Hello,
The masons recently finished building the ground floor walls, but I noticed that on one side of the house the facing bricks extend about 1–2.5 cm (0.4–1 inch) above the base slab. I immediately measured the interior walls with a laser measuring device, and everything was correct inside. So now the question is, is it a problem that the facing bricks are not fully sitting on the base slab?
Thanks in advance

whether my answer will truly help you is hard to say, since you only know my profile, but neither me personally nor my work.
I can also answer your next question quite easily; however, I do not believe it will give you lasting reassurance. In my experience, you either need to place more trust in your construction manager or—what I consider more effective—invest in independent construction supervision.
Answers from a forum can be both correct and incorrect; there is often plenty of nonsense to read. They can never fully replace external professional expertise or provide lasting peace of mind!
PS: The slot, as well as others, will of course be closed before the exterior thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is applied.
Best regards, Bauexperte
