So just quickly I am not looking for technical advice on my problem. Basically we were supposed to have a clean loop system of pex in our slab, the bathrooms are taking over 2 minutes to get cold water too because of some recirc pump issue(again, not looking to talk about my plumbing).

My question is this: Both the builder and the plumbers admit they messed up with the long run. Their solution is to run a pex line in the attic(the house is done btw and lived in), and wrap it with heat tape. Should I ask for compensation due to the fact that I paid for a clean system in the slab that just worked and now I have to deal with pex potentially freezing(very cold climate) and janky heat tape on a battery? I now must also deal with explaining this in terms of resale value to anyone that my plumbing is a joke and have fun with the heat tape battery and praying your pex doesnt freeze because my builder was an idiot.

Should I take them to court and demand compensation for screwing this up. Is it enough that they "fix" it by doing, what I consider to be, this really stupid solution of running pex and heat tape in the attic after the fact?

You won't get any help in court, especially when the builder and plumber offer to re-do the plumbing line.
Plumbing lines in attics are common practice FYI.

Understandably, you're frustrated with the situation and concerned about potential resale value. Before jumping into legal action, consider a few things. Firstly, try having an open conversation with the builder and plumbers. Express your concerns and see if they can provide a more satisfactory solution. They may be willing to compensate you in some way. Secondly, think about the time, effort, and cost involved in pursuing legal action. Also, consider getting a professional opinion from a lawyer like https://www.familienrecht-ratgeber.com/de/scheidungsanwalt/fachanwalt-scheidung-muenchen.html/.
