Good evening,
general question: how airtight does a shell construction have to be?
During the inspection of our shell construction, we first noticed a gap at a drill hole for an electrical outlet: the white gap in the photo is the space between two bricks, i.e. there is a direct gap to the outside here and you can feel a slight draft. The electrical outlet will probably not seal this completely. At another spot, the bricks also do not close precisely and you can see outside (2nd photo).
Is this considered "botched work" and should we complain, or is this normal and will the plaster make it airtight?
PS: no insulation will be applied on the outside anymore. These are unfilled 36.5 bricks.
Thank you very much in advance!
