ᐅ Carpentry and Roofing Work – Are These Defects or Not?

It could look nicer, but it's definitely not dramatic...
The underlay membrane is not glued with standard roof pitch either.

Really not nice, but all minor issues.
Overall, I would definitely say something to them now and watch very closely in the future.

Thank you for the feedback so far. I have spoken with the general contractor and sent photos. They said I am partly right (which points, I don’t know!). The site manager will review everything once on-site. The roofer has also been informed. So, let’s see what they will do.

The gutter bracket can’t be installed there because of the downspout.

The cracked battens... I mean, is the idea to pre-drill every batten? It will probably have to be accepted as is.

A non-adhered underlayment membrane is not ideal, because it lets air pass through freely and allows light snow to be blown underneath during winter.

Will you be using concrete roof tiles or clay tiles? The latter are generally trouble-free, but concrete tiles can become saturated, especially as they age. In that case, sealed nails would be a better option.

As mentioned, there are actually rules depending on roof pitch, location, whether there is living space below, and so on.

In our case, this was not done, and despite having clay roof tiles, water still runs through the nails into the rafters of the garage. Not ideal.

Yeah, not pretty but quite irrelevant in my opinion.
It probably happens on every construction site if someone looks closely.
