New Home Construction

I purchased a new construction home from LG Family Homes in September 2018 and have found the quality of workmanship to be seriously delinquent. Unfortunately, most of this was not discovered until having lived in the home for the first few weeks. Throughout the home there are cracked or chipped floor tiles. Most of the electrical switches and outlets are crooked. One was not even attached properly to the wall and was only attached to the cover plate. The builder provided touch up paint which turned out to be the same color, but not the same finish, so now it looks like I have oil spots all over every wall. Almost every window and all of the baseboards had to be re-caulked and I've found places in the knockdown on the walls with large gashes. Master Bath: there are slight waves in the shower floor which are already causing the tiles to crack. We removed a couple of wall tiles to build a niche and found that cement board had not been mudded properly. When I did my first cleaning, I found several chipped and misaligned tiles and horrible grouting. There are corners where the floor tile does not meet the wall so they just added more grout. We removed the vanity lights to replace them and found they had not aligned the electrical boxes above the center of the sink and instead etched out the drywall to bury the electrical to hang the lights. There is paint spray all over the vanity and water damage under the sinks. Guest bath: the BathTub is full of scratches and knicks. Electrical Box not centered with Guest Bathroom Light Fixture. There is grout on ceiling and walls surrounding the tiles. There is paint spray all over the vanity and water damage under the sink as well as scratches on the vanity. Kitchen: There is paint spray all over the sides of the cabinets and water damage under the sink as well as sever significant scratches. The left hand side of stove is damaged and the dishwasher has dings/nicks. I've contacted the contractor about a few of these items but he says that since they passed the city inspection, they are just cosmetic and therefore my issue.
