Hello everyone,
I am currently having a beautiful new home built for my family, and the shell construction work is now in its final stages.

Unfortunately, there was a communication problem between the architect and the bricklayers, so a "slanted wall" (below the ring anchor) was initially not built high enough or was built too early with slanted bricks. After the error was recognized, the bricklayers continued building on the existing slope with more slanted bricks until the correct height was reached:

To me, the whole thing looks a bit shaky because the bricks now rest slanted on each other. Is this construction even permissible according to DIN standards?

Thanks to you all in advance!

Everything looks good. I don't see any problems here at all. Maybe visually a bit unusual. But nothing more than that.

I would discuss this with the architect. Basically, the mortar is now subjected to shear stresses due to the changed angle of force application, and it is not designed for that.

First of all, thank you for your feedback & your assessments! Then I will think about how to proceed best now.

Do you actually have an expert? If not, now would be the time to get one

I would also have that checked. The concrete pillar at the front was also "extended," which may have to bear more pressure due to the slanted stones.
