Construction defects do not always break an explicit standard or the apartment's technical specification, yet they can still count as a "non-conformity" that the law holds the contractor responsible for.
This category covers flaws that come from careless execution of some element in the apartment: aesthetic defects. Repairing them is often minor and easy, but they can still be a real psychological nuisance for residents.
These defects will not put anyone in danger, are not prone to getting worse over time, and rarely hurt the apartment's value, but especially in a new apartment they can seriously dent how satisfied residents feel.

- Flooring with uneven tile shades
- Small hairline cracks in the walls

- Flooring laid slightly out of level, within standard, but visible to the eye
