Hi all i know zero about house building and bricklaying so thought I would see if I could get some advice please we are just about to complete on a new build home by Bellway and this is the side of the house. I have attached a photo of the side of the house and the brickwork. is that normal? Is it likely to match up over time? Am I being too fussy to expect it to match up?

I found the following technical intro to cement usage during home construction useful and thought it would help others at the bottom end of the learning curve like me. Now I know how many bricks can be laid when a full 25kg OPC bag is used. Published by Blue Circle. https://tarmac-bluecircle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Builders-Guide-170118a.pdf

I have to repair parts of the fireplace in our front room and while I have the stone I am wondering how to match the new cement with the stuff already used? I have mixed up the sand with cement for the outside wall and its a completely differernt colour, more grey. So any suggestions on how to get something closer to the original? Thanks. It's Cotswold stone and the grout/cement used in similar in colour to the stone. The right hand side has a section missing and there is also some needed on the far left hand side which you cant really see from the photo's. here's what it looked like originally. I have removed the wood mantle but hope to get another nice oak mantle for it. should match the wood flooring which we plan to put down.
