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.

@Snowy36 @driver55: could you please continue your discussion via private message?
I’m concerned that this not only dilutes the thread but also discourages others from reading on and contributing their thoughts.Please list the correct users (in the future)!
First, I would ask why I don’t have a key to the house that I am having built and paying for. Secondly, since there are contractors on the construction site, it shouldn’t be a problem to access the house.
I’m more wondering what went wrong here. I would start by asking the developer if they are thinking straight.
And it’s actually logical that a house needs to be ventilated after the screed has been laid. Otherwise, how would the moisture get out of the house?

Overall, it looks like poor workmanship! (Especially when I see the door frame and the filthy crank joint.)
Was the interior finishing done by the company, by professionals? Or who was involved?
Have you reported this yet?
You should bring in the former site manager. And the quality of the acrylic sealant joint at the ceiling is clearly done with a minimum of 0.3% care (or possibly by a small child on a ladder). The other issues caught my eye immediately as well 😳

@Snowy36 Is it necessary to put painter's fleece everywhere? For a single-family house, that amounts to quite a few meters (yards).
