Poor job on laminate flooring!

    Our builder just finished the laminate flooring on the newly constructed ground floor extension space 36sqm. Sadly, we found in certain 5-6 areas to be quite bouncy, when we walk on it! It has been installed over the concrete. The laminate depresses down and we could see and feel the movement when someone walks​ over it.
    We did express our concern, to the builder about this and he said that it is a normal phenomenon, and the laminate would become even as time goes by! Does anyone know what would be reason, and is it true what the builder say?
    Thanks

    We had one "bouncy" spot show up a few months after new laminate was laid. Builder came back and took a few bits of skirting board and architrave off and found a tight spot where one board of laminate was tight to the block wall. A quick trim with the saw and the floor is perfect again with no bounce.

    That's good he sorted out it quickly.
