What material should the window and front door supports be made of?

Our house is still under construction.

Above the windows and the front door of our EFH, the facing brickwork is supported by columns or guides which are anchored in the floor slab. Everything is basically great except for the following:

The supports used are rusty, although according to the designer they should be stainless steel (V2A).

The installed battens are 3 mm thick and are not magnetic. The welds where the supports are welded are clearly visible through the strip – this is where the strips rust. A total of 19 of these elements are installed.

Next door are installed much stronger, thicker supports. Also, the color of the supports installed elsewhere looks more like stainless steel and is simply more valuable.
