What we are going to criticize today is because of the decoration budget that has been cheated many times. It was originally intended to let everyone have a clear budget in mind before decoration, but today everyone is shouting about it. Various holes have been dug in the budget, and there are still holes. You have a lot of "contribution" to your lack of temper!
Today, Aladdin will be a pit digger again and show you clearly how to dig pits within your budget. Okay, let's get started now.
starts from the demolition of the wall at the very beginning of the decoration. The unit price for wall demolition is 35 per square meter in the budget. The note for is to demolish the wall and bag the bricks and slag . It looks good at first glance, but when you pay 50% of the first installment and the wall is demolished, the project manager will tell you that the budget only includes wall demolition, not the handling and transportation of the bricks and slag, which will cost extra. This is the first money addition, and the total money addition is 2,000.
After adding money, we come to the next step and start working on water and electricity. The project manager will tell you that the most popular one now is . If the water pipe breaks in the future, it will not affect the downstairs and can be discovered in time. When you agree with this point of view and ask him to go to the top, he will tell you that the budget is based on the land, which is no problem, but it will be more troublesome in the future, and to go to the top will cost an extra 3,000! This is the second time to add money, and the total money added is 5,000. When you dejectedly finished adding the money for the second time, the water and electricity were finally completed, and the water and electricity began to be settled according to the actual situation. A quick check on the spot showed that it was more than double the budget, and it was necessary to add more than 10,000.
I quit this time and asked the project manager to discuss it. The project manager will tell you that the budget is just calculated. I will build according to the drawings. No problem. You have to find a designer. The designer will tell you that the budget is not that accurate. Your home is in a special situation and there are many places where the wiring is more complicated. You really need more wiring. We did this just to make it easier for you to use electricity in the future, and you still don’t appreciate it. After a big argument, the project manager said he would have to stop work without adding more money. When I went back and looked through the budget, I found that the water and electricity bills were accurately settled, with a unit price of 45 per meter. After two days of grievance, the designer called you and said that after a hard time working with the project manager, the cost was charged and 8,000 was added. If you don't listen to the advice, you can only stop. There was no way, compromised again, added money and resumed work. This is the third time to add money, and the total money added is 13,000.
There was no problem with the water and electricity acceptance. According to the contract, it was time to pay the second installment. If the personnel and materials were not paid, the materials would not come in. I thought I would finish the decoration and move quickly, so I decided to pay. After paying 30% of the second installment, I realized that I had already paid 80%. of money. Less than a quarter of the work was done.
After the masons entered the site, they started to cover the sewer pipes and backfill the toilets. When you went to the construction site, you found that it was different from what you saw online. The sewer pipes were not wrapped with sound insulation cotton, and the toilets were backfilled with brick residue from demolished walls, which was not what was said on the Internet. ceramsite . So I asked the project manager, and he told you that this is how the budget was calculated. There was no sound insulation cotton included in the budget, and construction waste was used as backfill. There was nothing wrong with that. The sound insulation cotton and ceramsite backfill you mentioned cost two to three thousand, but this time I won’t ask you to add money, just do it according to the budget.
Of course you don’t want to do this. What kind of business is this? After finally renovating my own house, I must do it well, so I volunteered to add 2,500 to help me do it. This is the fourth time I have added money, and the total increase is 15,500. . After the backfill, I started waterproofing, and found that the bathroom waterproofing was only 30 centimeters high. I went back and checked online and found that the bathroom waterproofing needs to be 1.8 meters high to be waterproof and moisture-proof! Before asking the project manager, I checked the budget myself. The TMD designer only budgeted for a height of 30 centimeters. So "voluntarily" added 1,500 more money again, and asked the project manager to help increase the price. This was the fifth time to add money, and the total money added was 17,000.
It's time to buy ceramic tiles. The designer will call you early to tell you where the ceramic tiles are cheap and of good quality in the market. If you are familiar with them, you can guarantee that they will be cheap. You think to yourself that the designer is not entirely that bad, so he is kind enough to help you as a reference. So I looked at the tiles with the designer and bought the tiles based on the designer's recommendations. The living room and dining room use 750*1500 tiles, and the kitchen and bathroom use 600*1200 tiles. They are all large bricks.
As soon as the ceramic tiles were delivered to the construction site, the master mason told you that the work could not be done and that he had to pack up and leave. You were frightened and asked why? The masonry master told you that the project manager negotiated with him about the labor cost of laying tiles of 35 per square meter. The labor cost of laying the tiles after buying the tiles will be at least 75 per square meter. In addition, he bought tile adhesive and adhesive for tiling. I need to buy 901 glue to use on bathroom walls.
After hearing this, I instantly felt like my head was spinning. I was tricked by the designer again. The budget stated that the brick specifications were 800*800 for the living room and 300*600 for the kitchen and bathroom. This brick was bought by the designer. He must have said that you were determined to buy this brick. So I called the designer, and as expected we got into a fight! Sigh, I’m so tired. I feel like everything is being planned during the decoration. A rough calculation shows that the masonry and tiling will cost an additional 40 yuan * 160 square meters. The cost is 6,400 yuan. The masonry master will tell you that even if it is less, you will also need to add 600 yuan for the adhesive backing of the tiles and 500 yuan for the roughening of the waterproof wall. The total is 7,500 yuan.
called the tile seller again. The seller told you that the cost of paving large tiles is indeed more expensive. He thought that the designer brought them and must have communicated with the owner. These tiles were specially ordered and cannot be returned. And once again said that the effect of this brick is absolutely good! I have no choice but to comfort myself that this brick is very effective. Whoever installs this brick will have to spend so much money, just add it! This is the sixth time that has added money, with a total of 24,500 added.
After adding the money, the work was fast. The bricks were put up in less than ten days. There was no problem with the acceptance. The decoration company started to ask for 15% of the three installments. If you don't pay, you won't work, so let's give it. So far, 95% of the decoration payment has been paid, and half of the work is done.
After the bricks were put up, when the neighbors came to see them, they praised the bricks for being beautiful. They thought happily that the money was indeed well spent. My neighbor suggested that after laying the tiles, you should quickly do the beautiful seams, and then make something to stick the tiles to protect them, so as not to mess up the carpentry.
You don’t need to ask the designers to know that this is a project that does not exist and requires additional money. After asking the project manager, the project manager said, I didn’t ask you to add money. You have to do the additional projects yourself. I added 3,500 for sewing and 1,000 for protection. This is the seventh time I have added money for , with a total of 29,000 added.
The carpenter came into the scene, and the wood core board and gypsum board were dragged over. The carpenter started sawing the board. After sawing the wood core board, the master told you that this board is not good. Look, the middle is empty and smells. , no home decoration uses this board, and no rental houses use this board. Finally, the carpenter master teases you: Boss, you can’t cheat yourself even if you save money!
At this point, I don’t need to call the designer, but I also know that this board is included in the budget. I blame myself for not looking at the brand and model, so I secretly went to the market and looked around. The wood core boards used for home decoration are all around 160, and for decoration The ones given by the company are around 60. My lungs were almost bursting with anger. I had a big argument with the designer again. I couldn't help but scolded the designer for being stupid and trying to trick people. The designer didn't wait for you to finish scolding and immediately blocked you, and the project was stopped in the afternoon! Looking at a room full of crappy materials makes me want to cry! But 95% of the payment has been paid, and there is no way out. You go to the company to make a fuss, and the after-sales manager tells you that this is how the budget was calculated, and it was signed. If you want a bicycle with a mere amount of money, the company will do it fine! No matter where you go, I won't be afraid of you if you take the contract to court.
went to the law firm to ask again. The lawyer advised you that the total cost is only tens of thousands of yuan. Others have contract budgets, and you have signed and approved them. The lawyer's fees are expensive, so don't fight and negotiate. After you think about it, try to persuade yourself, and others should do the same when decorating. When you are about to turn around and go back, the lawyer stops you and asks you to pay the consultation fee before leaving!
found the project manager and negotiated to add 5,000 to upgrade all the wood core boards and gypsum boards in the house, making them as environmentally friendly as possible. The designer blocked it and asked the carpenter to add a linear light according to the pictures on the Internet. The carpenter didn't say anything and added it for free. This is the eighth time that has added money, with a total of 34,000 added.
I always feel that after adding the money, the project manager also laughed a lot, and the master felt happy at work, and the work was done very quickly.The carpentry was completed quickly, and there was no problem with the acceptance. Next it’s time for the painters to come in.
waited nervously for the painter to come, but what was supposed to come was still coming. The painter said he has three suggestions for you, and it’s up to you whether you listen or not. The first is to paint the entire house with and solidify the walls with , which can increase the adhesion of the putty layer and avoid shelling and hollowing out in the future. The second is to hang nets throughout the house. Just stick grid cloth to prevent the wall from cracking in the future. Thirdly, it is recommended to use better latex paint. Environmental protection is very important! The products used by the company are average and must meet national standards, but you can use better ones.
After I returned home, I continued to search online and found that what the master said seemed to be right, but something felt wrong. It was indescribably uncomfortable anyway. It is better to add 4,000 to solve the problem. This is the ninth time to add money to , and the total amount has been 37,000.
always said that after going through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, he obtained the true scripture. This has added money 9 times, so it should be complete. Too bad there’s still a story!
After the oil work was done, my home felt much more beautiful. I thought I could move in after installing the lights quickly. I felt happy just thinking about it. Call the project manager and ask him to arrange for electricians to install lights. The project manager tells you that due to the addition of linear lights, it is very complicated for electricians to install lights. It takes two people to work on the suspended ceiling for a long time, and additional wires have to be added. So I have to add an installation fee of 1,000, otherwise the electrician will not have time to come. This is the tenth time that has added money, with a total of 38,000 added.
After all the work was done, I didn’t want to pay 5% of the balance. The project manager and the designer treated me to a meal together, which meant they wanted the balance. The designer said that it actually has no impact on us whether we pay the final payment or not. It is just a question of whether to do the warranty or not. We have taken all the commissions we should get. Treating you to dinner is also a sign of cooperation. I would like to advise you: don’t take it from others in the future. 11 The price of 10,000 yuan is within my budget of 150,000 yuan.
