Rant: Hauling away reusable bricks because the specs demand new
The architect's plans called for virgin materials, no exceptions. It kills me to see perfectly good brick end up in a landfill.

Building codes usually require new bricks for safety. Old bricks might have hidden problems that could cause trouble later. While

mentioned electronics, bricks in walls need to be reliable, so maybe it's not so bad.

Seen the same with perfectly good electronics tossed for minor upgrades.

But are hidden brick problems actually that common?
