WWilts Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Saw this at a site. Foundation masonry. Does it matter that it looks like this? Will be backfilled on both sides and filled with concrete, I believe. Could the cavity walls be wobbly if these blocks move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Mortar still looks green-were you there whilst they were at break? Should be jointed up even in the footings-it encourages full joints as they’re easier to joint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilts Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 I thought it can't be right. Hopefully the walls will stand firm owing to the backfilling both sides and lean mix in the cavity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 What was the spec given to the contractor for the blockwork..? If it’s perps full filled and pointed then that isn’t to spec, but if you’ve not asked for that then you’re not paying for it. TBH it only looks like the corner being set up so I would want to see it when they have done a couple more courses before passing judgment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
