Not many flaws exist on this project. One of the few, this honeycomb at the joint between a floor slab and a vertical face of the bris solei may have been caused by a form leak. Any form leak will allow water and cement paste out of the form, leaving a segregated mix area behind.
Here, the wall forms deflected under the load of the concrete, and bowed out at the middle of each form. A little more bracing may have prevented this.
