It took half a year to shake the number, and it was shaken back and forth fifteen times. Xiaoshan ran all over the city. Banks line up to freeze and real estate lines up for registration. From being tired of running around, to being able to complete the application and operation of all application materials on the mobile phone, it can be regarded as witnessing the first half of Hangzhou's lottery policy. Exhausted, finally in the fifteenth time, shake to a relatively high cost-effective blank room! Happy!
There is some good news, which was delivered one year in advance. It's really gratifying to get rid of the property fee for one year. However, the delivery one year in advance also makes the renovation plan come one year in advance. Before I recover, I have to start preparing for the decoration. For the decoration of Xiaobai, I am extremely confused and have no bottom. Full package or half package? How to find the company? I heard that the decoration industry is very dark? But crustily skin of head, also have to drip down. Stumbling to the present, in addition to the basic completion of soft clothing, it is also a lot of bitter tears along the way.
In the process of stumbling, I also have many feelings. I hope to share my experience with you through this article, hoping to be helpful. One less pit is worth it.
This sharing does not analyze various materials and principles from a professional perspective, because the specific principles are not clear, which does not affect the decoration. Being familiar with the principle is really too exhausting. Mainly to share some analysis ideas of each link, so that the initial decoration can be a little reference.
Resource reserve:
Join various owner groups. Decoration mutual aid group. It's annoying, but resources are really bursting!
Acceptance of blank houses: I only share some experiences about the acceptance of blank houses.
Looking for a house inspector:
The day before the notice to close the house, I searched home inspector in a hurry on the Internet, and there were 1200. It may be that there are too many properties delivered at the same time to make an appointment. At this time, the owners actually appeared that many neighbors had free housing inspection resources, so they started the road of making free appointments for housing inspection. This is also the starting point for owners to build all kinds of crazy groups.
Tips: You don't need to buy a blank house for inspection. There should be many free resources recommended to join the owners in time. Even if you don't meet them, on the day of house inspection, you will find a decoration company with a keen sense of smell, which has been around the door of the community. Do you need a free room inspection? So even if you don't look for an inspection in advance, there will be many free resources to look for you on the day of closing the house, so as to win more opportunities for customers.
Developer's house inspection process:
It is not clear whether this process is common to all developers, but it should not be much different. First close the house, then accept it, then submit feedback, wait for the developer to repair it, and finally sign the acceptance. At the beginning, many people struggled again. They asked to sign before looking at the house. They're a little uncertain. Actually, they signed it. If there is a problem, the developer will arrange maintenance. (This depends on the reputation of the developer. Regarding signing, it is better to be cautious, so as not to sign, and the developer will no longer provide maintenance. )
Details of house inspection:
Empty drum, water and electricity (floor drain, toilet closed water test, normally takes two days, notify the downstairs to confirm that there is no water leakage. Otherwise, it is difficult to find out whether there are long cracks (caused by improper construction) after decoration. If the cracks are long and coherent, appearing in the corners of doors and windows, vertical walls and external walls, and your home is on the top floor, it will be more troublesome. Many of these cracks are called temperature cracks. The width of temperature cracks is different in different seasons and temperatures, and it changes periodically. The reason is that the structural design and structural measures of the building are improper, and it is difficult to really solve the problem by general rework and repair. ), whether there is water leakage (water leakage trace, ceiling. Quality of doors and windows (whether the glass is marked with 3C and whether the entrance door is broken). Focus on maintenance, review and completion
Conceive the blueprint for decoration:
The most important thing about a house is that it is comfortable to live in. What house is the most comfortable? High-grade building materials, expensive furniture, luxurious style and bright colors? The most comfortable house has three characteristics: 1. Smooth ventilation: 2. Good lighting: 3. Convenient moving line. Only by meeting these three conditions can it be called a "good pattern" and it will be really comfortable to live in it.
When I first started to prepare for the decoration, I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south and Europe, American and simple. Violent spots can find all kinds of cases, pictures, and organize pictures by space. When chatting with the designer in the future, you can also show him the photos directly, which can let the designer know your preferences quickly. This can better ensure that the designer designs the style you like. (Live well. Design book. Tik Tok。 Xiaohongshu can see good cases through various channels)
There is a famous saying in the decoration industry: "Function first, form second". The "function" here mainly refers to patterns and various small designs that can enhance the convenience of life.
Think about where you live now, and what designs or daily use make you feel inconvenient and uncomfortable. You can also list them one by one. When chatting with designers, you can test their experiences and ideas.
Looking for a decoration company, designer:
You can find a decoration company or a designer on the platform to share good cases. Designers will also have cooperative project managers. It is normal and practical to find a decoration company with a bigger brand. But the price is more expensive, and the quotations of some small decoration companies are really scary. 89 square all-inclusive 1.2 million. I don't believe it, but the neighbor feedback that has been completed is actually good. Therefore, if you are not in a hurry to decorate immediately, you can let your neighbors test the water first. Having a case around is the most reliable guarantee. Or the company decorated by friends, the project manager (a company, different designers and project managers, the degree of the person in charge is not the same, so it is very important to find the right company and the right person)
How to communicate with designers;
Know your needs in advance, as well as the legends collected before. Design inspiration (you can give a few suggestions to the designer, and the suggestion process can show how the designer thinks). Talk to several designers and let them analyze the advantages and disadvantages of their own apartment layout and how to use it. Between words, who makes you more tempted, he is right. Some designers only pay attention to the effect, and the content they talk about is formal, so how to look good and how to be atmospheric. There is also a family type with rich life experience. In the case, we will share what problems we will encounter in life and what small designs can be used to improve happiness. For example, does the sideboard need a sink? It's essential to be a western chef in the future. Should I add a downlight to the bay window? On a rainy night, turn on the downlight and feel a different atmosphere. The porch cabinet is hanging? Meet the feng shui needs of the elderly, can people feel the same sense of oppression up and down ...)
Combine the highlights of each designer's scheme, and then synthesize your most satisfactory scheme.
About the budget:
According to the category. Or through space. See the figure for details. When making a budget, you can first see how much money you can afford. When making a budget, appropriately reduce 30,000 to 50,000 yuan and make itemized arrangements. For example, if you have 350,000 items on hand that can be used for decoration, then you can make a budget according to 300,000 items, because there are too many unexpected items in this process. Originally, two thousand yuan was used to make a door. Maybe I saw someone who liked the narrow side, and the price doubled at once. Therefore, deducting a part as an increase in space can better control the budget.
How much can I arrange for each project? You can see if there are any friends who have just renovated recently. Then see if you can buy something better than your friend's, or ask your friend to evaluate what you bought. Set standards one by one. At this time, the standard is still inaccurate, but it can be used as an introduction. With your in-depth understanding of each sub-item, you will slowly revise your budget table and make it more accurate.
Once the budget table is determined, you need to make a guideline for yourself. If the actual project is much higher than the budget, ask yourself a few more questions. Is it worth it? If it matches, then add it. But at the same time, we can think about whether there are other places that can be reduced. For example, how much does it cost to buy a door more than the original budget, and can the tiles be slightly reduced to balance the overall budget?
Confirm the scheme and select the company:
How about the creativity and communication of designers?
A good designer can give you a lot of inspiration and suggestions for decoration. If you choose half a package, you can buy main materials, tiles and soft clothes later, which will be of great help.
How does the project manager communicate?
Be sure to communicate with the project manager before renovation to confirm that this project manager is reliable. Decoration deals with the project manager the most. Some minor design adjustments, the notification of the procurement time of the main materials, and the consultation of professional problems (whether there are drainage hidden dangers in the big bricks of the bathroom 60* 120, etc.). ) are confirmed with the project manager. If the project manager does not do his duty, you will find that the construction period has been changing, and the main materials have not been notified until today. The endless pits will make you feel really tired in the decoration.
Does the company have a wide range of optional materials?
If you choose all-inclusive, you need to confirm whether the company can choose enough main materials and whether the brand quality is reliable. Otherwise, in the subsequent renovation, I don't like the color of the tiles, and the style of the door is too ugly and uncomfortable. Of course, at this time, you can say, don't use the company's quotation, pay a certain penalty, and go outside to find your favorite tiles. However, the liquidated damages for such losses are not small.
How to pay?
It is best to leave some payment methods after the project is completed and accepted. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, you will have no initiative. Personally, there is not much difference in the previous payment methods.
The designer is satisfied, but the price is higher?
You can synchronize your favorite designer's creativity with a satisfactory decoration company.
What is word of mouth?
If a friend or neighbor has done it, you can get appropriate points.
I chose a personal designer for this decoration, and he directly gave me his budget, which increased a lot of trust whether I would choose him or not. If AAA chooses a small company, it is best to look at their company, storefront, exhibition hall, business license, registered capital and so on.
Sign the contract:
When signing a contract, we should pay attention to: signing subject, company qualification, agreed time limit for a project, materials used (brand. Model needs to be clear), the specific price details, construction drawings, generally speaking, the warranty period for home decoration and foundation installation is generally 2 years, and the warranty period for concealed works such as water and electricity is generally 5 to 10 years. ? There is also an agreed time limit for a project, otherwise the renovation will be delayed for half a year and ten months, and the loss will be great.
You can earn more at the end of the contract, usually 5%, depending on whether you can win 10% or more. It's best to wait until all the talks are finished, and then bring it up when the contract is about to be signed, so as to avoid increasing the cost from other places after the other party knows.
If you still feel uneasy, you can find an accompanying teacher through a third-party supervision platform. I also spent 600 yuan on my own decoration to find a signing teacher.
The master who accompanied the signing is more professional, and the second confirmation is made according to the drawings and quotations. Put forward several points with large discrepancy in quantity, and check with designers on site. Including the advice of the old mage Wall Treasure, in fact, it's useless except to look good. Whether the service content is agreed and the construction period is agreed. At the same time, it is also helpful to review the rationality of the design scheme. (The interface between latex paint and ceramic tile, if edged. Confirm whether there is joinery board in the middle of gypsum board wall and whether the washing line of dishwasher deodorizes. The master even helped me bargain with the designer, which really made me happy. Let me feel that this accompanying sign is really worth it!
After the contract is signed, the preparatory work in front is completed, and the torturous decoration really begins.
If someone likes it,
Update various budget tables later,
Some small designs at home that I think are more practical or satisfactory,
All kinds of pits encountered in the purchase and installation of various electrical appliances, all kinds of ideas for purchasing main materials, and avoiding pits to share.
