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

Whether you are a layperson does not matter. You could have consulted an expert for assistance. Likewise, it was your choice to bring tools to the final inspection, such as a flashlight. Some people even bring a spirit level and a tape measure to the final inspection. This is not considered a so-called "hidden defect."

You could have consulted an expert for assistance. Similarly, you were free to bring aids to the inspection, such as a spotlight. Some people even bring a spirit level and a tape measure to the inspection. This is not considered a so-called "hidden defect." Fortunately, I have legal expenses insurance for such cases. 😉K
