We moved into our brand new house in February. Ever since we've moved in we've had issues with the hot water coming out luke warm at times, or where there is a mixing valve needing to be set differently from day to day to achieve a comfortable hot water temperature. We've also had warm water from the cold taps. They finally think they've isolated the warm water from the cold taps issue and replaced 2 mixing valves.
However, currently in the baths with mixing valves(Kohler thermostatic) you need to put the temperature at the maximum hot and then nudge it down the tiniest bit to get a comfortable temperature. Anything else is too cold to shower or bathe. The plumber said this was normal. I'd like a second opinion.
Thanks for any help.

There is a circulation system on the hot. Unfortunately I was wrong, we still get warm on the cold side at the kitchen faucet. It's not as drastic, but the water will get noticeably warmer. Always in the afternoon.
The baths aren't consistent and the "comfortable" zone of the hot water is at around the 10 o'clock position some nights and the 9 o'clock position other nights.
"They" are the plumbers who worked with the builders. Sorry for the ambiguity.
They are still trying to figure out what's wrong and I'm looking for more ideas.
