Please tell me the order in which to install walls, ceilings, floors, and wiring.
Note: In fact, anything from 20,000 to 150,000 is fine.
B. Decoration style, guide tips: European style (most people use it in the living room, dining room and master bedroom), Chinese style (suitable for the elderly/study), retro (divided into European style/Chinese retro: balcony, study, living room), simple (Highlighting economy, applicability, and can be re-arranged. Suitable for everyone), Arabic style (I’m afraid not many people can do it well, suitable for bathrooms). Choose your color (the color should be the same after the door is closed), lamps (don’t rush to buy)
c. Design: Find more designers (they will automatically find you, which is annoying to me. Now I think about it, hey, it’s free anyway) Strategy Tips: Look at the neighbor’s house (as a model) and decide the main plan yourself. The corridor ceiling can be well designed as a highlight (vault is recommended)! The kitchen and toilet doors should not face the main door (a Feng Shui taboo, use a partition to block it!). Although an open kitchen is nice, it can cause fumes. . . , do not pursue the number of rooms and make many pigeon cages, application is the first principle. If there is a study room, it must be designed as a comfortable guest space and equipped with an invisible exhaust fan (the hostess may ^_^!)
D. Construction team selection: Be sure to visit the work they have done project! Strategy Tip: The decoration company also subcontracts the project. . . (Believe me). The focus is on the contractor’s character/experience. (If necessary, I can introduce a good person. Since I am not a businessman, I won’t go into details here.)
E. Decoration price: It is recommended to accept itemized quotations. Reference price: 4,000 to 10,000 for pure decoration. Carpentry is calculated by the meter (100-200), and paint and ceramic tiles are calculated by the square meter (3-8). For wooden floor installation (10 to 25 yuan) and professional cabinets (700 to 1500 yuan), the project quantities should be calculated and based on the final actual situation. It is stated that no price increase will be allowed after completion!
f. Payment: 1/4 after entering the site, 1/4 twice during decoration, and 1/4 2 months after completion. The people who decorate will complain during the process, "There is no living expenses." You must understand that they are all doing karate, haha. The contract must state the completion date of each process. Half package/full package must list the material brand and quality. Declaring that unqualified materials are not returned but destroyed on site!
4. Dealing with the relationship during decoration:
A. With the property owner: a temporary peaceful settlement, (refer to 1.)
B. With the decoration association : If you hire a decoration company, you will ignore this matter. If you are DIYing, you can ask your neighbors to lend you access passes and materials entry passes. (I once picked one on the ground that worked!) Otherwise (refer to 1.) Or fight to the end! Cooperate with YZ, media, etc.
C. Moving with black: First of all, don’t be afraid. You can negotiate a reasonable price with them as YZ (they treat the decoration team very hard), and don’t believe that the black moving is a moving agreement with the manufacturer! Strategy Tips: 1. Find a friend from the police around you (or wear a skin) to say hello (the black porter is nicknamed monkey!) It may be unexpectedly convenient (really) 2. Find a friend from the underworld to say hello . 3. Pretending to be a police officer (^_^) 4. Playing with the time difference (18:00~8:00). Don'ts: 1. Looking for real estate agents, the real estate agents have been scared out of their wits. 2. If you have a head-on collision, decoration is a happy thing, and the bloodshed is not worth it. However, if you have a head-on collision, please tell us online and we will support you in various ways!
D. With family: This is very important, decoration is a happy thing. Express each family member's excitement and interest. When everyone is looking forward to it, it is the day when work starts. (Some families fail to pay attention to this and the result is that their wives and children are separated. Alas!) Pay attention to the reasonable allocation of labor, funds, and time.
E. With the decoration team: the relationship must be good and the supervision must be good. Don't be too weak to agree to all their requests. Don't be too tough and refuse to agree to their reasonable requests. Strategy tip: Guard your money!
F. Relations with neighbors: The relationship must be good. Strategy tips: Walk around, visit, and learn from each other. The benefits are huge. There will be unexpected gains (price, knowledge)
5. Purchasing decoration materials: There are so many JS nowadays, so be careful every step. If you suffer a loss, you should have the mentality of "there must be a loss". Decoration is a happy thing, so don't ruin your mood!
A. Buy ceramic tiles first: When buying, place 9 bricks on the ground and step on them to see if there is a bridge feeling. Come down and see if the seam is big.
Then stack 9 bricks, knock them together to see if they are of the same size, and then put them on the ground naturally and listen to the sound to determine whether the texture is uniform. After visiting several stores to get an idea of ??the thickness of the tiles, buy something thick enough. Strategy tip: Guard your money. Prices on Hannan South-North Street are higher. Don't go to the mall. You can go to the inside of Hanxi East-West Street (a warehouse-like place) to buy it. Look at the quality first (don’t listen to JS), then look at the brand, and then bargain. Check the price: vitrified tiles range from 50 to 120/mm. I think there is not much difference in quality, so I suggest we discuss the price at 60/mm. Wall tiles range from 15 to 40/mm, and you can get a satisfactory one for 35. The floor tiles must be thick enough, 25-55/mm, and you can get a satisfactory one at 45/mm. Smick and Mona Lisa have special prices for your reference. Strategy tip: The balcony should be paved with tiles (don’t forget, you can also lay pebbles in a certain area to massage the soles of your feet, which is cool.) A large area can be surrounded by black stones. The kitchen and toilet doors can be separated from the outside world with black stone. The bay window is paved with whole stone. Hidden places (such as cabinets and behind the bathtub) must be paved with ceramic tiles (don’t listen to the decoration masters), but you can buy 7 or 8 square meters of mixed tiles (4~6/mm). The waistline must be well matched and the size is correct (4~14/piece). For other tiles, buy 1 to 2 square meters more.
B. Electric wires, casings, video cables, audio cables, telephone wires, casings, circuit breakers, and network cables are the first to be purchased. Strategy tip: I am not opposed to buying wires from second factories, but everyone should look at the quality when buying wires. The color of the copper core should not be too light (contains other metals) and not too dark (recycled), and the color of the rubber should be clean and bright (not old stock). It is recommended that you do not buy sheathed wires, but buy two-color single-strand wires and yellow-green wires (grounding wires). It is strongly recommended to use 1.5 for light wires and 2.5 for others. DX, where the thickness of the copper core is not accurate, can be used as a substitute for the vernier ruler to prevent JS. Buy PVC casing from Lesso (very important, the same is true for sewer pipes). You must save DX and use other brands for the entire straight pipe. When measuring the length of use, try to use single-circuit lines and use less string lines (lifelong benefits). Reference price: Electrical wire 78 yuan/roll (98m) Video cable 120 yuan/roll (98m) Telephone line 30 yuan/roll (98m) Audio cable (gold and silver wire) casing 1.7/piece, network cable 350/box, air switch ( Recommend Tianjin Meilan Geran) 15~150/piece.
C. Wood: The last thing I want to talk about is this. Because quality and price vary greatly! Decoration masters mainly get kickbacks from it and paint. It is recommended that you negotiate the price yourself, and rely on the master when selecting materials (you DX probably don’t know the materials, XD I don’t have time to accompany you). Before negotiating the price, say to the master, "I won’t buy it here. I will buy it tomorrow. You can go back first!" Then bargain separately! (Stated that no kickback is required). I don’t object to everyone using Fuhan boards (95/sheet) as panels, but I firmly oppose using them as thinking boards and partitions! (Waste SB) Wood core board can be mixed with high-quality (40~60) times (20~40), 9mm board 25~40 selected, line 0.6~2.7/m, groove board (1.5~4.5/m ) must be a good thickened board! Lift the board and choose a good board (34~65). It should be smooth and less stuttering (unless you like the woody feel of stuttering!) Strategy tip: Lift one end of the board and shake it hard! A PASS that makes a cracking sound. The color of a batch of boards should be the same, and the fracture should be checked to see if the splicing is good or bad! . Open the lines one by one and look at them (you can bring a vernier to prevent JS). If a bundle of wooden cubes is 70% straight, that’s pretty good. Alas! Important tip: When buying inside the east-west street of Hanxi (a place like a warehouse), be sure to compare prices! And understand 30% of the quality before spending money! Don't be angry if you suffer a loss (90% of people suffer in this regard)
D. Sanitary ware: It is recommended that guest bathrooms use squat toilets. The main guard uses a sitting position. Due to different personal preferences, here is just a reminder: JS’s profits on sanitary ware (especially faucets) are so huge that you can’t even imagine! Pay attention to the location of drain pipes and traps before buying. Sanitary ware is divided into fine porcelain and coarse porcelain (cheap). It is recommended to install a mop pool (medium and large size). Generally, the discount is towards 7.5%. The dragon's head is discounted by 4.5%. Water pipes are divided into hot and cold water, Taurus is good!
E. Cement and sand: There are ghosts near Dajiang Garden. Strategy tip: You can buy it elsewhere and go upstairs once. Cement (14) and sand (2 yuan/bag or 50/car) buy 40 bags each, and give the extra to neighbors, ^_^. The quality of the cement should be good, and the viscosity can be tested in water.
F. Doors and locks: There are many oriental markets in Western Han Dynasty, and the price and quality vary greatly. Strategy Tip: You can score the groove on the wooden door to see if it is made of wood. Plastic steel door is heavier than material thickness! Reference price: wooden door 105~350, plastic steel door 115~180.
The brand door has good quality and high price (if you spend more than 1000, you will be ripped off). Handle lock 28~65 (on door) Ball lock 10~25 (toilet door) Kitchen door ball lock (10~25) Hinge 5~10 (optional) Thick stainless steel) door suction 8 to 25 (try to make the suction stronger).
G. Suspended ceiling: It is recommended to use plastic steel (16~30/mm) (plastic that can be pinched with fingers is not recommended) has many color combinations, long color retention, is easy to install, replace and clean, and is cheap. Some people prefer aluminum alloy (21~80/mm with keel) square buckles, optional pearlescent (50~80), the material should be thick!
H. Flooring: It is recommended to buy branded ones! (I have nothing to say) Strategy tip: Find someone to give you a discount! Find two boards against the wall at an angle of 60 degrees and let them be exposed to wind and rain to see how they fare.
I. Paint: It is recommended to buy authentic Shuanghu paint and latex paint (10,000 times). Reason: cheaper and better than Nippon Paint! (Trust me!) Strategy tip: Shuanghu’s direct sales point is not in Hanxi but in Hanyang! (I won’t go into detail, otherwise someone will say I am a JS broker) Reference price: paint 25/set of 0.98kg, latex paint (10,000 times higher than Nippon Paint grade 2 to 5 times) 200~240/big barrel.
J. Cabinets: DIY (cost 1,000 to 2,500) or professional cabinets. The key is to first check that the texture of the density board must be dense (it can hold screws for a long time) and the entire board must not be patched. The upper cabinet is narrow. The paint should be even and there is no color difference (I love the crystal plate). When painting on one side, pay attention to the seams. Every seam of color boards and crystal boards must be strictly inspected! JS only makes door panels, and the exposed side panels are ugly (please cover them! JS will ask you to pay more). Tips: Buy a stainless steel basket with a knotted plate (SB is plated and soldered). It looks great with glass and horizontal drawers! The hinges and handles should be good.
K. Lamps: JS’s profits on lamps are so huge that you can’t even imagine! Strategy Tip: If you go to Shundao Street, you can get 4.5 to 40% off the quoted price (ignore the marked price). It is recommended to buy at Evergreen Lighting. There are many varieties at low prices, and you can get 40% to 20% off the quoted price (ignore the marked price).
L. Electrical switch: Nothing more to say.
