer tolerances would never work. But that’s no reason or license to be careless in planning. Understanding the relationship between the dimensions of the “module” brick and the resulting wall dimensions should be second nature to an architect. In the “new” format, it’s no longer hard to remember.

The reason the stone saw is needed is less due to the masons or adhesive applicators and more because the architect does not design according to standard dimensions. If the architect planned using standard dimensions, there would be no mortar gaps.
The poor workmanship starts right at the top.
