The climax of home improvement in the first half of 2009 has come to an end. The “quasi-owners†who are preparing to start renovations in the second half are gearing up. Decoration is an art full of regrets. How to fully save funds in the decoration process is a topic that consumers are always concerned about. Especially when many people are burdened with mortgages, saving as much money as possible is the focus of attention. In fact, as long as you are willing to use your brains, you can find a lot of coups to save money.
Calculate the decoration budget carefully before starting construction
Sun Dongming, executive deputy secretary-general of the Henan Decoration Association, said that the decoration budget is the most vulnerable part of the home improvement company. Consumers should review the decoration budget repeatedly according to the actual area of ​​their respective units and the market price of building materials, and see whether the budget book has obvious false reports. For example, the painted area of ​​the wall is measured by yourself.
Sun Dongming said that under normal circumstances, it is normal for building materials to lose 5% to 10%. If there are more, they must be carefully studied. If fees such as "mechanical wear and tear," "site management fees," and "taxes and fees" appear in the budget book, they are irrational charges and should be refused.
In addition, when you look at the budget book, you must take into account the brand, model, construction process and process of the material, which are related to the quality of the decoration, and avoid some decoration companies from cutting corners or shoddy.
Hydroelectric reform is mostly considered for future use
Liu Xin, general manager of Shichuang Decoration's Zhengzhou company, has many years of experience in engineering supervision. He suggested that during the hydropower reform, do not blindly route wires everywhere, and you must have your own ideas. For example, when setting up sockets, network cables, and telephone line interfaces, it is necessary to consider the convenience and needs of future life; when arranging the waterway, if the bathroom's original device design method is a waste of distance, then you can modify the basin or The location of the shower.
Do not waste the cost of purchasing materials
Liu Xin said that if the owner can communicate with the workers before construction, and roughly plan the use of materials, it can effectively avoid the waste of materials. For example, when laying corner tiles, try to use the tiles that have been cut to the correct size beforehand; when cutting the tiles, plan well to avoid large pieces of wood becoming useless scrap.
Some attentive owners will measure the area of ​​the wall and paint the area of ​​a bucket of paint before the worker starts to paint the wall to calculate the required number of paint buckets. Then paint the corresponding wall to the workers so that the workers can use them all. In this way, it not only ensures the quality of the project, reduces the possibility of workers cutting corners and materials, but also avoids the waste of wall paint because of blindly obeying the workers.
Liu Xin said that if the owners are ready to buy the decoration materials by themselves, they must plan well before buying. They can plan the purchase time of the materials according to the material procurement schedule listed by the decoration company. This saves time and money.
Study Group Purchase Do Not Follow Blindly
Nowadays, many people choose to buy decoration materials through group purchasing or QQ Group's collective procurement, and obtain relatively low prices through collective advantages.
Chen Yongjun, director of extraordinary decorative design, believes that group purchase can indeed help consumers squeeze the price of water to a certain extent. However, do not blindly follow the trend when participating in group purchases. Buy only the products that are not needed or are not suitable for home decoration simply because they are cheap. Family. In addition, to participate in group purchase to do enough "homework", such as understanding the originator of group purchase is not a manufacturer or regional distributor, the organizer of group purchase should also be carefully examined. In fact, as long as you understand the bottom line of the price, buying materials through your home improvement company may save you money and effort.
Strict planning and reasonable distribution of shopping funds
The chief designer of Hong Kong's Tianwei Decoration, Yanjiang Boats, said that for products that will be used every day or every day, such as switches, faucets, and wooden floors, buying quality products from big brands will ensure the safety and convenience of home life. For those places that are not frequently used, such as the tiles on the back of the cabinet, wall paint on the wall of the storage room, etc., you can choose ordinary products. With such careful planning, you can save a lot of money. Yanjiang Boats said that in the construction of the same attention to the frequency of use of the product, for example, some designers recommend the installation of dual-control switch on the grounds of convenience, then we must think carefully, what is the frequency of use of this part in the future? If it is a bedroom lamp, it is necessary to install dual controls if you want to operate the switch on the bed. If it is a lamp that does not turn on for a few months, there is no need to install a dual-control switch.
Pay attention to saving energy and spending more money in the future
When purchasing decoration materials, it is necessary to take into consideration the energy saving effect in the future, even if it is purchased with a little more investment in order to save more money in the future life. For example, buy water-saving faucets, water-saving toilet seats, some decorative background light sources can choose LED lights, if the home has a large chandelier, be sure to install a split switch, to avoid opening the lights in the future when you have to open all the light bulbs, Cause unnecessary waste of electrical energy.
Choose furniture to do space planning in advance
For some household products that play a certain decorative role in the future of home life, such as furniture, flooring, etc., it is best to first understand the general visual effect of the product after use, and then decide whether to purchase it based on the effect.
I love my family's youth furniture Henan agent Zhao Yichun, said that many high-end furniture companies are now equipped with computers and related software in stores, according to the product models selected by consumers, to create a three-dimensional simulation of the product renderings, and even the effect of animation . In this way, consumers can avoid returning due to problems such as color differences or have to repeat purchases.
Before purchasing furniture, be sure to plan ahead for the placement of your furniture and the mix between each other, based on your home situation and your lifestyle. Good planning can save costs by actually saving unnecessary furniture or household items.
