The renovation was a bottomless hole, many of whom had a limited budget and had over 100,000 people dressed, not because of the cost of materials, but because they had stepped on the wrong pit and spent a lot of money. Today, we will speak once and for all about where the renovation can save money and where it has to spend money, so that at least 40,000-6,000 will be saved, without compromising quality and effectiveness。
First of all, understand: the central logic of saving money from renovations is not to buy cheap goods, but to spend it on blades
Many people thought that it was the cheapest thing to buy for the renovations, and it took two years to get in and get back to work. The real cost savings are the identification of “discretionary” and “indispensable” areas, which can be boldly spent on key items that affect security, durability and later maintenance。
For example, covert projects such as water and electricity retrofitting, waterproofing, wall flooring must be well-equipped, without subsequent leaks, electricity leaks, wall skins, and much more money is saved to return to work, while non-hidden projects such as wall-based emulsions, bricks and cranes can be more expensive to choose, not blindly pursuing big cards, as long as environmental standards are met and quality is satisfactory。
Moreover, many people like to do complex models with the wind, such as the red-back wall, multiple ceilings, plaster lines, which are not only expensive, they can be obsolete, they can be cleaned later, but they are simple white walls, no-man lights, which are both expensive and durable, and they are not easily obsolete。
Ii. The boldness of these areas can save tens of thousands, without compromising quality and effectiveness
1. Hanging: do not make complex configurations, no master lamps + simple hangings are the most efficient money
Many people like to do complex multi-layered slings, plaster lines, eye-skin slings, which cost thousands and tens of thousands of people to come down from a house alone. It's now popular to design a no-man lamp, or to do a simple round of hangings, that can hide pipes, air conditioning, and not press heights, and save a lot of money. If the layer is high enough, it can even be done without a ceiling, with a plaster paint and a plaster line。
2. Walls: do not blindly pursue import paints and the price of national production is extremely high
Many people feel that imported emulsion paints are environmentally friendly, and many of the country's large-scale emulsion paints now have the same level of environmental protection as imports, at a price of more than half. The first-line brand, for example, is based on emulsive paints, which are of high environmental quality, and the voc content is good enough to meet household needs and do not have to pay for imported paints. Also, the white wall or the light colour system is chosen without too many colours. It is not easy to be out of date, and it is easy to fix later, without extra money。
3. Ground bricks: no big tiles, and the local brand of guangdong bricks is of the same quality
A lot of people buy tiles, they're just big cards, and it takes hundreds of bricks and tens of thousands of bricks to come down from a house. In fact, the core of the tiles is guangdong, where many of the local branded guangdong bricks, and the big tiles, are produced by the same plant, with the same quality, tolerance and water intake rates, at a price of more than half the price. When selecting tiles, it is clear that they are of guangdong origin, that they are in compliance with environmental standards, and that they are not blindly pursued。
4. Customized cabinets: instead of house-wide design cards, it would be more cost-effective to find local factory customizations
A home-wide custom price, a high brand premium, and many large custom cabinets, one square metre of one thousand and one house of one thousand. In fact, it's custom-made, with the same plates at a price of 30 to 50 per cent, and the plates are of their own choosing and the environmental level can be controlled. For example, with an e0 class plate or an eco-board, it is much cheaper to customize than a large card, is not of poor quality, and it is more useful to design size based on its own needs。
5. Background wall: don ' t make the net red, big white wall + hanger the longest look
Many spent thousands of dollars on marble background walls, masonal background walls, plaster line-forming background walls, resulting in bored living for two years and later cleaning problems. In fact, the simplest white wall, or a light-colored emulsion paint, with a few paintings and a tv cabinet, has a clear and durable effect and saves thousands of dollars. If you really want to make a model, you can also choose the top-priced wood patch or the plaster plate, so don't be blind to the wind。
6. Lamps: do not buy red crystal lamps, toplights+lights are most useful
Net red crystal lamps, multiple chandeliers, expensive chandeliers, easy to accumulate ash, trouble to clean later, and bad light sources are difficult to change. In fact, a home-based lamp, with a simple headlight + light + light, is enough, is cheap, even, is not easy to break, and is easier to maintain later. In the living room, for example, the use of a suction lamp, a simple chandelier in the dining room, a suction lamp in the bedroom, a light with a light with a light and a light for the light are better than a net red light and can save money。
Three. These eight materials are to be used to save the costs of returning to work. Money
1. Pipelines: select a national brand and not buy cheap plaques
Water pipes are hidden works, buried in walls and underground, and it is very difficult to break walls when water leaks. It is important to choose the country-marked ppr pipes, such as the first-line brand of cold and hot water pipes, which are thick enough to resist pressure and are not easy to explode. Do not buy cheap impregnated pipes, which, although cheap, are not of guaranteed quality, run a high risk of leaking at a later stage and have saved much more than to return to work。
2. Wiring: selection of national copper line, not buying aluminium line or non-copper line
Wires are also hidden works, which not only jumps, but can also cause fires when short roads and electricity leaks. It is important to select a country-marked copper line with sufficient lines, such as 2. 5 squares for plugs, 4 squares for air conditioning, water heaters and 6 squares for large power appliances. Do not buy aluminium or non-coated wires, although they are cheap, but conductive energy is poor, prone to heat ageing and safety risks。
3. Waterproofing: materials and manual, toilet, kitchen, balcony okay
Waterproofness was one of the most important works in the renovation, and the cost of returning to work was high in the event of a leak and the downstairs neighbours approached the door. Waterproof toilets, kitchens, balconyes must have good waterproof coatings, such as polyurethane or acrylic waterproofing paints, and must be repeated twice, with waterproof surfaces high enough, toilet walls at least 1. 8 m and kitchens and balcony 1. 5 m. Upon completion of waterproofness, it is essential to conduct a closed water test to confirm that there is no leak and that the material is not lost。
4. Cricket/back rubber: save to prevent the fall of tiles
When tiles are applied, the concrete is not applied directly, especially the bricks, which can easily fall off. It is important to have good tile or reel, it is sticky, it is not easy to remove empty drums, and it is easier to maintain them later. In order to save money, many people use poor-quality tiles or put them directly on cement, which results in two years of tiles falling off, causing trouble to people and making it costly to return to work。
5. Board: no poor quality, no environmental and quality assurance
Customized cabinets, closets and cabinets must be selected to meet environmental standards, e. G., e0 or enf levels, not to buy poor-quality plates, or to exceed formaldehyde standards, affecting health. It is also easy to deform and break, in a few years, and has to be replaced and more expensive。
6. Emulsive paint: no three products, no environmental and quality standards
While emulsion paints can be used to select high-priced national production cards, it is important not to buy three products that are not only environmentally unattainable, but also that are more susceptible to powdering, peeling, colouring and later repainting, which is expensive and expensive. It is important to select a formal brand of emulsion paint, with an environmental level of excellence and guaranteed quality。
7. Leakage: don't buy cheap, smellproof is important
It's a small leak, but it's the key. Once it's blocked and it stinks, the bathroom won't work. It's important to choose a stench-proof leak, such as a deep water cover or a t-type leak, fast draining, good odorproof, not easy to block. Don't buy cheap leaks, it won't take long. It's too much trouble。
8. Five gold pieces: never mind. The doors, drawers, taps, flowers
The hardware, although insignificant, determines the useful life of the furniture. The combination of pages, slides in drawers, taps and flowers must be of good quality, such as first-line hardware, which is open, not easily rusty, loose and can take many years. Don't buy cheap hardware, it won't be long before it's broken, it'll be a problem, it will affect the use experience。
Iv. Other techniques to save money from renovations
1. Don ' t fix it in the middle of the season to avoid peaks period
During the hot seasons of renovations (e. G. Spring, gold and silver), the wages of workers, the prices of materials, and the duration of work will be extended, as will many renovation companies. If you are not in a hurry to stay, you can avoid the hot season and choose to spend a less expensive season, such as winter, where the wages of workers and the cost of materials will be cheaper and the work schedule will be earlier, with considerable savings。
Don't wrap it all up for the renovation company
Many of the company's material offers have a high margin of profit, with materials that can be purchased on their own, such as tiles, floors, lamps, detergents, as much as possible, more transparent prices and savings. However, hidden works, such as utilities and waterproofing, are left to renovation companies or specialized construction teams for better quality。
Don't follow the wind into the net. It's best for you
There are a number of internet-based red-hot renovation projects, such as suspended beds, rockboard background walls, open kitchens, which are not only expensive but also not necessarily suited to your family's household and habits. For example, open kitchens, cooking and soot, are difficult to clean; suspended beds are not easy to maintain at a later stage. It is more practical than good-looking and saves a lot of money。
4. Refusal to change design plans and begin work in advance
Many people were redecorating, changing the ceiling today, changing the background wall tomorrow, changing the size of the cabinet the next day, making it more expensive and longer. It is important that designs, including water and electricity paths, furniture sizes, wall colours, configuration designs, are planned well in advance before construction starts, and that work commences after confirmation and other changes are made, otherwise it will be costly and problematic。
The key to the cost savings of the renovation is to prioritize the province, where the province is bold and where it is not. Spending money on hidden engineering, safety and durability, non-critical selections are expensive and do not blindly pursue large-scale and web-based designs that save tens of thousands of dollars while ensuring the quality of the renovation, comfort and comfort。
