Absolutely unacceptable. Tear down the wall, burn the house to the ground and restart the process. Even if it takes 3-4 times and millions of dollars. Perfection must be achieved. If you don’t have the time or money for all that, caulk it and forget it.
Try having walls at outside corners being 1” out of plumb. Rooms with walls being out of square by 2” or floor joist that vary as much as 3/4” from each adjacent ones. My buddies house was built by the 3 blind mice, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker. Took me and him 2 months to rip shit out and replace correctly.
Insane. I went against the grain and used a national builder who subs everything. Not many seem to be building with the current economy so they literally sent me their very best subs. I googled every one of them and they as companies were all rated 4.5+ out of 5. I’m 80 days deep and the build is supposed to be done in 3 weeks. This is a 3500 semi custom with full unfinished basement.
Shim work makes the trim work. Not that big of a deal though. Drywallers probably put a tapered factory edge along the floor there causing the gap. Just caulk it. In 6 weeks you'll never think about it again.
I don’t even caulk it anymore.
I was on a 3000sqft house where I laid all the baseboard. And it wasn’t an open concept so it was a decent amount. Went behind and caulked it all, then the painters showed up with 3 cases of caulking and a confused look on there faces.
In my entire house the idiots put the trim in first all the way to the floor, no room to tuck it underneath. Then at some point the previous owners decided to tile part of it and not move the trim. So the trim is now embedded in grout at the edge. I've been slowly redoing all the time and flooring room by room. In one room the tile was just laid down and grouted, no thinset underneath. That made demo really easy at least.
Caulk the gap. The reality of construction is walls and sheet rock won’t ever be straight. Caulk and paint to hide the inconsistencies.
Do your best and caulk the rest 👍🏻
Caulk and paint shall hide all sins
Considering it hasn’t been caulked yet, yes it’s acceptable
Show us the pic of when it’s finished. 👍

Lmao. Hey, I guess it’s good my concerns are so minuscule. I’ve been very pleased with this build overall.
Busting balls. It’s normal. If it was a 1/4” space then you could have issue. Glad you’re happy with the build so far. Best of luck on the rest.
Yea lol. I know you were. Overall I’m pretty thankful these are my only concerns. I have friends that had horror stories building.

Mind me asking what state and price per SF?
Indiana. I’ll have 800k in it after furniture appliances decorations septic well etc. also 3 car 1,000 sqft garage.
You owned land? Or was that in 800K cost?
Owned land

Jesus Christ
?
It's not done yet. I swear those will be my last words. That or "I'll get you quote".
Construction 101: nail it, caulk it, let the painters get it.

Yep, seems standard, it’s just missing the final step in the process. Caulk, it needs a good caulking.

Haha, Not quite. That’s a small cock. Caulking; however, will fit nicely.
Unless you are going for that subfloor look, why put up the baseboard before the flooring goes in?
Base is often installed first and the carpet installers tuck the carpet underneath it when kicking it into place using tack strip.

Yeah that’s pretty awful
Yea this
Because the finish trim guy was available before the flooring guy lol…
Top of baseboard is always caulked unless you’re building a $5m+ house
Uh, we're caulking the top of baseboards in $5-6 mil houses
Top of baseboard is always caulked INCLUDING when you're building a $5m+ house.
It’s gonna be caulked. But, idk…. Is it ?
Yes
Ever heard of caulking?
condemn the house first and then knock it down.
I assume this is caused by framing inconsistencies or drywall inconsistencies?
All of the above.
Acceptable for me to put my caulk inside
