New construction KfW 55 house, exterior walls without air layer

Hello dear homeowners,

I have an urgent question (I am not an expert). So we are building an almost turnkey single-family house according to KFW 55 standard in northern Germany. In our construction specification, we have an external wall structure of:

17.5 cm Ytong blocks
11.5 cm clinker bricks
12 cm insulation
3 cm air gap

The clinker company finished the clinker this week (They took about 3 weeks). During the 3 weeks, I noticed that there is no air gap between the insulation and the clinker. (Insulation partly compressed) When I asked my site manager, he just said that everything is fine. Such a method is legitimate.

I really need help from professionals.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Wrong forum possibly, as there are few masonry experts here. That bricks are laid without an air gap is probably quite normal, however (according to my layman's knowledge) it requires core insulation suitable insulation (permanently water-repellent). Google "zweisch-mauerwerktcm45-34992.pdf" - Fraunhofer has written something on the topic. What does it say on the bags of the insulation?

Hello,

Sorry, I thought it was exactly right for the topic of insulation.

On the package it said:

Kerndämmplatte KDP 2/V from Ursa.

But where does any possible resulting water go?

Thanks

Well - a gap the width of a finger still exists - it then runs down the insulation and out at the bottom.
