What should I do if I encounter unreasonable charges from the decoration company?

There are too many decoration companies, but more than half of them are pits. After all, most owners just need priority, and may decorate this time for a lifetime, which is in line with the mentality of a commercial pit. In this environment, the owners at the bottom of the food chain have no right to control and speak. Decorative addition is only one manifestation of this relationship.

As the top of the food chain, the company takes away most of the decoration benefits, leaving the leftovers to the foreman. During the construction period of at least two or three months, in addition to the labor costs of workers and their own travel expenses, we have to work hard to supervise the construction, and finally the rest of the money can only barely starve to death. Think about the rent, utilities, wife and children. What should I do? As employees at the bottom of the industrial chain, they should learn to make use of the established environment given by the company and find ways to make some money.

For example: "The ceiling designed by the designer is not good. Judging from my more than ten years of construction experience, it must be ugly. I suggest that we change it one way or another. Although it cost hundreds more, the effect is much better. " "I think the quality of these hardware sent by the company is not very good, and it is easy to break down. I know a good brand, and acquaintances can get cheap. "

But after all, these are petty profits, which can't satisfy the appetite of some foremen, who have to negotiate with the company. The company either took the money, left me alone and let me go. Or, I will open up all my interests and give me a reasonable excuse to increase my income. For example, "the company quoted the price of 3m floor cabinets and 1m hanging cabinets according to the package. But the owner's house actually has a 4-meter basement and a 2-meter hanging cabinet. Once these details are ignored, the foreman's chance comes. You can't do this extra, but the extra price is twice the normal market price. "

This is just from the foreman's point of view. But you should put yourself in others' shoes. You will be in charge of a construction site wholeheartedly for three months. Get up early and get greedy every day, and all kinds of emergencies need to be solved. The income is counted as coolies on the construction sites that you can't control. What would you think?

Increasing the number of projects makes the owners dissatisfied, and also makes many people wary of the decoration industry. But now it has become a hidden rule in the industry, and everyone does not win the market by how to do well and accumulate word of mouth. But thinking about how to extract more benefits from every owner.

The most common situation of arbitrary charges;

(1) Before signing the contract, the decoration company did not clearly report the price of water and circuit renovation, and did not distinguish the concealed pipes, but the final settlement was the highest price;

(2) Or in the water and circuit reconstruction construction, deliberately extend the length of water and circuit pipelines, thus suffering additional losses.

Therefore, when looking at the quotation, we need to pay attention to the integrity of the project, the accuracy of the quantity, and the consistency of the brand and model.

Water and electricity quotation with decoration

Generally, it includes slotting fee, box installation fee, pipe arrangement fee, strong and weak box reconstruction fee and slot sealing fee.

A. Slotting fee quotation generally doesn't mention any fee standard except the different fee standards for different walls, which makes it possible for us to generate additional fees.

B. The difference may be a little big whether calculated according to the actual number of slots or the number of conduits in the slots. In general, according to the number of pipes in the trench, the number is at least twice as much as the actual trench.

C does the cable box installation fee include the slotting fee for the card holder? If not, how is it calculated?

D. Drainage pipes include water pipes and electric pipes. The most important problem is the calculation method of drainage pipe, whether it is calculated by outlet, area or meter. The cost of cable arrangement is a common problem in quotation, and the unit price of auxiliary materials is the focus.

E. Whether the renovation cost of strong and weak electricity boxes is complete, such as whether the air switch is charged, is also a secret cost of many decoration companies.

Pay attention to verify the "subtraction" in the decoration project.

Consumers are generally interested in carpentry, bricklaying and oilmen.

Noteworthy projects are closely supervised, but little is known about concealed works and some details.

We can't tell you why when the water renovation, waterproof and leak-proof projects, strong electricity and weak electricity renovation, air conditioning pipelines and other projects are accepted.

Another example is that half of our walls have to be painted with two bottom surfaces and one surface, but the construction team only painted them once. On the surface, there was nothing wrong, but in fact, the technical standards were lowered. After a long time, problems began to arise.

Therefore, the concealed work is definitely worth noting in the decoration project!

Pay attention to verify the "itemized calculation" in the decoration quotation.

Some companies will randomly decompose a single project into multiple sub-projects and quote prices for each sub-project. The decoration company will increase the unit price in these sub-items, so the total price will increase unconsciously. As our decoration, Xiao Bai is absolutely blind. Since you can't recognize anything wrong, you can only pay.

High-energy early warning, this kind of itemized pricing is easy to repeat billing. Especially if the decoration company starts to give you a discount without chatting, be vigilant and be careful of the additional items behind. When the time comes, it will all start, so we can only do it bravely, and the extra expenses can only be borne by the owner.

So don't blindly look at quotations and discounts, pay more attention to the number of projects!
