Q2 Plaster cracks / minor defects - is this a defect or tolerable?

We do not need to break out into an argument here, but:

A building can always settle, and the loads on the masonry resulting from the deflection of the ceiling can (should not but can) lead to crack formation. In this case, as described above, it is a shrinkage crack, not a settlement crack. I just wanted to show the questioner all his possibilities.

This crack formation is caused by incorrect processing or improper after-treatment such as premature drafts as described above. Yes, as I also described, a so-called gypsum mark is of no use there. Of course, these cracks need to be addressed.

Regarding dents in the plaster, your statement about protecting the work is a bit theoretical. The plasterer cannot protect his work from the carelessness of the other tradesmen. Therefore, the painter will end up covering it up; this service is usually included in the painter’s scope of work.

So nothing stated above is nonsense. If it is still disputed whether the building settles or whether there is deflection of components, I would like to see a structural analysis where the maximum allowable deflection of a bending-loaded component in state II is 0.0 mm.

Glad to continue in a factual tone,

Until then,

Kindest regards

Hello, you were very satisfied with this company as can be read in your [baubericht], and now you have doubts after all. Interesting.

Hello, you were very satisfied with this company as can be read in your construction report, and now you have doubts. Interesting.

And why are you bringing up a week-old thread with such a post again? Were you the cleaner?

Funny. You can be very satisfied with a company even if not everything went perfectly, right? On which construction site does everything run perfectly...^^

Ok, to clarify this properly once again. This thread here is really ancient. And I find doubt perfectly normal for a client who puts so much money on the table. You should definitely look at what you’re getting. So I asked here, shortly after the plastering, whether the quality was adequate for Q2. There were already divided opinions about that here. A while later, I walked through the house with our painter and asked him for his assessment. Painting work is done by us ourselves; we had hired the painter ourselves, so he had no reason to defend our builder. Besides, he had seen the whole house, not just 2 phone photos. And he told us that he finds the plaster very decent for Q2. I showed him the cracks; he said it was nothing serious and that he would fill them during his work and that would be fine. That settled the matter for me. I only wrote the construction report mentioned here several weeks later. So everything fits together logically.

I don't even think you have to justify yourself you asked completely normally here and didn't step on anyone's toes. But still nice to read that everything went well from here on
