In the past few days, Mr. Li has been tangled up with his own home decoration quotation - 140m2 room decoration of three rooms and two rooms, home improvement company offer half a package of 35,000, 85,000 all-inclusive. The price of 85,000 was indeed not expensive, but it was worried about being "hidden rules" and increasing costs in the later period. You can't afford to be expensive, but you can't install it cheaply. In the peak season of decoration, there are not many owners who have tangled up with Mr. Li.
Audit budget is the first step in the renovation, how to see the budget to avoid spending money? Let senior professional supervisors teach you to see through the barriers in quotes, read quotes, and hold live budgets.
Masking Method 1: Intentional Missing Item
[Case] ​​In March of this year, Ms. Hu’s three-bedroom and one-room decoration. At that time, he consulted several brands of home improvement companies, and the all-inclusive offer was around 100,000. In the end, she chose an unknown company with a budget of 70,000, and promised that the settlement price would not exceed 5% of the budget. Based on this article, Ms. Hu safely signed the contract with the other party and paid the first payment in advance. On the third day of construction, the contractor said that he would add money, dismantle 50 yuan/m2, ground leveling 30 yuan/m2, and building wall 150 yuan/m2, three items totaling 2,000 yuan. Just pay the first period, how to increase the cost of starting? Ms. Hu found the company angrily. The other party claimed that the quotation did not include the above three items and took out a quotation signed and signed by Ms. Hu. In an annoyance, Ms. Hu requested a refund of the money. The other party said that the first payment had been made and no refund was given. In desperation, Ms. Hu can only pay 2,000 yuan. Subsequently, contractors increased their expenses three or five times, and all were items not included in the quotation. Ms. Hu could only recognize it. After all the renovations were finished, Ms. Hu actually spent more than 90,000.
Analysis of professional supervision: Leakage is a common budget trap for irregular home improvement companies. Due to the asymmetrical decoration information, it is often difficult for consumers to notice construction items that are deliberately missed by the home improvement company. Ms. Hu encountered in the case of "demolition, ground leveling, wall building," and other projects, it seems like a small flower can not be much money, add up is not a small expenditure. Consumers are advised to look for a formal home improvement company or ask a professional supervisor for review.
Blindfold 2: intentional leakage
[Case] ​​In May of this year, Ms. Liu renovated the 94m2 wedding room with two bedrooms and one living room. In order to avoid affecting the decoration, she deliberately found a home improvement company that was well-known in her family and offered a full package price of 68,000. After the budget came out, she and her husband deliberately spent half a day studying and felt fairly reasonable. They only objected to one of the "hydropower 5,000 yuan in advance, according to the actual settlement" objection. The other party stated that the price of the wire will follow the market and will be settled according to the actual materials. The decoration progressed smoothly. The final settlement of the hydropower was 7,400 yuan. How come out of the 2400 yuan? Ms. Liu questioned the home improvement company. The other party answered that the wire had a budget of 200 meters. It actually used 320 meters. According to the contract, it was "according to the actual settlement" and there was no violation. The line pipe is a hidden project, and she really can not verify, only a lot of 2400 yuan.
Analysis by professional supervisors: Compared with missing items, the leakage quantity is more difficult for consumers to discover. Latex paints, hydropower, and other projects are likely to be the "hardest hit areas" for leakage. For latex paint products that can be self-tested, consumers can measure their own area first to avoid undue height in the quotation. For hidden projects such as hydropower, you can communicate with friends who have been refurbished, or ask for professional supervision.
Blindfold 3: Split quote
[Case] ​​Last month, Ms. Xiao was located in the three-bedroom apartment in Huangpi Plaza and was going to refurbish it. He consulted a brand home improvement company and quoted 106,000. Although she did not understand the budget, she took a hard look at the accounting work, copied a budget, and found acquaintances of a third-party supervision to review, this trial actually squeezed 15,000 of the "moisture", the original, this budget Many of the projects have split quotation, such as latex paint, which is divided into basic treatment of 15 yuan and latex paint of 10 yuan. It seems that these two items are not expensive, adding up to 25 yuan, and the general latex paint only Need 22 yuan. The results can be imagined, she gave up the company.
Analysis of professional supervision: split quotes, repeated pricing, these tricks are common in unregulated home improvement companies. When communicating with designers, consumers try to consult each project as much as possible, and they can also check the relevant construction process on a professional website to avoid deliberately splitting the offer or repeating pricing. If economic conditions permit, professional third-party supervisors can be hired to check the budget.
