ᐅ Uneven Walls – Distance from Baseboards

Hello,

We are about to receive the handover of our new build from the developer.

During the last inspection, we noticed rather large gaps between the baseboards and the walls. It seems the walls or plaster are not perfectly straight and also not exactly at right angles.
I have attached two photos as examples.
The site manager just dismissed it and said it would simply be sealed with acrylic.

What is your opinion on this? Is this acceptable?

Best regards,
Thomas

Acrylic caulking gun, long and good quality. It will never be perfectly straight anyway.

In my opinion, baseboards belong on the wall and should not be hastily installed at a perfect right angle just for the sake of it. That was just work done by the book from the contractor.

Yes, absolutely within the norm. It is done using acrylic, as @Nordlys mentions.
Otherwise, it looks very neat.

Alright, apply acrylic, and off you go.

Not just acceptable, but common. Apply acrylic sealant and you will have a) a clean finish and b) the issue will no longer be visible.
