ᐅ "Uneven Gaps in Parquet Flooring? Defect or Acceptable Tolerance?"

Hello everyone,
I’m moving into my new build on March 1st and have the handover with the builder on Monday.
The hardwood flooring was “included,” meaning the builder had it installed. For the past 4 weeks, it has already been subtly subjected to wear and tear—there are small stones, sand, dirt everywhere, and thousands of scratches. I’m trying hard to stay calm. Despite reminding the builder twice, the flooring was not covered. So I covered it myself. Yesterday, it was scrubbed by a “non-expert,” as the person himself said, using a neutral cleaner, which of course rubbed the dust and dirt in even more. My patience is running thin.
Anyway—I also noticed yesterday that some areas look “carelessly” done and some corners appear a bit worn. I’m not a professional and don’t know if this is normal.
I definitely don’t want to be picky or exaggerate, so here’s my expert question: is this result within a “normal” range or is it poorly executed?
Thanks a million in advance!
Best regards,

Please provide 1-2 additional overview photos. I am not familiar with hardwood flooring installed without staggered joints, and unless the manufacturer explicitly approves it, this is not considered professional. Based on the photos, the appearance looks worn.
I would refuse to accept the hardwood flooring.

What kind of parquet is that? Solid or engineered? Floating or glued?
From these pictures, it looks more like laminate or vinyl?!It is solid oak mosaic parquet, 8 mm (0.3 inches) thick, glued down – from the company Bembé.

Should it be installed like this without any offset? It looks kind of strange... Well, the joints... No commentThis is mosaic parquet laid in a straight bond pattern. Is an offset necessary in this case?
