The photos show before (when weep screed holes are visible) and after (now that holes are blocked).

It's important for stucco to have proper drainage to prevent water damage and ensure the longevity of your home's exterior. Blocking the weep screed holes can hinder drainage and potentially lead to moisture-related issues.
You should address this concern with your contractor or builder immediately. The weep screed is designed to allow water to exit the wall system, and blocking these holes may compromise the drainage system.
