Hello,

is it necessary to replace these damaged bricks?

Making fun of the uninformed ultimately leads, through three detours, to the current election results.

@Lumpi_LE This is the second thread with the same question. Everyone already reassured him in the first request, so it is no longer being taken seriously now.

@buzzi_cement It’s good that you are involved with the house during the construction phase and not relying entirely on the contractors. From my experience, I can tell you that this is the right and important approach.

From both a thermal insulation and structural perspective, cracks in the bricks and damages of this size are completely harmless.

If you find larger openings through which you can see through, ask the contractor to fill these gaps with two-component foam (for thermal insulation purposes).

Construction work is different from, for example, watchmaking.

So—this time without irony—please don’t worry. These bricks are neither defective nor will anything happen to your house. You might even encounter things that make you gasp or cringe. But on construction sites, people working are usually what feels like “rough manual workers,” who, in cooperation with different trades, ultimately produce exactly what you ordered: a house.

That's true... that is indeed a bit odd..
