>>>Links: Decoration Contracts and Quotations "8 Big Notes"
Carefully check the project to eliminate unreasonable charges
In home decoration, home improvement companies often provide consumers with design proposals and a budget book before signing a contract. This budget book is the basis for negotiations between you and the home improvement company. If you can “get through†the budget and use it as a basis to negotiate with the home improvement company, it will not only save the decoration budget, but also prevent many constructions when signing the renovation contract. Problems.
The detailed budget corresponds to the drawings. Each project that will be drawn on the drawing sheet will be reflected in the budget book. The brand, model and type of the main material will also be identified on the drawings and budget book. You only need to know whether the home improvement company “overstated false leads†based on the actual area and the variety and price of the decorative materials. According to general engineering losses, 5% to 10% more of the decorative material is normal.
In addition, some projects that did not appear on the drawings, such as the transformation of the circuit, the dismantlement of lighting fixtures and sanitary ware, will also be reflected in the budget book. You can budget according to the specific size on the drawing.
It should be noted that the unit price in the budget book is the price plus the price after the work, and sometimes it is much worse than the actual price. You can ask the home improvement company about the pricing process.
Here are a few questions that you should pay special attention to when reviewing budget books:
1. Construction process
A lot of home improvement companies give consumers budget books with only simple project names, material types, prices and quantities, and there are no key process practices. You need to ask the designer to add process practices to the budget book, or elaborate on the process practices for each item in the budget. Because of the specific construction process and procedures, it directly affects the construction quality and cost of home improvement. There is a lot of uncertainties in the budget book without a process, which will cause many problems for the future construction and inspection. It will also give a handful of irregular home improvement companies to cut corners, and create a “convenience doorâ€.
2. Area calculation
Some home improvement companies will deliberately overstate the construction area in the budget to obtain higher profits. In particular, on the wall, a few home improvement companies will overstate the painting area. In addition, according to previous practice, the area of ​​doors and windows was calculated as 50% of the area covered by the painting. In fact, many families now pack doors and windows, and there is no need to brush around the doors and windows. However, some decoration companies still account for 50% or even 100% of the wall painting area.
3. Price factor
Many consumers only compare the prices on the budget book when choosing a home improvement company. Which is the lowest offer, let what to do. In fact, the price on the budget book is inseparable from the choice of materials and process. Simply comparing prices and choosing the lowest home improvement company will often bring irreparable losses to you. When you look at the quotation of the budget book, you must take into account the brand, model, and construction process of the material to get a more objective assessment.
4. Related costs
At the end of the budget, there will be items such as “mechanical wear and tearâ€, “taxes and fees†and “profitsâ€. These items are in fact unreasonable charges. "Mechanical wear and tear" is inevitable in the decoration. This cost has actually been incorporated into every project and should not be obtained from consumers. According to the principle of “who manages and who pays taxesâ€, the taxes of home improvement companies should not be paid by consumers. Calculating “profit†separately is a calculation method for the quotations of public building renovation. At present, home improvement companies have already included profits in each construction, so they should not be calculated again.
After some bargaining, you will be able to sign a home decoration project contract with the decoration company after your budget book is determined to be correct.
