After returning from our vacation, we visited our construction site for the first time today. In the meantime, the internal window sills have been installed. We were shocked by the many cracks.... Of course, it is a natural material, but it really doesn’t look good. Is this normal and something we just have to accept?
Another question: Our front entrance door has already been installed, even though the interior plastering hasn’t been done yet. We have already noticed some scratches. The door wasn’t covered at all to prevent damage. The interior work is only just beginning, and different tradespeople are coming and going. How was this handled in your experience, and who is responsible for any potential damage?
Thank you for your opinions. We’re a bit upset with the carpenter right now.

Personally, I find it unacceptable. It’s like buying a new car that’s completely scratched. I wouldn’t accept that.Haha… completely scratched… come on, don’t exaggerate. That’s a hairline crack you can barely see without glasses and from a normal distance. And imagine, some natural stones even contain fossils and other inclusions. If you want something perfectly uniform, you’ll have to choose a synthetic material.N

I’ll assume you paid for second quality and the price reflected that.
I didn’t say that the window sills are completely scratched, but rather that there are individual, clearly visible cracks on every window sill throughout the entire house. I was just looking for an opinion on this... if this is normal, I will have to accept it. Right now, you are at a disadvantage with all trades involved... if you want to make any progress with the construction, unfortunately, that’s how it is. You either accept it or everything will be delayed even further.

I just wanted an opinion on that... if this is normal, I’ll have to accept it. At the moment, you're at a disadvantage with all trades involved... if you want the construction to move forward somehow, unfortunately, that’s the reality. You either accept it or everything gets delayed even more. That’s not entirely correct. I reported everything through the general contractor and all issues are being repaired or replaced without any problems. Just recently, I complained about the “small” crack on the roof terrace. You only notice it if you tilt your head up, but it’s still a defect.
