Learn to make a budgetary inventory of "surcharges" that are easily missed

Many decorators reflect that the actual decoration costs are much higher than those in the previous period. Some newly decorated friends are even carrying a debt to move into a new home. There may be a lot of reasons for this kind of tragic incident, but the most important reason is that the budget for decoration was not considered comprehensively when it was first started, some “additional small projects” were missed, and some factors that may cause changes were ignored. There are also some decorations in order to "stuck" the consumer first, deliberately missing some projects, resulting in a lower budget "false impression." Here, we will “check” some of the additional expenses that are easily forgotten when we are doing budgeting, so that we can pay attention earlier.

Home inspection fee

Now everyone will look more and more than before the renovation, may find a few decorating companies to do consulting, out of the program. The decorating company will send people to visit the house and measure it before doing the project. According to the conditions of the house, it will generally charge a measurement fee of several hundred yuan. If you choose to decorate the decoration company, then the measurement fee will be included in the design fee without any additional calculation. If it is not in the interior decoration company, then the money will be listed separately.

Home visits, measurements will generally ask someone, with some professional equipment. The decorating company must pay a certain fee in order to ensure the cost, which is fairly reasonable.

Self-purchased goods management fee

If you do not use the materials provided by the decorating company during the renovation process, you must purchase some of your own. Do not calculate the price of purchased materials. Remember to ask the decorating company whether it will charge for the purchase of products and coordinate construction. Some of the interior design companies charge up to 10~15% of the total price of goods purchased by owners.

Even if you do a full-package repair, when you visit a store or a store, you will inevitably fancy some favorite products. Don't rush to buy a home. First ask whether the decorating company will charge extra fees.

Project change coordination fee

During the construction process, some owners like to change the plan repeatedly. Once the decoration is demolition and modification, the material is basically obsolete. In the half-track reform program, not only has it had to borrow materials, but the construction period has also been delayed. Some decoration companies will also require owners to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages or coordination fees. Do not think that only increasing the project will increase the cost, and for the project that changes are reduced, because the materials used are also reduced, a liquidated damages will also be charged. Some companies charge a total of 10% of the total amount of liquidated damages for reduced products.

After the design plan is completed, the project will be finalized. Try not to change the project later. Fill in the "project change order" is more troublesome, followed by a major "change coordination fee."

Project site utilities

Do not think that the decorating company will help you to pay utility bills and other utility fees. In Article 6 of the “Shanghai Family Room Decoration and Construction Contract” of the 06th Edition, Article 2(1) points out that “in the construction, the project requires the use of on-site hydropower, and the resulting water fee and electricity fee will be determined by the owner. bear". If the decorating company’s workers are staying at the scene, the cost will be increased.

The current decoration team is generally equipped with professional construction tools, which will result in a certain loss of resources. In addition, when the owners are absent from the site, the construction of the workers is more arbitrarily, and some resources are likely to be “wasted”.

Material price increase fee

The price of the material is not static, and it is the price when the budget statement is made. It may increase when it is actually purchased and used. The most common example is solid wood flooring. Some time ago, due to the rise of solid wood raw materials, many solid wood floors also increased their prices. Many floors that use precious wood as raw materials are even sold for a day. For example, the use of teak flooring decoration, the budget may be more than 300 yuan / m2, when used to rise to more than 400 yuan / m2. When budgeting, it is best to set aside 3% room for the total material fee.

The prices of products in supermarkets are generally adjusted once a month. Red-labeled goods can be negotiated. Product price variability is relatively large.

Decoration refuse clear freight

The clean freight for decoration waste may consist of several components: the cost of cleaning the interior waste generated by the decorating company, the waste disposal fee charged by the property, and the woven bags used to buy the waste. Don't underestimate the cost. Just buying garbage bags may cost you hundreds of dollars. In particular, some rooms that require major changes in their structure or old ones that need to be demolished are likely to double in cost.

Demolition of old garbage is more, in addition to the increase of garbage clearance freight, do not forget to count the demolition of labor costs, management fees and so on.

Finished clearance cleaning fee

After the renovation is completed, it is necessary to clear the site and some of the stains generated during construction cannot be removed by yourself. You need to ask a professional cleaning company. Depending on the size of the house and the different cleaning items, the general costs range from a few hundred dollars. If the decoration site is not too "dirty", you can call your nanny to clean it up, which will save you a cost.

Cleaning may also use a number of professional appliances, such as special cleaners for solid wood floors, floor polishers, wallpaper wall special brushes, and so on, which will cost a lot.

Indoor air testing (purification) fee

For the health and safety of occupants, many decorators will do some air testing after the project is completed. Or to purify the air, buy air purifiers, green plants, and more. This fee is also indispensable. Some decorating companies will give away some air testing items. If they ask for testing, they will generally spend a few thousand dollars at a time.

Professional detection of air is generally adopted. The charge for one point may be a few hundred dollars. It is best if there is a decorating company willing to present it.
