ᐅ Ground floor constructed with masonry. Gable walls: timber frame with wood cladding?

Hello everyone,

While reviewing our building specification, I noticed the following point.

On the ground floor, the wall structure (simplified) looks like this:

aerated concrete - insulation - brick cladding

Since we want to clad the gable ends and a bay window of the house with wood, the construction company plans to use a timber frame - insulation - wooden facade system there.

As a layperson, I wonder if the transition from the masonry ground floor to the timber frame at the gable could cause problems (airtightness, thermal bridges...).

Or is this just the concern of a cautious homeowner who finds issues in every detail of the building specification?

Best regards
