I saw this this morning on a new construction. Weep wicks were installed on third course of brick. None on bottom course. Why??
Hi. Linus;
The only time I see that is when there is a brick shelf in the foundation/slab and the cavity behing those three courses are grouted and the flashing and weep are installed at that level.
Some install it at finish floor elevation, but I prefer to have it one course down.
Since I can not see the whole picture, this is an assumption.
Where was the finish floor relative to the first course of bricks in your photo?
I added this link for references;

Hope this helps a little.

I really didn’t go back into the home to investigate further. This was a second draw inspection on this home and I will investigate further on the next inspection. It had blown in cellulose wall insulation and some closed cell urethane foam insulation in different areas. I have only seen foam and blown in exterior wall insulation in maybe 3 out of 500 draws in the last 12 months.
