ᐅ The tiles in the shower have been installed unevenly.

Hello,

I chose elongated tiles for the shower that create vertical grout lines. Now the tiler has installed the tiles, but unfortunately they are not straight. When entering the shower, you can immediately see that the tiles are slanted. Is this a valid reason to file a complaint, or am I being too picky?
I am building through a developer who is managing multiple projects at the same time.
The final inspection is scheduled for November. I would like to know if there is a chance the tiles will be redone.

The vertical deviation of the grout lines from the plumb line ranges between 0.7° and 1.2°. I am attaching a photo. Unfortunately, the tiles are very "colorless," so the photo is not very impressive.

With a property developer, the house is not yours until handover. They can even remove you from the construction site.

Wow... learned something new again.
Yesterday we had our first "key handover," even if it was just for the side door of the garage ^^

Angle deviations of 6 mm per meter (0.24 inches per foot) are acceptable. Use a long spirit level to measure. If the deviation exceeds 6 mm per meter (0.24 inches per foot) over 1 meter (3.3 feet), report the defect in writing to the site manager.

The problem is probably the "rounded corners," which make a horizontal joint more challenging. Tile spacers don’t help much in this case.
