ᐅ How to check if exterior walls are out of plumb, and by how much?

We are currently in the middle of construction, fairly advanced. Due to negative experiences within our circle of friends, we want to check if the exterior walls are correct. At least by eye, it looks like the south wall is no longer perfectly vertical/straight after the plaster was applied. We have reported this to the construction company, and someone will take a look next week.
However, we would also like to check it ourselves. A 2-meter (6.5-foot) spirit level from the hardware store helps us with the interior walls but not with the tall exterior walls. A Bosch laser level seemed like a good idea and cost about 30 euros, but the laser beam is not strong enough to be clearly visible outside.
How can we measure this ourselves before possibly having it checked by a surveyor or building inspector, if necessary?

Hello
I have to share an old saying:
What distinguishes the carpenter, the joiner, and the bricklayer?
The carpenter works with millimeter precision.
The joiner works with centimeter precision.
And the bricklayer is happy as long as he stays within the property boundaries.
