Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

I see that the joints between your precast concrete floor elements are already finished. Is this part of your contract for the construction of the ground floor / upper floor shell? I have received the invoice for this phase and was surprised by the open joints... I wanted to raise an issue but then thought maybe this is included in the partial payment for interior plastering. However, seeing your setup now, I am reconsidering...
You are also using Poroton bricks. With our Poroton bricks, after constructing the ground floor / upper floor, there are various holes in the bricks; some have already been plastered over, but many are still open. Again, I wonder if this is something to be addressed during the plastering partial payment or if it should already be completed before approval of the ground floor / upper floor shell work.
Here are a few photos showing how it looks this evening...It might be hard to see in the pictures, but the precast concrete floors are not yet grouted. That will definitely be done later.
Regarding the Poroton bricks, we don’t have many damages, maybe on 3-4 bricks and none significant. This is probably because we used the Perlite-filled bricks, which have somewhat thicker webs and are therefore stronger. None of the damaged bricks have been plastered over yet either.

@Goldi09111: This will move very quickly now! Do you happen to have the floor plans of your house? I find the shape really interesting!
@Eldea: The bathroom looks great. Is the bathtub from Villeroy & Boch? And is the shower tray 120cm x 90cm (47 inches x 35 inches)?Yes, exactly, the shower tray is 120cm x 90cm (47 inches x 35 inches). The bathtub is from Kaldewei and both are made of steel enamel.At our place, the joints between the precast concrete slabs were sealed by the painter. I can’t really imagine that this is part of the shell construction. Depending on the smoothness of the precast slab and the final surface finish, the joints often need several layers of filler, and sometimes the ceiling elements themselves need to be filled as well (there may be small holes in them that would still be visible after painting otherwise).
It was the same for us; the painter did it. I would also somehow feel uncomfortable with that being done before the screed on the floor above is placed and fully cured. There will be a significant additional weight, which could cause cracks to appear again in the filled areas.

A major advantage of the jumbo formats and the adhesive system, as well as the mortar-free joints, is the speed of work. Being overly delicate would slow this down. Zero defects are not the standard here, we’re not talking about exposed brickwork. People from non-construction professions often have too romantic an idea of how their house should look naked. It will still last a hundred years.
