Not a single serious defect. Small things like exterior plaster applied twice due to bad weather and the chimney being shifted by 10 cm, so that the door frame in the basement had to be modified. The construction expert found not a single defect at the handover.

our defects in the construction were very manageable:

- two batches were used for the clinker. Fault of the supplier, as the bricklayers could not see it. The supplier paid unconditionally for the subsequent processing of the clinker bricks. looks good now. was purely a visual defect, technically everything fine. (we did not want a demolition, because that brings in the real problems. looks great now)
- on the upper floor we are missing a small corner in the masonry between two rooms, we are talking about 10x10cm in a corner. the bricklayer will quickly fix that.

overall, I can give the construction company a straight A for the execution two weeks before handover. we really found nothing to complain about. a few small things like a slightly twisted chimney in the masonry (92° instead of 90 degrees), 1-2 spots where the tile is 1-2 mm too "short" at the joints, which will eventually be covered with a silicone joint anyway, and a ventilation system cover in the floor cannot fully cover the tile edge (then there will be a stainless steel cover for free instead of the cheap plastic one, which covers more).

44000 euros damage on 1 house on average? that is a bit exaggerated or someone is just picking out the biggest damages.

we build without an expert, only get a few people with expertise from the family into the house. no one could find anything.

With us, the expert was already worth it at the foundation slab because he was on site at the right time, namely when the insulation was laid under the foundation slab. Due to various circumstances (errors by the draftsman, holiday season, etc.), the people on site only laid the insulation up to the frost protection edge and not above it. That was the biggest issue, which would have been difficult to detect and correct afterward. So far, only cosmetic defects and a few minor issues on the balcony.

The question is what exactly is included in the 44,000 euros.
For our neighboring bungalow, an expert was consulted afterwards because of unevenly plastered door and window frames. He then found that the separation tape between the plaster and the roof box was also missing.
I don't know how they settled it now, but correctly the carport should have been dismantled, the plaster partially removed, then new plaster applied, the carport reassembled, and the exterior areas restored.
That does not amount to 44,000 euros but for a small separation tape a lot of consequences.
