Some owners said that it is not necessary to grind the price with the decoration company, but how much money must be saved from the decoration company. On the contrary, I am worried that the money will not be spent less and the quality of decoration will not be guaranteed. In cooperation, they are often fooled by decoration companies. This is what really makes the owners angry.
In this issue, I summarize some tricks commonly used by decoration companies, designers and construction teams, as well as the deceptive words most often said to the owners, so that the new owners can be psychologically prepared first, how to deal with these deceptive quotations, and how to safeguard their best interests.
"Qualification certificate? I have! " I believe that owners who have asked about the qualification of decoration companies have heard this sentence, but the credibility of this sentence is worth thinking about. Large decoration companies do exist, but small or street guerrillas are not credible.
Only decoration companies with corresponding qualification certificates can undertake home improvement, while small decoration companies are affiliated or contracted and have no qualification. Once there is a decoration quality dispute, these unqualified decoration company owners cannot find them to be responsible for after-sales through legal channels.
"A good idea suddenly occurred to me!" Most owners will hear this sentence, which is often said by decoration companies in the construction process in order to change construction projects and increase decoration costs. Only when the project is changed, more materials are used and more processing is done can the decoration company have reason to increase the price.
Some decoration companies attract customers by offering low prices. This kind of low quotation is not that all decoration companies are really cheap, but that they missed some projects and added them during the construction. The expenses of these projects are not included in the budget, and they are all extra charges. In fact, the final settlement fee may be higher.
"Come on, don't be so serious, it's not easy for everyone to make money." Some construction team leaders pretend to be poor as soon as they come up. When the shopkeeper raises an objection at the checkout, they will say this to the shopkeeper. Although the construction workers are also very hard, the owners should respect their labor, but it is not easy for the owners to make money. Reasonable charges are appropriate, and unreasonable charges must be resisted.
Only imported stone can achieve the effect. When the owner struggles with what stone material to use for the cabinet countertop, the builder will suggest the materials from the side. In fact, there is no real data to explain how good the effect of imported stone is, but if the owner listens to the advice of the construction party and buys materials from the merchants he introduced, the construction party will definitely get the commission fee from the merchants.
"After spending 200 yuan, it is better to post 100 to buy a good one." If the owner is not satisfied with the materials during decoration, the decoration company will definitely follow the owner's words and suggest that the owner spend more money to buy better materials. In the end, the owner's decoration budget overspent, but the decoration company earned more material costs.
"I haven't slept in for more than two months." It is often heard that the construction party calls the owner to say how hard they have worked, and takes the opportunity to send the owner to buy materials. In fact, some materials should be provided by the decoration company, but the kind owners may feel that there is not much money for materials, so they can buy them quickly, which can speed up the construction progress and finally let the construction party take advantage.
"There should be a cabinet on the partition of this room." It is often heard that the decoration company advises the owner to increase carpentry. Because carpentry is very profitable, the decoration company will advise the owners to do it as much as possible. For the owners, the carpentry is dirty and the paint smells strong, so it is good to choose finished furniture.
"If you can't see it, you can make do!" When the owner checked and accepted, he found that the back of the cabinet against the wall was not painted and the inside of the cabinet was uneven. The construction party will tell this sentence to fool the owners, which is their usual method of cutting corners. Don't be fooled by car owners.
"Shall we help you throw away these wastes?" No construction worker will be so diligent and take the initiative to help the owner clean up the garbage. Everything they throw away for help can be sold, such as old wires, angle irons and cutting boards. These owners can completely dispose of and sell themselves. There may not be much money, but the owner can't let the builder dispose of his things at will.
