It is called spalling and is caused by freeze thaw action.
That said the bricks should be to 9n/mm2 and to BS EN771 classified for F2/S" or F2/S1  against freezing.

Check your brick type against the manufacturer's literature online.
Write to the housebuilder and get it on record as you only have a year left to get this on record.

New Home Expert:
This brick is F2 and is therefore classed as "frost resistant"
