Default Moisture on outside walls

Call the builder back to finish the job right and put in the missing
insulation. And with a screw up like that, better have the house
inspected to see what other corners he cut and hid. And while you are
at it, retain a really mean lawyer, because you will need one.
Meanwhile, start taking photos of all the condensation and other
suspicious signs that all is not as it should be. Good luck.
