The real owner revealed the things that the decoration company cut corners on (Part 1)

Renovation companies use many methods to cut corners and materials. Listen to five owners telling their personal experiences and expose the true face of the decoration company!

1. Advertising deception

Case: Mr. Wang bought a new house of 110 square meters in June. In order to move in before the year, Mr. Zhang started decorating it in July. When I was buying building materials, I was attracted by a decoration company with the slogan "48,800 yuan, 100 square meters of hardcover delivered to your home." When I found this decoration company, the staff vowed in the early stage that the decoration fee would only be 50,000 yuan, but they were charged during the settlement. More than 80,000 renovation costs.

Secret: "Low-price decoration", "free materials", "free design", these slogans that are extremely attractive to owners are the most commonly used means by decoration companies to attract customers, but the price charged after the decoration is really It is indeed completely inconsistent with the promise of fading out, and they will use various reasons to explain it, so that you have to pay.

Reminder: Renovation owners must not choose a decoration company based on low-price advertisements, but should choose a decoration company based on its qualifications, reputation, etc. When signing a decoration contract, you should check whether the construction period, materials, etc. are clearly marked.

2. Split quotation

Case: Many owners do not like "one-price" decoration, but too detailed decoration quotation may not be good. Mr. Wang was deeply affected by this. He felt that the fixed price was too decisive and seemed too high, so he found another decoration company with a very detailed and low-cost quotation. He felt that there would be no problem with such a detailed quotation, but in the end he had to pay the price. At that time, the price was 20,000 yuan more than the quoted price. When I hired a decoration company, they said that there were several additional fees, and I had to pay in the end.

Secret: Some decoration companies will give a particularly detailed quotation, breaking down every aspect of a project. For example, painting, walls, wardrobes, bookshelves, etc. can be done at once. In order to increase the project pricing, the painting project was divided into three items and charged three times. Wall projects are also often quoted by decoration companies in one item. Originally, shoveling the wall, drawing the cross-sectional area, scraping putty, applying primer, and topcoat can all be solved in one quote, but it needs to be broken down into several items. , each quote adds to the total price.

Reminder: In fact, you only need to inquire with several decoration companies to find out whether the decoration company's quotation is reasonable. A detailed quotation does not mean that the quotation is reasonable. The more detailed the quotation, the more headache it will make people look at, and it is not easy to detect if several items are missing. In this way, missing items will reduce the quotation, and additional items will inevitably be added during the decoration process. Finally, The total decoration cost will exceed the decoration budget by more than 20%. Don't think it's normal for decoration to go over budget. Generally, the difference between the final budget and the budget for decoration should be kept within 10%.
