Oh dear... at times it sounded like things were progressing well. But there is still a lot of chaos. Is at least your own construction manager able to get the chaos under control?

Regarding: Sound insulation: Drywall construction can also be done accordingly, no problem: for example, multiple layers of boards on both sides and especially dense mineral wool instead of glass wool in between.

A solid wall is not automatically good at sound insulation: the best example are non-load-bearing 11.5 cm interior walls, which are not allowed to bear any load... therefore they end a few centimeters below the ceiling, which is then somehow stuffed... or not: "the plasterer will do it" yeah right, whoever believes that: the plasterer just plastered up to the top and that's it. In the end, you do have a solid wall, but soundproofing = zero, because between the wall and the ceiling there is nothing but an acrylic joint on each side. Any drywall is better there.

The company has poured the base slab and the WU basement. If they didn’t have any approval for that, I’m really getting worried. The construction manager is good, he constantly contacts the main contractor, but the contractor doesn’t respond. The construction manager is on site at least once a day, the main contractor at most once a week.

The partition wall should be airtight and resistant to driving rain so that the drywall does not start to mold. How wide is the gap and how is this ensured? The partition wall must also necessarily be constructed as a fire protection wall.

There are requirements concerning soundproofing. Between two independent residential units, the requirements are even higher! That is a matter for your building experts. I think even sand-lime brick has to be used. "The general contractor looked at it and says the wall is too heavy" -> Wow, that’s creepy o_O
