Cracks on the exterior walls

我才做了一个5年新的house的building report
请专家分析一下：
Considerable cracking is present in the exterior walls indicating that the builder has
not incorporated sufficient techniques in the construction of this building to prevent
cracks from appearing. These techniques may include, but are not limited to, the
omission of vertical articulation joints, the installation of insufficient articulation
joints or the omission of slip joints and although no instability in the walls could be
identified, some risk is present that cracking may increase in extent and severity in
the future. (Photo 3)
ii. Staining is also present on the exterior wall at the side of the house due to damp
penetration of the wall and a waterproofing contractor should be engaged to
determine the cause of dampness and rectify as necessary.
Since cracks are present in the exterior walls at the front, sides and rear, patching and
painting of the entire house will be necessary to obtain a satisfactory finish and costs
involved can easily be in the order of $30,000 or $40,000
