Our construction manager has contacted us directly, and it will be replaced free of charge. However, I cannot say whether it is a gesture of goodwill or a warranty.
For your information to all, I spoke with a friend who is a construction manager at another construction company. He clearly says: tiles that crack due to the settling of the house are not covered by the warranty. He himself would only replace such things for a fee. Just like peeling wallpaper from the ceiling when the house settles within the first 2-3 years. Pretty harsh, I think!

Just like peeling wallpaper from the ceiling when the house settles within the first 2-3 years. Really brutal, I think!
Why brutal? That is the current dilemma. People want to move in quickly, draw down the loan, the developer gets the money and moves on. In the past, the house was allowed to breathe. Now it must be occupied within 4 months. I also had in the contract that hairline cracks up to xx mm are covered by the warranty. I also think that’s a stupid point. Next to the tile, the window sill probably has to be removed too. This will be expensive fun.

It’s true that everything happens so fast nowadays. Well, our construction company is now redoing everything again as a courtesy.
