And without plaster or other facade protection, it is exposed to the weather. So I don’t really understand the idea of "brickwork later." It will get soaking wet, with all the consequences that has for the interior.

Oh come on. But there is insulation between the stone and the facing brick, right?

Since I don’t see any anchors for the brick veneer, I assume that it will not be faced with bricks but rather mortar-raked. Admittedly, this does not answer the question about airtightness – however, I often saw new buildings in southwest Germany during my childhood being plastered on the outside long after people moved in.

No rainstorm lasts forever; afterwards, the pumice will dry out completely again.

This is still common practice here in the pumice region.

I actually wanted to share pictures of the screed today, but was quite surprised that no one was at the construction site at 4:30 pm. A call to the site manager revealed that apparently the entire crew called in sick this morning. It’s a shame, as the weekend would have been perfect for drying. Now it’s planned for Monday, but the kitchen measurers are coming Thursday morning. Otherwise, the appointment has to be canceled, and we would have to wait another 1 to 1.5 weeks. Frustrating!

No! Pumice absorbs moisture, just like Ytong and other porous building materials in general. Look up the processing instructions. Covering and extended drying time should be planned, as is mentioned everywhere.

At least the base coat plaster will be applied. But to leave out the brickwork phase X and just let the whole thing stand exposed to the weather? I would say that's bold.
