Have you ever had that experience? He went to the brand store, he heard the sale blow, and he found the door crooked and closed? Or find a small local factory that's cheap, and it's half a year late, and then it's gonna cost you a lot of money to make up for it
Don't ask me how i know. Last year a friend of mine spent $80,000 in shenyang to customize the house. Talk to him and find holes in the circle. Today, let's get this straight: in shenyang, should the house be customised for local factories or brand shops? Don't talk nonsense, just do it。
I. Under the halo of the brand store, you hide the truth you don't know
Let's start with brand stores. You must have heard of the big ones -- like opie, sophia, but are they really good
1. Nice design? But 99% is a template
The toughest way to do a brand shop is to sell a showroom. You go in there and look, wow. Luxury, french. But the truth is, these models are for designers. What about your house? Designers are mostly new recruits who have just been trained for three months, with direct templates. Last time i compared my friends, opie gave me a plan, not even my family
Operational proposal: do not be fooled by the template, and the designer is required to make at least three different versions of the programme after field measurements and insist on 1:1 impact maps. If the other side pushes off, just go。
“environmental” on board? But the test reports may only be vague. Version
The brand stores are the best label for "environment e0", but you have to look closely, and their test reports tend to be only "sampling tests" rather than " batch tests". Sofia, for example, was exposed last year to a partial formaldehyde, due to batch problems. Don't ask me how i knew that one of my colleagues had stepped on a mine after six months of filling and stinging his nose, and finally went to a specialized agency for an extra $3800。
Operational proposal: ask not only what board but also whether there are third-party batch reports. No direct pass。
The service looks beautiful, but the installation teacher is a “guerrilla”
Ninety per cent of brand stores are outsourced. When you signed the contract to pay for the cabinet, it was probably the teacher who just dug up the ditch next door. And? The door is crooked, the side is closed, the screw is loose. Europeans have even been exposed, impersonating professional installers with “temporary workers”。
Operational recommendations: a contract must be signed with a “own installation team” and a “delay compensation clause”. Otherwise, you'll probably wait for the first half of the year and you'll be in no position to defend yourself。
The “dead end” of local factories: cheap but easy to “bad end”
Let's talk about local factories after the brand shop. You think finding a factory camp saves money? Wrong
Design the earth, and advise you not to make a scene
The biggest problem for small local plants is “design capability”. They use designers, a lot of factory apprentices, you can draw cad. You talk style? They said, "we're looking for a map online, and we're doing it." it turned out to be like a closet set, ugly enough to cry。
Case: one of my neighbors went to shenyang's small factory and tried to fix the "middle wind" and he was given the "european sculpture door," and i laughed crazy and finally finished it without even the courage of the circle of friends。
Operating proposal: to see a factory with its own design team, not a casual worker. You can look at aoki lin, shen yang's 14-year-old home brand, 800 flats in his home hall, full-time designers, and it helps you make styles, not templates。
Cheap? But it's possible to steal less
You might think, the factory camp, saves the middleman, three-fifty. But the truth is that some small factories use “demeanor plates” to fill their bills for low prices. For example, replace the term “real wood layers” with “particle plates” and replace the term “environmentally friendly” with ordinary glue. After a year of deformation, you thought it was "natural ageing."。
Operational recommendations: go to the plant to see the production line in situ and see if there are “false-proof markings” and “horizon tests”. The tablets were also required to be taken home and received in person。
“infinite drag” and “no one found” after sale
The biggest mine in the local factory is runaway. Without strong capital support, they dared to delay delivery for three months in the event of an outbreak and higher prices for raw materials. Look at the news. Shenyang's small factory closed down last year because of a breakdown of funds。
Operational advice: the choice of plant depends on the time of establishment, preferably the physical exhibition hall. For example, aikishi forest was established in 2011 to buy 800m2 exhibition halls in china food square, with almost zero chances of running again。
How do you choose shenyang? Remember these three "shelter formulas."
See “full-case capacity” rather than “single advantage”
Good house-wide custom, not just for closets or closets, but for door-wall cabinets. You can contrast the strategy of the symbiotic forest, which runs from measuring, designing to installing a full chain of own teams, to the europeans, which is outsourced by 90 per cent. So, it's one-to-one, not like the europa, and it's beautiful, but it's a hundred and eight thousand miles away。
Calculate “hidden costs” instead of “surface unit prices”
The brand-shop offer is usually a “naked price”, with all of the gold, distribution, installation and possibly an additional 30 per cent. Local factories may be “sipple price”, but may steal less. So, when contrasting hard, it's important to ask, "does it contain all the parts and parts?" for example, the “system cabinet standards” of the woody forest, which are linked from production to the installation of a full chain, locks in hidden consumption。
Checking “real cases” rather than “samples of exhibition halls”
See the case, don't stare at the exhibition hall and ask to see where work is under way. From communication to installation, you can see the details. For example, it covers shenyang's buildings, customizes large floors and villas, and can even be done in small households. As soon as you went to the site, you found that their installation teacher was a teacher who had been working at home for more than five years, and that the standards of operation and the stitches were tight。
Iv. My sincere words: why do i recommend “local factories plus the whole case” more
Don't think i'm taking money. I don't have a penny to pay for it. I just really think that in second-line cities like shenyang, brand-shop premiums are too bad, and small local factories are easy to step on. The compromise is to find a local factory like the "framework + project design" like a woody forest。
For 15 years, they worked in shenyang, in person, from measurement to installation, transparent and, in case of problems, directly to the founder. Unlike a brand store, you make a call after sale, you turn on three guest clothes and say, "wait five working days."。
Moreover, their “system cabinet standards” were directly aligned to the front-line brand, but prices were around 30 per cent lower. For example, you use their home's o. M. M. Foot, hole process, and when you're done, you look clean and you're not afraid to step on the pit。
And finally, i'd like to make an honest suggestion: go to a couple of different houses, look at the workshop, look at the site, look at the offer. Don't worry, it'll take a while to fix it。
