Ms. Wang recently planned to refurbish a new house that she had just bought. However, when she saw the company's decoration offer, she was blindsided: The same set of houses, the difference between the company's offer actually has 20,000 yuan!

How is this going? Too exaggerated?

In fact, for most homes that will be renovated, the quotations for the renovation projects are those they have never met before. For the quoted prices, they often do not know how to choose: is the more expensive the better? Or is it cheaper?

According to the fitting-out company, choosing a suitable decoration company is actually a matter of saying it is difficult or not. It is not easy to say that it is easy. How to maximize the cost performance, there are indeed some tricks to prevent fraud. Here are a few tips that I hope will help you in your discussion of the decoration offer.


Renovations are quoted on the basis of industry practice and the mentality of the owners. They are far from high or low.

Before answering Miss Wang's question, it is necessary to understand what the factors that determine the decoration price are:

Material price is the basis for quotation

One of the principles of adherence is that the material is scarce: materials that are far or scarce in origin are more expensive than materials in the real estate or common materials; the quality of the material itself is also one of the factors that determine the price, and those that are strong in texture, aging time Long is relatively expensive. On the contrary, it is relatively cheap. In addition, brands, brands, and reputable products or materials are certainly more expensive than those of unnamed small factories.

The quality of the process affects the final price

The process mentioned here refers to the construction level and production level of construction personnel. In the case of the same material, the craftsman's work directly affects the quality of the decoration. Good craftsmanship and well-trained construction staff naturally demand high prices. Therefore, in the face of price, it is necessary to ask the level and grade of construction personnel.

There is a lot of money for construction management

If a project does not have a good construction management personnel, even if there are good materials and good construction workers, there will be no high-quality projects. The construction process is complex, cross-operations of various types of work, and the sequence of processes are all crucial to ensure construction quality. It is necessary to spend more on formal decoration companies that have specialized personnel to manage construction. Therefore, construction management also affects prices.

Decoration company qualification is also a factor

Excellent decoration companies must have high qualifications and a certain scale, and various departments are fully equipped. In general, it must have an office, a design department, a project supervision department, a material support center, a finance department, and an audit department. All of these require a certain fee, and these costs will naturally be reflected in the price.

But apart from these most basic factors, the quotes from companies are different because there is still room for discussion, such as:

First, fuzzy design, probably estimated. Usually at the initial budget, most companies only quote a quoted price based on industry practice and the owner's mindset. As a wardrobe, A company quoted 620 yuan / square meter, B company quoted 720 yuan / square meter. It is very likely that the main structure of the company's closet is a 15 PCT board (the thinnest board), and even the inside of the cabinet is not affixed. The B company's 720 yuan/square meter is another approach, not the lower the price. The better.

Second, hide the project and create an illusion. At the beginning of the quotation, some companies will deliberately hide the items that should be done, attract the owners with lower prices, and then add them slowly after the start of the work, and tell you that all of them must be done.

Third, conceal the quantity. This approach is to report only a part of the total amount of projects under construction to the initial budgetary quotation, and then calculate the statistics at the time of settlement.

Fourth, separate quotes. If management fees are not mentioned during the initial budget quotation, wait until the contract is signed.

Therefore, it is not wise to choose a fitting company based on the quotation. For ubiquitous traps, the best way for lazy people is to choose one or two companies that are large-scale, credit-worthy, and can be seen on site, analyze, review, and then come up with a construction plan that makes you completely clear. The construction process, understanding the composition of the project price, and eventually negotiating a price that both parties can accept, this is certainly not wrong.

Seven tricks

● Xie Hengzeng (Business Director of Million Homeland Supervision Company)

1, first visit the market, have a general understanding of the decoration and building materials, and then bring the floor plan, please estimate the designer.

2. The items produced by the woodcraft must be plotted and clearly marked with dimensions, materials and practices.

3. For a project with a relatively high total quotation, you must ask why and examine the necessity of the project and the price of the material variety.

4, brush the wall and paving bricks, it is necessary to carefully indicate the practice.

5, hydropower project requires professional operation, may wish to separate construction. The transformation of the water circuit should be specific, the length should be accurate, and the project practice must be detailed so as not to increase the price midway.

6. The responsibility for the compensation caused by the decoration company should be clearly defined so as to avoid further increase in expenses.

7, ask professionals to review. However, from the perspective of the owners, professionals will also propose to increase environmental protection materials, which may increase the cost.

Five tactics to watch out for

Anti-detail price increase

In the audit quotations, it is necessary to pay attention to items such as brush coating and paving which have a large amount of work. If the unit price increases by one or two yuan, the entire construction cost will increase a lot. For example, in the 60-square-meter paving project, the price of a square meter will increase by 5 yuan per square meter, and the entire cost will increase by 300 yuan. For example, for a coating, a 100 square meter type of apartment brushing will generally be more than 300 square meters per square meter. 2 yuan, the cost will increase by 600 yuan.

Anti-midpoint addition

Some refurbishment companies have lower quotations at the initial stage, but increasing the number of projects during construction will make the overall cost still higher. For example, deliberately select low-grade products during quotation, and require replacement during construction; when quoting, the length of hydropower pipeline is deliberately calculated, and the demand is increased later. In this regard, the owner can write “supplementary terms” for “the difference between the required settlement items and budget items within 5%”.

Anti-material replacement

In material selection, it is necessary to indicate the names, brands, specifications, quality levels, unit prices, quantities, procurement locations, production dates, and shelf life of nine items in order to prevent the replacement of materials through the so-called “pillar replacement” during construction. In particular, projects for the supply and distribution of large core boards, paints, latex paints, ceramic tile, wall tiles, kitchens, and other decoration companies should attract more attention and ask for quality inspection reports. Once a problem arises, written evidence can avoid material substitution. loss.

Anti-process ambiguity

The process is one of the important reasons that affect the decoration cost. The ambiguity in the process leads to the differences in the cost but also to the owner’s attention. For example, when dealing with a wall surface, at the junction of the bearing wall and the gypsum board inner wall, if no caulking is performed, cracks will occur; when the door pockets are opened, double-layer large core boards are used, but many decoration companies are in the quotation. None are reflected. Experts believe that whether the decoration company omits the project or promises the project but does not honor it, it will cause trouble and loss to the owner.

Anti-overpressure

Do not excessively lower the price, which will cause the construction team to have a rebellious mentality, and greatly reduce the decoration materials and quality. For example, the use of non-environmentally friendly large core boards, although the price has dropped, the environmental protection index will also decline; in addition, do not be lured by the construction team's low price quotes. As the "Cell Phone" said, "to feed the tiger is not enough meat, you have to find a supplement from the animal trainer", it sounds a bit terrible, saying that no profit can not afford to get up early, this reason owners do not know.
