Hello dear community,

We will receive our turnkey house in January. However, some tasks still need to be completed by ourselves. Our goal is to move in as quickly as possible. Among other things, the walls still need to be finished.
The walls will be delivered in Q2 quality by a reputable builder in our region. That means we hope it will actually be true Q2 quality in the end.
Now to my question: What are the options for painting the walls? I have often read that they need to be sanded first and then primed before painting. Has anyone had experience with this and can share how the results turned out? Or should we wallpaper directly? I assume that wallpapering by ourselves would involve significantly more work.

Thanks in advance
A

The agreed standard was Q2. My painter/wallpaper installer/all-rounder said the Q2 was done well and only needed sanding in a few spots. Then non-woven wallpaper was applied. Before that, a primer was used.

OK. May I ask what your procedure was before painting?
The painter did some filling and sanding, then applied two coats of paint. Done.
