David, this is very common, some areas are worse than others.
This is why we stay in business!
I would recommend multi-phase inspection and advise the client not to let the drywall or brick to be installed until the issues are addressed. If you are doing new construction, you really should be familiar with the codes used in your area and quote them in your report. I'll bet your client can read even if their builder and the AHJ can't.
BTW, where are you located? You can add that to your profile and it will show up on your posts to help people answer your questions.
