"Beware of Decoration Traps"
Originally wanted to travel today, there was something wrong with the steel mill. Because of my friend's business, I ran with her for a day, full of emotions, and I plan to write it out, so that people who don't understand decoration can step on less pits.
My friend has a two-story beauty salon with more than 600 square meters by the sea, and construction began on September 1 last year, and was originally completed on December 31. But she paid 50 percent of the renovation money, took only the electrical wiring, did some civil work, and cut off the space with red brick cement. (The back is to do waterproofing, tile work, carpentry, ceiling, wall white) that is, it took 5 months to do only about 1/4 of the workload. After the decoration company got 200,000 yuan, it only arranged two people to grind foreign workers at the construction site.
Fifteen years ago, I was engaged in the decoration industry for eight years, and I was a bit away from this industry. I contacted her in advance and took her to the decoration materials market to find friends who were doing business together to understand the market. The payment method and penalties for breach of contract were asked about the general situation. Bricklayers, carpentry man-hours and materials situation. The answer is that the material does not rise much, but the labor is much more expensive. I also made an appointment with two companies to come and see the work on the spot before and after the Lantern Festival. Many migrant workers generally do not return until the fifteenth day of the first month.
At 4 p.m., I accompanied my girlfriend to meet the owner of the renovation company, because the office of the epidemic company had been withdrawn, so the interview place was set at his home in Tiger Beach. To be honest, this Anhui boss is very tasteful, emblem decoration style. The decoration is also very tasteful, the man also has long eyebrows, fat head and big ears, and soon I found out that he is not a human being, playing tai chi, shirking responsibility, and even three times saying that you can find someone else to do. If you continue to work, you continue to pay, verbally promised to complete in 2 and a half months, but can not be implemented on paper.
In the car I roughly looked at the contract, payment method 5/3/2. The liquidated damages are one in ten thousand per day, and what I learned today is 3/3/1, one to two thousandths (which can be negotiated between the two sides), so he has a rogue face. Five hours of conversation is a waste of time, the girlfriend wants to finish it quickly, if the 600 square is rented, how much will it lose? The girlfriend left angrily. The party that was originally active became passive. I talked to him a few more words, and he meant that he was not afraid of litigation now, a leper dog's face...
Spring has begun, and it is the season of decoration again. So I would like to say that if you want to decorate the best stores around, you must first find someone who understands the terms. Pay attention to the payment method, leave some warranty money, and take the initiative into your own hands. Second-hand small work can be contracted, but the decoration is best if the contractor does not pack the material. Avoid shoddy charging, and take kickbacks. The premise is that you should also know more about the decoration materials.
Decoration can be an art of regret, but it can't be an intellectual humiliation for insiders and laymen!
(It was learned afterwards that the decoration company had a poor reputation in Dalian, never made repeat customers, and had gone bankrupt.) ）
