Budget and price--how to determine the decoration budget

The decoration budget and price are the new problems encountered by most owners because it is impossible for anyone to buy a house year after year and decorate it year after year. Even if people come, the market will change rapidly, and the experience two or three years ago may have become obsolete. Coupled with the many traps set up by the interior design company, if the homeowner chooses based on conventional experience, it is often worth noting that it is not worth the effort.

The decorating company's budget quotations can not be without water, as little as a few percent, and as many as 1/3 to 1/2. The key is how do you persuade them to squeeze out the water, and they are willing not to squeeze out the water. Limited to the level and energy, most owners are powerless. Because compared to the decorating company, you are full of laymen. The practice of bullying an outsider by an insider is an eternal principle.

If the owner lacks experience in this area and is not familiar with the decoration materials and decoration process, and cannot grasp the authenticity and reliability of the budget quotation, the simplest method is to select two or three interior companies that have scale, credibility, and can visit the construction site. , Sit down and earnestly conduct an item analysis, review, and then come up with a construction plan and construction program that make you completely clear. Combine the quotations of project quotations, such as engineering items, quantities, materials, specifications, unit prices, and total prices, to conduct an item negotiation, and finally finalize the prices acceptable to both parties.

The level of decoration budget is objectively determined by the quality of the materials used in the renovation and the simple construction process, because different materials and practices will inevitably have different prices; subjectively, it is up to the integrity of the decorating company to determine its specific performance. The decorating company's fuzzy design (usually based on market conditions, trying to figure out the owner's psychological quoted price), concealment items (intentionally missing items, giving people a feeling of lower prices), concealment quantity, separate quotes (mainly separate management fees, etc. The illusion that the price is not high) and so on. Therefore, it is very unwise for owners to choose a decoration company entirely on the basis of the quotation.

How to determine the decoration budget is an issue that the owners are very concerned about, but it is also a difficult problem to solve. Because generally speaking, if you do not expressly give the project to the decorating company, it is basically impossible for the decorating company to devote all your energy to the rendering and construction drawing design and provide detailed budget quotations; Before the detailed budget quotation could be seen, it was impossible to decide which decoration company to decorate. This would be a dilemma.

The correct approach is to find a decorating company that fits in with its own decoration and choose a designer who communicates well with you, has a high level of professionalism, and has a good service attitude. First design drawings that are very satisfying to you. For this reason, the design fee has to be paid, which cannot be saved. Because the designer can only enter into the design after receiving your design fee; at this time, you can only purchase valuable drawings and budget quotations before you can carefully review drawings and budget quotations. , scrutiny, to determine whether it is roughly in line with your renovation budget and requirements.

In determining the decoration budget, the following two main points are mastered:

Calculate according to family circumstances

This is well understood. Because the economic situation of each household is different, there is no need to compete with others in home decoration. The general principle is to measure people out and incorporate the expenditures for decoration expenses into the family's future income budget. We must not over-extend too much and greatly reduce the quality of life in the future. We must not be too frugal, so that we can't wait until 35 or 2-3 years before we can redecorate again.

The key is to seek reasonable

The main principle for determining the decoration budget is "reasonable." A reasonable decoration budget should be based on the design of a good design plan, and the design, construction, procurement, and furnishings should be fully integrated. On the one hand, a reasonable and accurate investment should be controlled through the design scheme, so that the allocation of funds can be more reasonable and save money; On the other hand, through the integration of resources, various decoration costs are reduced.

There is no doubt that home decoration must save money, but saving money is not a goal, but it is to achieve the purity of the overall home concept, the pure design of the program, the operation of the pure, and ultimately lead to the inevitable result of saving money.

Looking at the composition of the budget of the renovation, it generally includes main materials, auxiliary materials, labor costs, design fees, management fees, taxes, and so on, which are summarized as two major parts: actual material prices and labor costs.

As the variety of decoration materials and the price of the market are changing rapidly, it is difficult to regulate the decoration budget with a quota. The direct factor affecting the cost of home decoration is the number of renovation projects and projects. The key lies in the choice of building materials, construction technology, and the grade of decoration. Of course, it is also closely related to the qualifications, scale, and fees of the interior design companies.

Reasonable steps to determine the decoration budget

First of all, careful planning and rational design are the primary factors for saving decoration costs. Find out which places are the focus of renovations and do a good job. Never compare blindly.

The second is to figure out how much the actual decoration area is and how it is measured. Because the decoration budget quotation is based on the drawings of the specific size, material and process agreement developed.

Next we must grasp the material price and construction process. Because the cost of materials in the decoration costs account for a large proportion, different construction techniques determine the level of labor costs.

Finally, it is reasonable to negotiate labor costs. Do not assume that the labor cost is free to bargain. In fact, it is based on charges. The key is reasonable. Never have the unrealistic, wrong ideas that best make workers work for you, otherwise it will be difficult to get together.
