For every owner who just has a new home, renovation is a big deal. The effect of the decoration is closely related to the advantages and disadvantages of the decoration company. Therefore, when decorating the owner and the decoration company, they must master certain skills, which plays a very important role in home decoration. How to negotiate, listen to the opinions of experts, maybe it will help you!
Understand the qualification of decoration company
When negotiating with the decoration company, it is necessary to understand the construction qualification of the decoration company. The decoration company must be qualified to carry out the decoration works, and also check the company's business license. In addition, whether the company has a formal office or not, and whether it can issue qualified bills, etc., needs to be carefully examined. The level and qualifications of interior designers are directly related to the level of design, so ask the designer of the company in detail. If it is a friend's introduction, you can learn about the company through acquaintances. But sometimes friends and family are not "experts" in this respect, and it is inevitable that there will be "misleading", so it is still necessary to personally do it.
Initial contact with home improvement company
At present, there are two kinds of quotation methods for decoration companies: one is how much money the owner wants to invest, and the decoration company starts designing and quoting in combination with the requirements of the owner; the other is the specific requirement of the owner to propose the decoration of the room, which is reported by the decoration company. How much does it cost to meet the owner's requirements?
Many consumers are willing to adopt the second negotiation method, the purpose is to avoid the decoration company to take the "bottom". Consumers want the decoration company to quote first, and they also have a room for comparison and counter-offer.
In fact, the profit margins of all formal decoration companies are almost the same, the difference is that the design strength and after-sales service are good or bad. The owner will only delay his time and delay the construction progress. Therefore, when you start to contact with the decoration company, it is best to directly prepare yourself how much you want to spend, and what kind of effect you want to achieve, and express it to the decoration company. If the decoration company agrees to undertake the home renovation project of the owner, it can enter the specific design, quotation and negotiation stage.
Confirm design bargaining
After the owner and the decoration company reach a preliminary intention, the decoration company must understand the specific requirements of the owner and conduct on-site measurements. Subsequently, the company will hand over the design drawings and detailed quotations to the owner, which lists very specific materials and construction quantities.
After the owner gets the material, the first thing to look at is whether the design meets his or her requirements. The owner can of course ask the designer to explain the design, such as the handling of some space, the application of materials, etc. After confirming the design, it is also necessary to carefully examine whether the price and usage of each item in the quotation is reasonable.
Eliminate renovation contract loopholes
After the quotation is approved, the formal decoration company also signs a construction contract or agreement with the owner. In this contract, the industry mainly pays attention to the following three questions:
1. The specific requirements and completion date of the decoration must be stated in the contract. Some consumers did not pay attention to these two points when signing the contract, and laid a "foreshadowing" for some decoration companies to squander and delay the construction period.
2. The specific brand or model of the decorative materials used must be indicated in the contract to prevent the decoration company from shoddy.
3. The provisions of the contract relating to the warranty are indispensable, and the responsibility shall be clarified: if it is a quality problem of the construction or materials, the decoration company shall bear full responsibility; if it is improperly used by the user, both parties may negotiate.
Investigate the strength of the construction team
The quality of the decoration depends largely on the quality of the construction team. Therefore, before the renovation, the owner should also check the construction team used by the decoration company.
Judging from the current situation, most of the construction teams engaged in home decoration in major cities across the country are foreign personnel. At present, the degree of electrification of the decoration project is very high. Generally, the strength of the construction team began to use tools such as electric pumps and nail guns in order to improve quality and efficiency. Therefore, the owner can judge whether the construction team has the corresponding quality from the tools used by the workers.
