New Build IR Testing RFC, can't find the issue

[Baker1988]

I really wouldn't worry about it all all reading are perfectly acceptable just record the results and move on to next job, or go for a pint.

Not too sure I'd be happy with that on a rewire or new install, damp from plaster or not.

Surely this comes from the experience of un-doing all the sockets , letting them breath , getting a much better reading .. logic .
( if worried about tracking damage - I can see AFDs turning up sooner)
Is this "Damp from New Build plaster" effect common only in hot weather ?

if it's a new build, it won't only be the plaster drying. the roof will leak. the plumbing willl leak, the plasterboard will be mouldy.
