Hello everyone,

We are almost finished with our house, but recently when I was at a neighbor’s place, I noticed this:

White house facade with gray base, dark windows and garden fence in the foreground


That made me suspicious, so I checked again at night with a spotlight, and this is what I found:

Two acquaintances of mine who work for a painting company, and another who works for a drywall company, told me that we should have had this redone.

At the moment, I am still waiting for a statement from my builder.
A friend who has a similar issue and built with the same company was dismissed with: “It’s due to the exposed location and the strip lighting.”

Am I being too picky, or is this really poor workmanship?

Best regards & thanks

For a new build, I find this unacceptable. The appearance could have been done by oneself as well. It looks completely amateurish.

However, it was carried out by a company from Thuringia that also builds several houses.

Hello,

do you have full thermal insulation on the house?

Regards,
Tom

I can't provide you with specific laws or statutes, but I can tell you that it looks really bad.

Wishing you strength and success in raising complaints and taking legal action.

@Tom1607 What do you mean by full thermal insulation? We have a solid house made of 24cm (9.5 inches) Ytong blocks and 12cm (5 inches) insulation panels.

@tomtom79 Thanks 😀
