Hello,
in our new build, the surface unfortunately looks very uneven and gives an impression of instability.
Normally, we are only familiar with even and smoother finishes.

Is this considered a defect, and can it be fixed?
Otherwise, would it be possible to claim a price reduction because of this?

Thank you very much for your assessment and best regards

Honestly, I don’t see what you are describing. On the second picture, I only notice that it looks a bit untidy and needs to be wiped down again. But it’s not finished yet.
Is it a Viebrockhaus?

Actually, I can also see a very "uneven" pattern. But not only in the joints, also in the bricks themselves. I mean, they are set quite irregularly, just like the joints are roughly filled (all my personal observation). Whether this is all within the permissible tolerances, of course, I don’t know. But: money doesn’t make the joint pattern any neater!

Below the windowsill it does not look good. In my opinion, the chance of a successful complaint is very low.

As i_b_n_a_n writes, it is probably a combination of "crooked" bricks and the mortar joints, which were pressed in with varying pressure at the top and bottom.
Yes, it is a Viebrockhaus. Why?

I just guessed based on one clue and it has nothing to do with the workmanship 🙂
