 Beware of wrong snagging
Hi
Nice web site but you are slightly out on your snags.
External finish
Door step - The Building Regulations (BR) do talk about steps but not in the singular fashion. For it to be considered a step there needs to be a rise of more than 600mm. So it complies
Mortar stains on decorative lintel - not very nice but you have missed out that the weep hole has been placed too high. If that is too high I expect the cavity tray is to high which means you may get damp penetration at some time.
Poor pointing - Not very sightly but it looks like the fascia is out of level and again no weep holes.
Noiticed the Thermalite block but that is fine they use them in about 90% of the houses now. Interesting comment that you said you can feel the back of the brick. If the house is not timber frame you should be able to feel the bottom of the wall insulation. Could be a blown fibre insulant and then you could have problems.
If your house is a timber frame property it would explain the twisted window cill.
Great website do you do it for a living?
If you want to have a go at a builder make sure you have the correct problems under the correct guidance otherwise they will run rings around you.
