Hello,
is it generally advisable to buy a house with just plaster and then hire a company to install the brickwork later, or does this usually lead to higher overall costs?
The idea: to start building more cost-effectively and add the brick veneer 2-3 years later because it looks better.
Thank you.

Is this type of wall construction acceptable? From my point of view, yes, except that I agree with

Honestly, the jointing bothers me. They offer brick slips but don’t finish the work properly. you should definitely do a proper smooth finish there.
Otherwise, the described wall construction would not be suitable if you replace the outer layer with render/plaster, since the thicknesses of the other layers would need to be recalculated.

We are having the designer compare the brick slip version with the rendered facade including stylish color elements. Regarding aesthetics, I wasn’t thinking of large-scale folk-style painting with red bay windows or filling window areas with color patches just to align them with the ones on the floor above. You might as well use french fries grease as hair gel ;-)

Insulation can be added later, but brick veneer is apparently very complex to install. Expensive stainless steel brackets need to be attached to the foundation slab to carry the weight (with insulation in between, the brick veneer is quite far from the foundation). This doesn’t seem very practical... Especially since the plaster is not a good base for additional insulation, which would mostly be a temporary solution.
