Hello,

is it necessary to replace these damaged bricks?

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

From both an insulation and structural point of view, the cracks in the bricks and the damage at this scale are completely harmless.

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

If the original poster asks the same question again after this detailed explanation, there’s really no helping them anymore.

Nice explanation *Top*

Looking forward to the next trade. They are typical Green Party voters who think that by paying a carbon offset, they have saved the climate.

In my opinion, it depends on the profession you come from. In many professions, there is right or wrong, 1 or 0. In construction, especially in the shell construction phase, there is a lot of room in between...

Green voters should be legally prohibited from building houses because it is the biggest climate sin after Caribbean cruises...

I am absolutely delighted by the bare photos of such perfect walls. In 26 months here – and considering my approximately 8,170 written posts, you can easily estimate how many posts from others I have read – I can count on one hand how rarely I have seen walls of such exemplary quality: there are fewer minor chipped edges than in any pack of sandwich cookies, the overlapping bond is correctly maintained, and only in very few places is there any mortar visible in the vertical joints, meaning no sloppy gaps. That one brick may be slightly more orange and another more pink is not a defect. If this were left as exposed brickwork, it would be a reference for the mason, and a painter could easily cover the hairline cracks. Gotthilf Penibel would compose odes of praise. The original poster seems, free paraphrasing @Nordlys, to be a micrometer person and will need strong nerves for all the next trades: walls this well built do not come together this young anymore. This mason should definitely be hired again for the brick facing. Young, jiv´ mer ens dem sing Adreß
