interesting that your contractor's workers build the brick wall first before erecting a concrete stiffener to tie the brick wall to. my main contractor's workers always cast the concrete stiffeners first then build the brick walls.

I suppose the recessed area on the left is for your meter compartment. from the photos it looks like the workers just lay the bricks to abut your neighbour's boundary wall column. hope that in future if your neighbour redevelops the house and tears down the column, it won't affect/damage your meter compartment.

My contractor did construct reinforced concrete base, it was a huge job digging well below the ground with ribar.

I’m referring to the right side of the wall where the gloves are being hung from the rebars which are stuck in between the bricks. Normally a concrete stiffener would be cast with these rebars already in and tied to the vertical rebars of the stiffener then the bricks would be laid with the rebars in between every 4 layers of brick. Of cos there are multiple ways to skin a cat so this way should work as well. 
a concrete foundation is standard for building a brick wall. Cannot just build on soil as the wall may collapse in time due to soil movements

Finally the interior is taking shape, once the ceiling is done I hope the flooring and kitchens would be completed by November 2020
