Trivselhus says they always place the terrace flush with the facade, something I hadn't thought about until the inspector made us aware that it's quite a lousy solution? Poor ventilation, water will bounce up on the facade when it rains, and it's completely impossible to paint the ends of the wooden facade (not yet finish-coated). Thoughts on this?

Close-up of a terrace built against a house facade showing potential issues with ventilation, water splashback, and painting accessibility. Terrace decking placed directly against a painted wooden facade, showing potential issues with ventilation and water splashing. Wooden terrace connected to a white wooden facade, highlighting potential issues like poor ventilation and water damage as discussed in the post. Decking closely aligned with house facade, showing potential issues for ventilation and water splashback, unfinished wood ends visible.
 
The water will bounce up even if there was a gap against the phase.

However, it is not at all good that the facade is not fully painted; the panel board that has the decking against it will need to be replaced in a few years.

The construction "dikt an" against the facade is unfortunately often used; have they straightened the screw holes into the facade, the ones holding the nearest rule? There is a risk that moisture will creep in if the screws are not retightened when the pressure-treated rule dries.

Otherwise, it looks like most others do, a little wrong in other words.

Now it seems like the lower panel ends exactly at the foundation level, is that correct?

The facade is pre-primed but should be finished within 6-8 months according to the standard. However, about every other board in the decking will need to be unscrewed if you want to get access to paint.
 
I always leave an air gap so the panel stays drier. I also usually place a board along the facade that is easy to remove when the house needs to be repainted.

Placing the deck flush against the facade significantly shortens its lifespan.
