ᐅ Improperly repaired exterior wall issue – what can be done?

Hello everyone,

We are currently still in the shell construction phase, and two weeks ago we noticed a masonry error. The distance between the front door and the windows on the left and right sides was supposed to be exactly the same, so it would look symmetrical. However, the wall between the door and the window on the right side was significantly wider than the wall between the door and the window on the left side. We reported this to the site manager, and he took care of the correction.

The correction now looks like this: the masons simply cut away some of the wall where too much was built, and added masonry where the distance to the window was too small. However, and here is what seems odd and wrong to us, this was done without maintaining the required overlap bonding. That means there is now a continuous vertical joint running from top to bottom in the exterior wall, right next to the front door (see photo).

We wanted this to be redone with the proper overlap bonding. Our site manager says that the wall does not need to be rebuilt because flat ties have been drilled into the aerated concrete and the joint was reinforced with expanded metal mesh to bridge cracks. Allegedly, this definitely prevents any cracking.

My father is also a site manager and thinks we should issue a formal complaint because the vibrations in the wall (caused by the frequent opening and closing of the front door later on) could indeed cause cracks.

We are now caught in the middle and don’t know what to do. Should we trust the site manager that nothing will happen, or trust my father and send a formal complaint? We actually don’t want any conflict with the construction company, as we have been very satisfied so far. What do you think about this situation?

Thank you very much for your help!!
