There is certainly more botching by DIY enthusiasts than by craftsmen.
That is your opinion, which you can no more prove than I can prove mine:
My opinion is that a builder does many tasks on his own construction site much more neatly than a contractor under time pressure.
Example: Insulation of the floor under the underfloor heating. We laid the insulation around the pipes so meticulously precisely, a contractor simply cannot afford that. But we also took 2 weeks for it. And nobody needs to tell me that the apprentice/helper of a sanitary company can achieve the same quality in 2 days...
The same applies, by the way, to the insulation between the rafters with mineral wool.
Over both insulations (floor insulation and mineral wool), a foil or vapor barrier is quickly installed and no one can see any sloppy work anymore. I would never pay anyone to do such work in a way that is not done properly.
How do I come to the accusation that I cannot prove? 4 friends/family work in different companies and have told me how such work proceeds when carried out by them and who does it (apprentice etc.).
Certainly not all companies work like this, but nowadays it is certainly no exception!
