What is the most important thing to pay attention to in a decoration project model room?

Haikou is so far away. I am in Shanghai. There are three types of decoration methods: work-in-charge

Work-in-charge means that the user buys the decoration materials themselves and the workers do the construction. , the labor fees are paid to the decoration company or construction team. If your situation meets the following points, you may consider using this method:

1. I have enough energy and time.

2. I am a good bargainer.

3. I am very familiar with the building materials market.

4. I have convenient transportation.

5. I have sufficient understanding of the quality, performance and price of materials.

6. I can accurately calculate consumables and discuss the amount of materials with the decoration company professionally.

7. My decoration project is relatively simple and I don’t need to purchase many decorative materials.

■Love Home Reminder:

1. Purchasing decorative materials by yourself requires a lot of energy and time. If you do not purchase them in time, you will easily miss work.

2. The quality of materials cannot be guaranteed. If you are not a real professional, you often have only a partial understanding of how to select decorative materials. You have little understanding of the texture and use of materials, and it is easy to buy low-quality and high-priced materials.

3. It belongs to retail, and the quantity of materials purchased is small. You cannot enjoy the wholesale price provided by the material store, and the price is often higher.

4. Once a quality problem occurs in a project, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is caused by process quality or material quality.

5. If the household head buys materials by himself, it is easy for workers to waste during construction.

6. If you hire a car to transport materials, the freight is high and the utilization rate of the car is low.

7. After the materials are left over, they cannot be processed by themselves, resulting in waste.

■Countermeasures:

1. Spend time to supplement material knowledge before starting.

2. Be patient when bargaining, and have corresponding experience reserves and psychological preparations.

3. When signing a contract, estimate the usage of various materials and make a list.

4. Only purchase 80% of the estimated usage of the material for the first time to avoid waste in repurchasing the quantity again.

Contracting work and materials

Contracting work and materials means entrusting the purchase of decorative materials to a decoration company, and the decoration company will uniformly report the material fees and labor costs.

This is a common practice among decoration companies, and it can save customers a lot of trouble. Formal decoration companies are very transparent. When they explain to customers, they will clearly list the texture, specifications, grades, prices, fees, and workmanship of various materials. In addition, decoration companies often deal with material suppliers and have their own fixed supply channels and corresponding inspection methods, so they rarely buy fake and shoddy materials. As far as suppliers are concerned, they will not easily sell unqualified decorative materials to decoration companies. Because decoration companies purchase commonly used materials in bulk, they can get lower prices.

If your situation meets the following points, you may consider using this method:

1. I am very busy at work and do not have enough time and energy to allocate to decoration.

2. I know nothing about decorative materials.

3. I hate going to the market the most.

4. My home is far away from the building materials market, and transportation is inconvenient.

5. I trust the decoration company I chose.

6. The decoration project of my home is very complicated and I need to purchase a lot of decorative materials.

■Love Home Reminder:

1. Save money when you can when purchasing materials. There are different grades of products for each material, and workers are likely to choose lower-priced similar products for you to replace what you requested.

2. Cut corners and materials during construction in order to save some money on materials and some man-hours.

■Countermeasures:

1. Try to find a large and well-known decoration company, and do not believe in "street advertisements".

2. All of the above mentioned are actually exploiting loopholes in the contract. The only way to deal with them is to write everything down in detail in the contract. Here we should not only state the brands and specifications of the required materials, but also pay special attention to the requirements for the decoration steps. For example, you can stipulate that lime should be shoveled before painting, paint should be applied five times, tiles should be soaked for 24 hours, etc.

Contracted auxiliary materials

Contracted auxiliary materials refer to the main decoration materials provided by the user, such as floor tiles, paint, glazed tiles, wallpaper, wooden floors, sanitary ware, etc. The decoration company is responsible for the decoration project Construction and procurement of auxiliary materials, such as cement, lime, sand, stone, etc. Users and decoration companies only settle labor costs, machinery usage fees, auxiliary material fees and corresponding indirect fees. Decoration companies can make profits in terms of labor costs, auxiliary material costs and indirect costs. Users can worry less about purchasing auxiliary materials.

If your situation meets the following points, you may consider using this method:

1. I have a certain ability to identify the main decorative materials.

2. I have some time and energy to purchase materials.

3. The construction is relatively simple and there are not many varieties of main decorative materials.

4. In short, my situation is somewhere between the first two situations.

■Aijia reminder:

1. The construction party purchased auxiliary materials and passed them off as good ones.

2. If the owner is not satisfied with the construction, the builder will say that it is due to the poor quality of the main materials purchased by the owner.

■Countermeasures:

Both of the above possible situations can be solved through strict material entry acceptance. The main materials purchased by the owner must be confirmed by the construction party before use; the auxiliary materials purchased by the construction party must be reviewed by the owner.

Experts give guidance and direct themselves

In addition to the conventional methods, there are also some people who know some architectural designers and designers engaged in construction and interior design, so they adopt the first Invite them to come over and take a look, come up with some professional opinions on the functional arrangement of the room, appropriate structural changes, placement of facilities and equipment, etc., draw a picture, and then find a construction team that has decorated the neighbors and colleagues to do the work. way.

The advantage of adopting this method is that the expert friends understand themselves and come up with solutions that they want. Of course, the key is that the construction team you find does not leave you midway, and is very considerate and understands the intentions of the experts.

Some of the "experienced people" have been very successful and successful, but not everyone is so lucky. The problems are reflected in the following aspects:

1. The experts produce the most complete drawings, but it is impossible to follow the construction closely. The workers do it according to their own understanding, which will inevitably lead to distortion.

2. Under normal circumstances, experts will give you a concept or overall plan to determine the style, color, space arrangement, etc. The grasp of details is generally not involved. However, these links are the most likely to cause problems.

3. Most of these decorations do not have an overall design plan. "The straw sandals are not the same, they look like they are made while making them." Whether they look like what you originally wanted depends on your luck.

Contracting work and materials will be the trend

Currently the most popular decoration method is contracting work and auxiliary materials. The main materials are purchased by the owners themselves. This is for peace of mind and is more cost-effective than all materials. Save some time and energy by buying your own. Decoration is not decoration after all, and most projects cannot be DIY. It is a bit ridiculous for the owners to go to the building materials market to buy the building materials needed for construction. It is a manifestation of imperfect services in the decoration industry. Industry insiders say that the use of contracting work and materials should be the development trend of the decoration industry, because decoration companies with formalized business practices, transparent prices, and excellent construction quality will win the trust of customers and save worry and effort with full entrustment.

If you are looking for an all-inclusive package, please note: The editor will explain it clearly to you all at once here.

A: Essentials.

All-inclusive requires them to have a standardized mechanism to show you. You need to trust them and negotiate a good punishment mechanism. These are the three most important points. If you grasp the essentials, you will not make a big mistake.

A: Decoration company

Since ancient times, there has been a saying: "Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods." How to compare? Compared to what? Comparison is the key to choosing a decoration company.

The first thing to consider is the designer. Interior design is the soul of the house decoration process. If you choose an experienced, dedicated and responsible designer to be your assistant in house decoration, you will get twice the result with half the effort. First of all, the designer must undergo systematic formal training and obtain a designer qualification certificate. The designer qualification certificate is issued by the Labor Bureau. Even designers who graduated from prestigious universities must obtain this certificate and hold the certificate to work. The designer certificate of the Labor Bureau is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced.

As long as you have received systematic training, you can take the junior designer qualification examination. To obtain the intermediate designer qualification, you must first obtain the junior qualification and then work for 2-3 years before you can take the assessment. In other words, as long as a junior designer has basic knowledge, To become an intermediate designer, you must not only have solid basic knowledge but also have rich design experience. To become a senior designer requires accumulated training over a long period of time. Excellent designers will communicate with you in depth and provide you with draft suggestions for reasonable space allocation and adjustment, production of all construction drawings, suggestions for material selection, suggestions for style and styling, suggestions for color matching, and suggestions for intelligent audio-visual and lighting networks. Suggestions on wiring, selection of lighting fixtures, selection of furniture, suggestions on fabric and soft furnishings, as well as inspection and explanation of the construction site.

The next step is to talk about how to choose a decoration company. There are now nearly 20,000 decoration companies in Shanghai, but there are less than 3,000 formal companies with construction qualifications. The media often reports that some decoration companies suddenly "evaporate" halfway through the construction, and some decoration companies use inferior and fake materials. After the decoration is completed, problems continue to occur and they have to find decoration companies for repairs. These informal companies either delay or hide, making users angry. , it is difficult to claim compensation for losses. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a regular and reliable decoration company! How to judge whether the decoration company you are negotiating with is a formal company? First of all, the decoration company should have the original industrial and commercial tax registration (you must ask the decoration company to produce the original industrial and commercial tax certificate, copies do not count) and then the decoration company should show the decoration and decoration industry association membership certificate and construction qualification certificate issued by the Shanghai Decoration and Decoration Association. (You must also see the original, and copies do not count.) The Decoration and Decoration Industry Association is the management unit of the decoration company. You can check the authenticity of the industry association membership card and construction qualification certificate with them (nowadays, counterfeit banknotes can be made, so make a fake certificate It’s even simpler) The inquiry phone number is 63743789 or 63743801, or you can log on to the official website of the industry association for inquiries.

To choose a good designer and decoration company, you need to compare their designs and budgets.

To compare designs, we need to compare whether the plans made by designers are reasonable and beautiful. Did the designer fully understand your needs? For example, when improving the house structure, did he understand the building structure of the house? Are there any load-bearing walls that cannot be changed? Did he fully consider some of your special needs? Do you have a comprehensive and complete idea on how to decorate this house to be renovated? You can feel this when talking to designers.

A: Budget

The most difficult thing to negotiate and compare with the decoration company is the budget, because the decoration company will set many traps here, so this is what we will introduce in detail here. Nowadays, the budget issued by decoration companies generally has two structures. One is to budget based on the variety, type, specification and quantity of materials used - the bill of materials style. Most of the companies that use this method are decorators affiliated with companies that deal in decoration materials. company.

With this kind of budgeting method, the decoration company will usually play tricks on the quantity and unit price. The decoration company will deliberately lower the quantity and raise the unit price. It is obvious that you need 10 woodworking boards to decorate your house. He insists on writing 8 pieces, so that the total budget price will be reduced, and the customer will be more likely to accept this price. When signing the contract, the decoration company will propose that many materials will be settled based on actual usage, which will cause the budget to appear priceless. It is very low, and the total cost will be much higher than the budget after the construction is completed. This is what is often said in the industry, "start low and go high." Therefore, when you get such budget sheets from different decoration companies, you must carefully compare the brand specifications, Quantity and unit price. In addition, because settlement is based on actual usage, workers will "waste" materials during the construction process, which is difficult for customers to control.

Another method of budgeting based on production projects is currently used by 95% of decoration companies - the project list method. The advantage of this kind of budget is that the decoration company can be very clear about the projects that need to be produced in your home. However, there are also many shortcomings. For example, the decoration company does not clearly write down the brand specifications of the materials used, purchases shoddy materials during decoration, deliberately omits construction projects, resulting in a low total budget price, and adds projects after construction to increase the price. For settlement costs, it will be estimated that the price of materials that the landlord wants to buy himself is deliberately low, causing the budgeted price to be low.

During the construction process, it was suggested that the landlord purchase it himself. In the end, when the landlord made the purchase, he discovered that he could not buy the ideal materials at the price determined by the decoration company. The purchase of the ideal materials resulted in a serious cost overrun. The decoration company had secretly included the auxiliary materials in the materials. The money has been earned. Therefore, this kind of budget must carefully check the construction project, material name, specifications and quantity.

If you DIY: For young families who have no experience in home decoration supervision, it is quite difficult to contract the work by themselves.

It requires a lot of time and energy to solve various practical problems during construction. In order to purchase materials, I have to travel around, arrange the progress of the project, and coordinate the relationship between workers and masters of various types of work. These are very hard jobs. Therefore, if you consider contracting your own work for home decoration, you must be fully mentally prepared.

If you do the decoration design yourself, then of course you have to solve the problems yourself during the construction; if you hire a designer to do the design, then if you encounter problems during the construction, you can ask the designer to help solve it. .

But because the construction is not contracted by the decoration company, the designer usually goes to the site to supervise the work at the beginning of each project, or only goes to the construction site once a week. The rest of the details depend entirely on Families who want to renovate should contact the designer themselves to solve the problem. Therefore, it is necessary to have a full understanding of the construction drawings and carefully discuss solutions with the designer once problems arise.

During construction, situations often occur that were not considered during the design. At this time, the designer's opinions must be sought and the design drawings must be revised. Since construction workers have very limited understanding of design drawings, they often like to adopt methods that save trouble and labor. Therefore, clarifying construction requirements to construction workers and strictly controlling quality have become major responsibilities for home decoration supervisors.

1. Find suitable construction workers

——How to find construction workers with strong sense of responsibility

First of all, you need to find suitable construction workers, usually Go to the professional labor market to search, which is the so-called decoration "guerrilla". Some decoration workers or "contractors" who have been engaged in home decoration all year round will be better than some home decoration companies in terms of reputation and construction skills (in fact, many home decoration company workers are also hired from here on a temporary basis).

The best way to find construction workers is to ask friends who have experience in supervising home renovations. You can visit a few residents who have completed renovations on site, and then learn about the level, work attitude and personality of the construction workers from your friends. Once you hire a construction worker, you need to trust him. But when it comes to payment, some "fallback options" should be left. That is to say, in addition to reasonable installment payments, a part of the balance must be left, and the balance must be paid after the decoration project is completed and the acceptance is passed. In this way, there will be no shortage of people to do the repair work during the final stages of construction.

In addition, you can also ask the contractor to recommend suitable construction personnel. For example, mud and water work is a major project in the early stages of renovation. The plastering project is very closely related to the demolition project and water and electricity installation, so you can ask the plasterer to introduce you to the demolition workers and plumbers. The advantage of this is that they already have experience in cooperation and have a tacit understanding of cooperation, which is conducive to the connection of projects. Once problems arise, it is easier to negotiate.

2. Go to the construction site every day

——How to ensure that the construction period is completed on time

The decoration period for a 100m2 house is about two Half a month. If you consider that emergencies during construction may extend the construction period, then three months may be the safest option.

How much time do you need to spend on the construction site every day when supervising work? Generally speaking, it takes at least half a day. The work to be done at the construction site includes: discussing the progress of the day's project with the construction personnel, correcting the construction errors of the previous day, and doing a good job in connecting the various projects. When leaving the construction site, there are still many things to do, such as purchasing various decoration materials or accessories. Only by completing these tasks properly can it be possible to ensure that the construction progress is completed on time.

3. Coordinate the work of various types of work

——Do a good job in the management of decoration construction projects

As mentioned before, decoration projects are linked one by one. It roughly includes demolition projects, mud works, water and electricity installation, aluminum alloy window installation, kitchen and bathroom equipment installation, carpentry, floor laying, painting and other projects. When decorating a home, you not only have to arrange the progress of each project yourself, but you also have to do a good job of connecting the projects.

There is a very close cooperative relationship between plasterers and plumbers, between plasterers and workers who make furniture, doors and windows, and even between plumbers and electricians and carpenters. Therefore, time arrangement, personnel scheduling and interpersonal coordination are particularly important. We must avoid the situation of "each doing his or her own thing and shirking responsibilities from each other". Of course, before construction, you must find a good worker and buy the necessary materials.

4. Demolition projects and cement works

——Make good connections between various types of decoration construction work

Before the demolition project starts, it is best to notify Make sure your neighbors are mentally prepared.

Demolition refers to removing unnecessary walls, such as some non-load-bearing partition walls. Before demolition, be sure to study the design drawings carefully and mark the construction site with a thick charcoal pen to indicate which wall should be demolished and which wall should be retained. The drawings drawn by designers are often very detailed. The workers may not be able to understand it, or they may not have the time to look carefully. If they are not careful, a wall that should not be demolished may have been demolished.

After the demolition project was completed, the mud and water work began. Before building a wall, a plasterer will lay out lines to determine the location of the wall. Determine the vertical and horizontal lines of the wall. At this time, when decorating a home, it is necessary to carefully check the design drawings to avoid errors. Otherwise, the walls that have been built will have to be knocked down and rebuilt, which will cause a waste of time and money.

After building the wall, the plasterer will apply cement on the brick surface and smooth it. The smoother the wall, the better, as this will affect the effect of future paint.

The next step is to install ceramic tiles and floor tiles. This is a delicate job of plaster work, and it pays attention to the meticulous and precise pasting. The patterns must be put together and the lines must be aligned. Additionally, in bathrooms or other areas with drainage holes, the floor tiles should have a slight slope. To facilitate drainage. A careful technician can make the floor tiles form an invisible inclination near the drainage hole, making drainage smooth.

The mud water project is closely related to other decoration projects. For example, if you need to make new door frames or door covers when building a wall, you must contact the carpenter in time.

It should be noted that after laying ceramic tiles and floor tiles and installing bathroom equipment, it is best to cover the surface with cardboard or plastic film to avoid being stained with dirt that is difficult to clean in subsequent projects. . Wait until the entire renovation project is completed before removing the cardboard and plastic film.

5. Installation of waterways, circuits and equipment

——Quality and safety are the most important

Household appliances and equipment in the home are becoming more and more advanced and sophisticated. Come more and more. From the laying of water pipes and wires at the beginning of the decoration to the installation of lighting fixtures at the end of the decoration, the work of plumbers and electricians runs throughout the entire construction project. Water and electricity installation is most closely related to mud and water engineering. Therefore, it is best to ask the plasterer to introduce the plumbers he is familiar with.

During decoration, water pipes and wires are usually buried in the wall. Once a problem occurs, the wall may need to be knocked open and reinstalled. Therefore, water and electricity installation must ensure quality.

If the ground is slightly raised during renovation, water pipes are usually installed below the ground. After the water pipe is connected, be sure to run the water for one day to check whether there is any leakage in the pipe. After confirming that there is no leakage problem, follow-up work can be carried out. Such as laying cement, tiles or floors. Home renovations should also record the location of water pipes. This way, it will be easier to check if there is a water leak.

More and more families like to place washing machines indoors. Therefore, the size, drainage and water inlet methods, and placement of the washing machine must be clearly explained in advance so that plumbers and electricians know what to do.

Most of the water and electricity installation work can be carried out at the same time as the cement and water works. As for the installation of lighting fixtures, it can be arranged at the final stage of the entire decoration project……………………

I won’t post it anymore, it’s so long, you can go to I Love Me’s house to see it for yourself.
