What are the sayings and practices in the decoration industry that are only confidential to the owners and tacitly understood in their own industry?

What are the so-called "rules" in the decoration industry?

First, the low price lures the budget trap.

It is estimated that many owners have heard of this, but what kind of trap is this? Let me give you a few examples first:

1, a customer chose a decoration company with a loud advertisement. At the beginning, we have reminded customers of their usual tricks: attracting customers at low prices and adding items endlessly. Sure enough, just after the water and electricity were connected, various additions were encountered. The size of the "standard" bedside table can't fit, so they have to choose "non-standard" to add money; Sofa users don't like the "standard" style, so choose another one to add money; The kitchen sliding door "standard" is temporarily out of stock, so choose another one to add money. ...

2. At present, many companies in the decoration market take measures such as missing items and the discrepancy between the budgeted area and the actual construction area. Deceive the customer into signing the contract by lowering the quotation, and the real materials used for material acceptance are insufficient, so the fake materials are input when filling in the materials. ...

3. Please read the notes behind the budget item carefully. Many companies have buried holes in it. I met a company whose labor cost for opening concrete slots for line pipes is one meter 39 yuan, and the budget is only 40 meters. However, when the site opened more than 200 meters, the slotting alone increased by nearly 7,000 yuan! Generally, the slotting length of three ducts in the tank should be calculated according to two ducts, but the company noticed that the slotting length is calculated according to several ducts in the tank, so the unreasonable calculation method will increase a lot of expenses for customers!

4. At present, decoration companies trick customers into signing contracts with low quotations. After signing the contract, all kinds of added things emerge in an endless stream, such as the load-bearing strong hanging grid cloth without cracks, the insulation wall that should not be demolished, deliberately damaged when demolished, and redone in the later stage of insulation. The ceiling has the phenomenon of light steel keel and wood square mixing. Now the decoration company requires customers to pay more for the project. Generally, the project cost should be paid about 50% in advance, and the method of 33 1 is better.

A simple summary is that the quotation deliberately misses items or the quantity is reported less. Euphemistically called settlement by actual amount. We didn't lie to you, but it was actually a trap for the decoration company. The unit price is higher, the quantity is lower, and the total price is lower. Finally, the settlement will be made according to the actual amount. In fact, the cost is higher than other companies. (This is actually a tacit regulation of the decoration company. )

Second, cut corners (kickbacks get cramps ~)

I still continue to give a few examples:

1, the brick beam at the door, the budget is written in cement, and it will be said that cement is better than anything, but there is no brick beam at all in actual construction, just a few boards are used to deal with it, so cut corners! When painting the wall, it is calculated according to the construction area, and the area of doors and windows is not excluded, and the charge is repeated! Is to lie to you!

2. Some projects in the budget list of the decoration company are not included in the contract, which leads to too much increase in the later period. Regarding whether to hang grid cloth on the wall in the later period of painting construction, many decoration companies have not written into the contract (grid cloth must be hung on the newly built wall), and whether to install multi-channel control switches in the room during hydropower construction. Designers of study or tatami room decoration companies mostly muddle along by fooling around. Customers with high and low bunks suggest that there should be a main light switch for the upper and lower bunks.

3. In order to pursue profits, decoration companies will use the cheapest paint of the same brand, or even steal inferior paint and charge customers the price of the most expensive paint. Many decoration companies will tamper with cabinets or auxiliary materials that are most easily overlooked, such as keels and skirting lines!

4. When I check the woodworking construction on the spot now, I often find that only the keel inside the gypsum board partition wall is covered with a layer of gypsum board, and there is no 9-inch board lining inside. This kind of partition wall is so weak that it will damage the surface if you are not careful. The customer asked the project manager to add 9-inch boards, and the project manager said that this was not in the budget, so it was necessary to add money! According to the specification and practical requirements, it is necessary to have this, but the decoration company just doesn't ... And the bathroom tiles are really the brand written in the contract, not the model, but the low-priced products of the same brand are much cheaper, just because most customers don't check the model, which is blatant stealing! Therefore, everyone must pay attention to carefully checking and checking all the details before signing the contract, otherwise only themselves will suffer in the end.

Alas ... there are too many such examples. Many processes are concealed works. As long as customers don't come to see it, they will muddle along, because they can't open it at all. This is not because of the price, but because workers are greedy for convenience, how to do it is simple, and how to be afraid of trouble.

The other is material. I told you about the materials of big brands, but there are many models and series in them. Give you a big brand, but the worst model and series, because the average customer can't understand the mystery. The simplest example: "Gaode Waterproof" has more than a dozen models and prices.

1. Choose more decoration companies, not only depending on the price, but also on the details;

2. If the water level is set after the demolition, the construction price of hydropower shall be estimated, and the fluctuation shall not exceed10%;

3. To control the amount and timing of giving money, we must pay according to the construction progress. If there are any items that need to be rectified, we can postpone payment or pay after rectification; (After all, whoever has money has the final say! )

4. Main materials such as doors, cabinets, floors and ceilings. , must be docked with these manufacturers by foreman, to avoid size deviation when installing advocate material;

5. Collect more decoration knowledge before decoration, compare auxiliary materials, and consult several decoration companies and hidden projects such as water and electricity according to the actual situation of your home. Must be standardized, water and electricity are different slots, strong and weak current conduits are different slots, water and electricity walls have no horizontal slots, and ground conduits are fixed;
