We have purchased an apartment from the developer (not a general contractor). The apartment is still under construction, but handover will take place soon.
Thank you very much for your help!

We have purchased an apartment from the developer (not a general contractor). The apartment is still under construction, but handover will take place soon.
- We have noticed that there is a large gap (> 3mm) between the wall and the door frame on some doors (in the attached photo, the parquet baseboard is 16mm (0.6 inches) deep, so the gap between the frame and the wall is about 5mm (0.2 inches)). Is this acceptable, or can we expect the frames to be fixed? If so, can the frame be installed closer to the wall, or will the gap just be filled with acrylic sealant and painted over?
- The load-bearing walls in the apartment are made of concrete, and some non-load-bearing walls are made of brick. On the non-load-bearing walls, there is a clearly visible gap between the wall and the ceiling (see photo). Should this gap be sealed by the painter?
Thank you very much for your help!
