Didn't click all of them. Generally, I think you are being nit picky.

Actually, I disagree with David. It is your hard earned money and you are funding the project. The centering can almost 100% be done if the contractor takes time. I have outlets that are not centered under my living room windows, a hallway light not centered, etc. Ultimately, I had to fire my last contractor before my house was finished. The new contractor comes in and is furious that stuff was not lined up. It all depends on what contractor you get and the pride they take in their work. Does this cause issues with it functioning, no, but it is not ascetically pleasing. I would keep on your contractor and see what can be done to remedy. It will not be easy because the drywall is already installed.

I agree with David some of that is nit picking. If you are the builder or this is a truly custom and you want this fixed time to stop them now.

- The ceiling Electrical off center: most of the time there are joists in the way or electrician wants to use plastic blue electrical box instead of fan hangers that allow for the exact positioning.

- 6" Can lights: it is difficult to get them right and sometimes drywallers move them slightly. We run a red string to hang them and then a laser to get them 100% correct. Construction manager assistant usually get to verify.

- Brick patch: looks good to me, but I could be blind. You want the mortar to be the exact same thickness as the rest of the house top and bottom of this patch, and the exact same color.

- Tub. I used to tape a cardboard over the tub after install. Some contractors pour energy drinks, water, wash equipment and yeah .. Typically the cleaning crew is coming...

- Rough plumber: somehow he did not see the tub? or something

Is this a custom build or a tract home?

@Mark Bischak, Architect It is a tract home. Local builder though.

Normally there is a wider range of acceptable construction quality in the different types of construction delivery. I am sure there are some people out there building a new home that wish they had construction quality as good as yours.

They don't use the backer board in the shower? Does it look like regular sheetrock is being used with regular tape?

@BT

Here is a better pic of the brick on side of house issue. The old hole at the stop they just simply filled with mortar. The new hole they stuck a new brick in just the broken area instead of replacing both bricks. There is another hole in the bottom that they just filled with mortar.: https://imgur.com/a/mwbnmfP

I took extensive photos before the drywall was put up. Here are the pics showing the light sockets. It appears to me there was nothing hindering the ability to center them properly. Please enlighten me if I am wrong: https://imgur.com/a/4WVc0cx

This is all acceptable for the home you are building. Even then some of it is too picky. On our custom build we have a few lights not centred due to joists. We have a couple lights that got placed to high etc.

What does your lighting plan say? Does it show where everything is supposed to be laid out clearly? If so feel free to go back and show them the errors. If not what are you basing your comments on where the lights etc should be on?

I see where you are coming from on the lights. This is just bad measuring/laziness. The brick work is lazy patch work as well. Sometimes I noticed during my build, that shortcuts and double checking did not happen. I had rooms that were not the size they originally were supposed to be. That was a big issue, but I kept my measuring tape on me when I would check on the framing after hours. Two walls had to be moved in my build, but I caught it soon enough. Contractors like to work fast and juggle multiple jobs. It’s best to check everything they do. Just be more cautious checking the finish work. I found a lot that I had to personally fix myself. I am just trying to give you guidance from a person who is not a contractor. Just on the receiving end as yourself.

@WestCoast Hopeful, You can see here it doesn't appear that there was anything blocking the lights being centered properly. https://imgur.com/a/4WVc0cx

The sitting area along with the two canned lights were upgrades and we chose exactly were to place them. We arent complaining that they are not in the exact, however, they should have at least been centered relative to the walls on the side.

The canned shower lights were standard and were marked on the lighting map(they were centered)

The dining room and breakfast area lights are not mapped out, but isn't it pretty obvious that they should be centered in the room? Would be extremely odd having to choose either having our table aligned with the room or directly under the light.

Without a lighting plan I think you are out of luck. You assumed one thing and are unhappy with the result but didn’t communicate what you wanted in any written way to the builder. I see zero chance of this being changed in a tract home.

If this is a tract home, who currently owns the land and construction? Do you own it? Does the builder own it until substantial completion and turnover to you?

If it's the latter case, check the wording in your construction contract. In many cases, tract homes under construction are owned by the builder/developer and they are able to make reasonable adjustments to the plans and specifications during construction.

In such cases, the owner has little leverage for changes/adjustments except the good will of the builder.

Good luck!

@User Which is the waterproofing issue you are referring to?

@HU-558947983 That one brick needs to be removed and re-patched. Pretty common repair.

Green board not desirable but for tract builder .. pretty common. As long as they are not going to tile it...

I don't agree that this is typical tract home quality. I built a tract home and all my can lights are 100% centered and lined up. I'd raise this issue with the builder and see what they say.

@User Green board in wet areas has been against code for quite a long time.

True, that green board should never be used in the wet areas - saying this I do not know if he has a shower enclosure. If they do - it is a damp area. One CAN use green board in the damp area.
