We did quickly view the job a few weeks ago at night but today we've spotted some absolutely shocking workmanship that wasn't immediately evident on measuring up to quote.
The kitchen units and worktop sit almost an inch off the wall in places, the carcasses aren't even fixed to the wall and some aren't fixed to the worktop, the whole 4m run is free to pivot against the high spots on the wall. The sink is fitted and plumbed in. The stop cock is tight up against one of the legs on the back of a unit. The pipework is all speedfit.
The bathroom and some bits of the kitchen have been cladded in some pvc cladding, nothing lines up with the cladding, the pics will show this better than words. The sink drain pipe is siliconed on a join at a funny angle and surprisingly doesn't drain properly. The shower cubicle is spaced off the wall to allow pipe runs.
When I mentioned all this to my client they explained it was there nephew who had done it and he lived 90 miles away and it had taken him a year to get to this stage.
I'll let the pics do the talking.
some actually stay to continue the misery. It will be the same Iam sure in the Uk and other countries, the main thing here is there is no building control, just get your plans passed and build, you are supposed to tell them when its done, especially "New Builds," so they can check its up to the latest thermal standard, but if you dont tell them, because it costs money and they then tell the tax office so you have to pay tax etc, nobody checks yet 
This may change this year if you leave the EU.
