ᐅ Drafts at the corners of the windows?

What does your purchase agreement say about defect-free condition and liability for defects?

The house is still under warranty; I have already sent an inquiry to the developer.
The purchase agreement only stated that all rights transfer to the buyer.

The problem is the building energy regulation as well – we have openings visible in the photos and some cracks, all on the inside. There is nothing noticeable on the outside around the windows... There has already been an opinion that if everything is sealed on the outside (and I don’t see how you can really be sure without taking the window apart), it’s not an issue, since air moves within the timber frame walls behind the vapor barrier, which is considered normal. So the approach would be to seal on the inside, install the windowsill, use silicone and expanding foam, and that’s it. I’m waiting to see what the builder says, but if he more or less says the same, my chances look bad and I can only hope that nothing rots away in five years...

I bought a 2-year-old house, a prefabricated timber frame construction.
It was not finished by the original owners in all the small details; for example, interior window sills are missing.

What do you mean by "builder," and why "warranty"?
It is uncommon, but occasionally happens, that prefabricated houses appear in developer projects—however, I have never heard of this in the form of a shell-and-core home. Warranties generally only cover the contracted scope of work; in the case of a shell-and-core home, the parts completed by the owner or subcontracted are not the responsibility of the house manufacturer. Any claims you have would therefore be against the seller (presumed to be the owner who performed the work, as the poor workmanship visible in the photos suggests an amateur or unskilled worker) or their contractors. The manufacturer or any potential resale developer is not involved.

What kind of "property developer," and why "warranty"?
Prefabricated houses are rarely, but occasionally, used in property development projects — however, I have never heard of this in the form of a shell house. Warranties can only ever cover the contractual object; in the case of a shell house, the scope of owner-performed or subcontracted work is not the responsibility of the house manufacturer. Therefore, any claims can only be directed against the seller (who presumably performed the work themselves, as the defects shown in the photos look like amateur or Myhammer jobs) or against their contractors. The manufacturer or a possible reseller/developer has nothing to do with this.

Sorry, I may not always have the terminology exactly right, perhaps the word “property developer” was wrong.
The house comes from a well-known prefabricated house manufacturer Massa Haus, whose services also included installing the windows (as I understand, still in the factory during wall production).

And installing the window sills was supposed to be done by us, but it was never carried out?

I’m not aware that anything is missing except for the window sills, right?
