I have been in my new house for approximately 3 months.
I've noticed in a few of the walls there are small bulges in the plasterboard, generally the size of about a 20c piece. None of them are in an area that could be affected by water.
It it worth raising these as issues with my builder or not? They don't overly bother me at the moment but I don't want them to get worse over time.

The bulge is from popping nail/screw. As the stud adhesive sets it shrinks and pulls plasterboard closer against timber. Adhesive dabs should be away from fixing or else nail/screw will pop out. It's builder's defect.
Thanks, I appreciate your comments
