Low bid for a price of 12% to promote "private market"

What is a private order? When designing new homeowners, the decoration company’s designers or other employees are temptation to reduce the price of the works, and the decoration works that should have been signed with the formal decoration companies are transferred to the private construction team for construction. The decoration project of Mr. Li’s house, which lives in a certain area of ​​Wusi North, is a private order made by the designer. He said: "Before the start of work, I hesitated for a long time. The half-package price offered by the decoration company was more than 60,000 yuan, and their designers found me that as long as 40,000 yuan, they also included the design fee, but also guaranteed to be original. Class workers construction."

A private ticket is usually offered at a price as low as 12%, and it is the cost reduction for the decoration owner. This part of the owners hopes to choose a protected brand decoration company when they are decorating, but hesitates to see the company’s offer because of the higher prices. At this time, the company’s employees found the owners privately, opened the conditions for price cuts, and the preferential prices made them abandon the decoration company.

Private list to find the door "guerrilla" decoration water

Mr. Weng was a project manager of a brand home improvement company. He disclosed that the decoration company must maintain the normal operation of the company. Basically, 30% to 40% of each item is the gross profit of the company, and the gross profit of some small decoration companies is about 25%. . It is understood that in general brand decoration companies, a half-million-dollar package project, the designer may get only 1,000 yuan bonus. Different private orders, the industry is popular in the designers by 10% commission, 10 million project money means 10,000 yuan in commission.

The 10,000 yuan commission is implicit, and the owner is unaware of it. And many designers just simply take "design of private orders", the company is generally 50 to 150 yuan per square meter, they only 20 yuan / square meter price, ordinary three-bedroom is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan fee. Such high profits drive young designers to love private orders.

Mr. Weng said that "private orders" have become an important factor that has caused "guerrillas" to become "active" in the decoration market. Some "guerrillas" have reached agreements with designers of regular home improvement companies. Designers receive a high return of up to 10%, and "guerrillas" will in turn purchase high rebates from purchase materials and buy back a lot of "moisture". Materials... A series of chain reactions brought about a crisis of confidence in the decoration industry.

Of course, the quality of the project can hardly guarantee problems.

Cheap private orders bring high risks

“After smuggling orders by owners, the easiest to encounter is the quality of decoration.” Many responsible persons in the home improvement company stated that after the designer and construction party received the private order, they could not get the main material from the company and would go outside. In the building materials market, the materials used are basically the cheapest, and there are 9 blocks that do not use 10 blocks. Therefore, the quality of construction materials purchased by private individuals is generally problematic, but consumers have no practical experience and cannot identify the quality of building materials.

In addition to the existence of “tricky” in the purchase of building materials, the construction party of the smuggling order often reduces the number of processes during construction. The owner who has no experience in decoration is also unable to self-test. "After signing a formal contract between the owner and the home improvement company, the home improvement company will send quality inspections and inspection inspections during construction. The owner of the smuggling order will lose this guarantee." In addition, the construction process lacks necessary supervision and waterproofing. Pipeline and other hidden projects are easy to lay hidden dangers.
