Shell construction: Broken corners, gaps properly bricked up?

Hello everyone,

we are currently having a house built.
A few things have caught my attention where I am not sure if they are done correctly.

In some places, the corners of the Poroton bricks are chipped, and in some spots, leftover stone pieces (stone discs) have been set in with a lot of mortar. From my point of view, however, these are places where half a brick would have fit instead of 4 thin leftover slices being used and mortared in.
A friend who is a bricklayer looked at it and just said, "yeah, it's just using up leftovers." Nobody will see it anyway. There will be plaster on it. He didn’t say more. He doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
As a layman, I would have cut a half brick instead of using scraps.
It strikes me as strange as a layman.
The Poroton brick relies on the air inside the brick, especially regarding sound insulation and thermal insulation.
Can you tell me something about this?
Best regards
Varone

It has been resolved. I was too stupid to recognize the feather and groove. This was just sealed with glue.

It seems to me you are mistaken: those are probably valleys of end faces smoothed over with mortar – although presumably actually resulting from the use of cut-off stones. Apparently someone tried to "save" as best as possible instead of using botched pockets and reckless overlapping measures where the planner stepped out of the standard dimensions. I have seen far more objectionable workmanship here before. In some places I hope it’s not the walls that are crooked, but only you holding the camera crooked.

P.S.: Apparently you found something while searching for the floor plan - then show me what the result is!

Hey 11ant,

so you remember.
Yes, we did find something in the end.
The "crooked" walls are caused by the wide-angle lens. I even bought a 2m spirit level to check it. ;-)

I asked my site manager again today and he explained everything to me in detail. He said he often hears the question about the reuse of materials and it does look that way. But bricks just look like that when you see them from the side.
I’ll be happy to send you the floor plan via private message and also hear your opinion about it.
I don’t want to discuss it publicly anymore since, as I said, we’ve already started building ;-)
Please send me a message, I’m not yet authorized to send private messages.

With air-filled Poroton there is no sound insulation, neither to the outside nor between the floors. That is why this brick is, with all due respect, a big piece of trash... We also have it and I would never build with it again. (I was warned back then, but did not want to listen)
