ᐅ Bricks Are Wet on the Inside – Is This a Construction Defect?

Is this a construction defect – see photo?
This is the west-facing wall of our house.
The bricks are completely wet both inside and outside.
For your information: the roof is not installed yet, and the concrete ring beam is finished.
Brick type: solid block brick.
Where the moisture starts, there is a floor-to-ceiling window on the upper floor.
About a week ago, when we had heavy rain, water ran down the outside wall from the upper floor.
It already looked like this at that time… but I thought it was normal… Now the wall is still wet from the inside.
It really looks like water is standing inside the wall.
Is there actually water inside the brick?
Will it dry again on its own, or are drying measures necessary?

When I looked at the base of the wall, I discovered ice crystals.
Could these ice crystals inside the brick cause it to crack?

I honestly don’t know what to make of this.
Thank you for your help.

Over the past few weeks, I have already noticed several damp walls in our house. They have mostly dried out by now, but it is taking some time...
What does your builder say?

The builder and others are on vacation and cannot be reached.

This is how it looked at our place during construction after the rain as well, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

It simply takes much longer to dry... Therefore, the last layer of bricks or any open window openings should always be covered. Basically quite simple... later on, drying units and fans... the electricity provider will be happy.
