as we all know, there are many traps in decoration, and sometimes it is really impossible to prevent them. From the contract to the material purchase and construction process, there are hidden secrets everywhere, not to mention the owner of the first decoration. Sometimes even if the decoration has been done once, it is still difficult to prevent it. Today, I will tell you about the hidden traps in the budget and the countermeasures
first, lower the price of a single item
for example, an owner knows the current unit price of floors and tiles, but he does not necessarily know the labor cost of floor installation and tiling, so he cut down the price of floors and tiles, but suffered a loss in labor cost
solution: look at the decoration quotation, don't just focus on the single price of a certain item, but combine the costs of labor, loss, machinery and other aspects as well as other items. If you find that a certain price is particularly low, then you have to review the prices of other items
second, some main materials for hard decoration are omitted
some main materials are deliberately omitted from the decoration quotation. The owner is attracted by this kind of quotation with reasonable overall price and signs up readily, but in the next decoration process, the owner will continue to pay out for these malicious forgetfulness of the decoration company
solution: villains first and gentlemen later. According to the design drawings, it is required to write clearly all the main materials in the decoration contract or agreement, and indicate whether the buyer is the decoration company or the owner himself. Generally, the main materials that are easy to be omitted are the materials used for corners, such as background walls and ceilings
third, blur the quality, grade and specification of the selected main materials
this is a trick commonly used by nonstandard decoration companies. Although it states that some materials are required and indicates the quantity of materials required, it does not state what quality, brand and specification materials are selected
solution: the decoration company is required to clearly mark the quality, grade, specification and model of the materials used on the budget table for future installation and use
fourth, steal the unit of measurement of materials
the owner rarely pays attention to the units on the quotation, and not knowing the different units means that the quotation figures deviate greatly. For example, it seems reasonable to customize a shoe cabinet. In fact, there is no explanation about the size of the shoe cabinet, leaving enough opportunities for later decorators to exploit loopholes
solution: in many projects, it is recommended to calculate according to the actual area, such as wardrobe, shoe cabinet, etc., and try not to use “ Item ” In order to avoid errors in the decoration process
fifth, the construction process is ambiguous
looking at the numbers without looking at the text description is a problem that most owners often make when looking at the quotation. They always feel that a digital error will cause losses, and the text description must be unable to do anything, which is not the case. Many construction projects may cause trouble as long as they miss a process
solution: learn more about decoration, understand the construction process standards of various projects about interior decoration, and regularly go to decorate new houses to understand the process, which has a certain preventive effect. It is best to hire a qualified, professional and stable decoration company to serve yourself
