Hello,
after the tiling work was completed, we walked through the house and were a bit surprised by some issues.
Now we are not sure if we are just being picky or if the work was really done carelessly. Are these defects fixable and should they be raised with the tiler?
These corner cubes are mostly installed at an angle.
One rail in the photos is also slightly twisted. The grout joints are not parallel in a few places.
And in the last photo, isn’t an internal corner supposed to be mitered?

Thanks for all the feedback.
Tomorrow, I’ll go through everything with a tiler we know to get some expert advice. After that, I plan to talk with our site manager since the tiler is no longer at the construction site.
Our building inspector said he would address this during the final inspection.
I’m still unsure which is the better approach. Should I contact the site manager next, since he is on site these days, or would sending photos to the tiler along with a phone call be the right way to go?
Actually, the site manager is the appropriate contact for this, right?

Isn’t the construction manager the right person for this?You can bring up the topic in any conversation—this way, the issue gradually gets addressed. The “wrong person” will reveal themselves; in the end, the manager is always the one who counts. Stay polite, praise what is good, and address what needs improvement. Be clear, use “I” statements, and avoid accusatory language. Prepare a path for your counterpart and let them come up with the idea to follow it with you. Be clear about your negotiation goals; otherwise, nothing will come of it.
The walk-in shower is positioned in such a way that water might possibly get onto this shelf.
I think the surface should simply slope away from the wall rather than towards it, or at least be level. This applies to any shelf in the bathroom, including a shelf by the washbasin, right?
