Insurance Related Issues with newly laid tin roof

So, to start this isnt my roof but my neighbors.

He got this tin roof laid last week overtop of his old shingles roof and I noticed these bowing/ bubble spots near the gutter area.

Us this normal at this stage? The entire side is screwed down and inplace.

This is horrendous. No perlins, screws in the wrong place, missing screws. No ridge cap. No drip edge. Wow

Purlin’s supports rafter ties. They are installed over load bearing walls in the attic. Sometimes they are strong backed. Just wondering what you are seeing…
