I'm building an outlet building at the back of the garden (5 by 6 and height is 2.5m), I'm worried about the quality of the work and any feedback would be much appreciated
1. Bad brickwork on the walls? It seems quite messy and also there is two blocks beside each other that have no cement between them.
2. Are AAC "Thermoblocks" suitable for using as a wall in the building?
3. Does the foundation look suitable? It is a 1m foundation only at the corners of the building, there is a metal beam on the ground which is nailed into the foundation, and the bricks and AAC thermoblocks are ontop of the beam. This type of foundation was chosen by the builder because we have got big trees in the back.
4. The builder says concrete floor does not need air vent, is this true?
I spoke with the builder about the brickwork and he said he will just cover it all with cement so it's not visible, however doesn't the bad brickwork means bad stability for the building?
Thank you SO much for any opinions and feedback.
== Pictures of brickwork ==
(literally hundreds more and some big chips and cracks on some bricks)
== Foundation ==
A metal beam with the bricks ontop, metal beam nailed to 4 corners foundation
(nail looks slightly bent already?! one nail missing?)
