ᐅ Damp or moisture in the wall caused by inadequate ventilation after screed installation

Dear building experts,
In my father’s new house, the walls are cracking as if they were tectonic plates.
He told me that 3-4 weeks passed between the screed installation and the first ventilation.
It seems to me that moisture has penetrated the beams of the prefabricated house, causing the building to now "move."
Can anyone advise me on how to deal with this? Or where the regulations are regarding how builders are required to ventilate?
Thank you very much for your advice.

Despite calling to request the key and following up with reminders, the floor screed area was not ventilated for 3-4 weeks. Fresh air only entered the house for a few hours occasionally when workers were on site.In that case, I see the responsibility lying with the construction company. No key means the homeowner cannot be responsible for ventilation. Have you also documented in writing that you requested the key?stenh1978 schrieb:
Unfortunately, he couldn't take any photos because the whole wall was wet, not just "spots" that could have been seen. I still don't understand.
You can’t photograph a completely wet wall, only if certain areas are wet? 😳
If the walls were wet, he should have checked the windows.
Okay, he’s living there now. So what is coming loose? The joints between wall and ceiling, or is it the plaster/wallpaper within the wall?
He should be able to take pictures inside his own house now, right? How many weeks or months have passed since the screed was laid or since moving in?
It can’t be that complicated…

You can’t be serious right now..,
One thing is an attitude (of the speaker or the listener), the other is a distortion of our language.I never wrote it like that – it was probably changed by the moderator. Didn’t you notice that otherwise the conversation wouldn’t have happened at all? Omg. And it’s Emfänger:in. Sorry.askforafriend11 Sep 2022 10:58Snowy36 schrieb:
Aha, and where exactly am I, as a man, not supposed to feel overlooked when addressed as Anwält:in? The idea might be nice, but the execution is a 6 (out of 10). I, as a doctor, would also like to be called Ärzt:in.
