Brickwork at an outside corner
A corner can show the same condition across two wall faces. Photographing only one side may hide the extent and direction of visible cracking.
Show both elevations
Take a wide view of each wall and a view looking toward the corner. Record any previous patches and nearby downspouts or openings. Describe whether the condition is new or has changed, without trying to pull or press the masonry.
Define the next step
Ask how the repair wraps the corner and how the transition to retained work will be handled. Keep any further assessment requirement explicit.
