Strong wind blows down the shell construction wall

Hello,

we are building a house with concrete blocks. The construction workers have completed the exterior walls up to ceiling height. Now there was quite strong wind and the wall between the future patio doors fell down, including the upper closures on the door openings (there were metal supports underneath, which are now also lying on the ground).

We are now not sure whether this can happen when the wind is strong, or if this is a sign of poor shell construction work. Of course, our site manager says that this is not a cause for concern. Does anyone know if this is really the case?

Hello,

What do you mean by "concrete blocks"?

I only know the use of concrete blocks in paving, at most used for palisades or also - mainly by municipalities - as benches in the urban landscape.

Best regards

aerated concrete

Aerated concrete has a low self-weight, and if the wind is strong enough, it can certainly topple a freshly erected pillar. It is difficult to assess via the Internet, however, I think that a toppled pillar does not say much about the quality. I would not panic immediately. A few years ago, we installed the gables of a single-family house, and the next day they were on the ground... it was also the wind. And it says nothing about quality. Sometimes it just happens... The main thing is that no one is underneath!
