 For example, I can see 1 thing in those photos that should of failed building control inspections all be it a very minor point.

I'm intrigued?

You've got halogen bulbs in 1 of them photos. All pendants in a new build should be energy saving lamps with a G24 (think it's G24?) fitting so you can't use old halogen bulbs. Also, the door to the second floor (your bedroom I assume? Isn't a fire do although there could be a reason for that.
