drywall problems in new house

Hi,

We just bought a new house in Waterloo and noticed a few problems in the drywall. I understand drywall will never be perfectly straight, however since I'm not sure what the tolerance level is, I am putting up a few pictures.

Picture 1,2, & 3 - Drywall above the main door above the level of the door bends away from the vertical (not straight all the way to the ceiling) Picture 3 - Crack has appeared in the drywall below the railing above the main entrance. Again this is because the drywall at the second level is breaking away from the vertical.

Hopefully someone can take a look and advise if I should:

1) Is this framing issue? 2) Make fuss over it and ask the builder to fix it. 3) Is it a lot of work for the builder given the height of the wall which extends to the second level. 4) To what extent is the builder liable and obliged to fix these issues.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed/take it up would be appreciated.

Thanks
