The most typical kinds of decoration scams

Trap one: do it on a single area.
The general landlord is also concerned about the price of individual items. The actual area is generally a rough estimate. Actually, this area is also where the decoration company or the foreman does things. If each area is slightly increased and the single item price is high, then the quantity is as low as several hundred. As many as a few thousand went out, the final results of your bargaining had vanished and fell into a feeling of being deceived.
Lesson Two: After the individual price has been negotiated, we must not be afraid of hard work. We must measure the size of the individual items together with the decoration company or the foreman, write it down and put it on paper, and calculate how much the total price of the individual item is. Attachment of the contract to avoid worries about the size and size of the area.
Personal experience: There is a big gap between the bricks and walls of our home, at least 500 yuan.

Trap 1: Tackling the quotation provided to the customer. Under normal circumstances, the decoration company or the foreman and the owner will revise the quote 3-4 times before and after the final signing of the contract. The focus of attention will be on the unit price, area, total price and process description. If you talk about the same, the other party will Give the owner a final sample given and ask the owner to confirm and sign the contract. At this time, we must be careful not to take it for granted. As in the previous discussion, some treacherous decoration companies or foremen will do some tricks on the craft description or area, simplifying some of the craft or stealing some materials.

Lesson Two: When signing a contract, you must personally compare and verify the corresponding clauses. If you agree with the final conditions for the decoration company or the foreman to negotiate, you must not ignore any details. Do not leave any opportunities for the profiteers.

Personal experience: This was discovered by chance. The details of the exchange were numerous. For example, the shoe was originally made of nine-ply and black walnut veneer, but when it was signed, it became 3 PCT. In response to doubts, people refuted me saying that they did not understand and understood. It is one thing to have 3 PCT board and 9 PCT board. Is this really the same thing?

Trap One: The material comes in to provide inferior products. Although clearly written on the contract and quotation, what kind of material, what kind of specifications, what level of product, but some decoration companies or foremen who have a flirtatious attitude will always take the risk, and change their face to a false one, if If the owner is not careful or caring, the inferior materials will be secretly approached.

Lesson Two: When the materials come in, it is best to personally come to the scene, bring the contract and quotation, and ask the knowledgeable person or supervisor to join the acceptance inspection. And at the time of signing the contract, the foreman entering any kind of material must notify the owner or the supervisor 24/48 hours in advance. Otherwise, the responsibility of the material and the loss of work will be the responsibility of the decoration company or the foreman. We must adhere to principles. No, it will not work.

Personal experience: Due to lack of experience at the beginning, when signing the contract with the decoration company, they signed it according to the vague process instructions they provided. So on the day of the material arrival, I went to the supervision company in the morning and immediately asked a supervisor to accompany the inspection material. The results showed that none of them were qualified (according to the supervision standard). For example, the Daxin version used the e0 level (when did not say what brand or grade was used at the time), and the wire used no brand (there was no detail at the time) Say) The pipe used for the wire was a so-called pvc tube that stepped on the flat (it was not noticed at that time). Putty used 821 putty (it was said putty at that time) and the gypsum board could be broken by a pinch except for plaster. Line supervision can also be said. Even more exasperating is that cement originally used diamonds 325. The result was a silver shield that had not been heard (after the online investigation did not have this brand), so that the foreman returned to life and told me this silver Shield is 3 yuan more expensive than diamonds, and it can not buy diamonds. Although I don’t know whether the cement is diamonds or silver shields, but according to the pretender, the real diamond is 40 yuan/bag, so anyway, the diamond cement 15 yuan/bag is definitely false, let alone him. Even the diamonds are not willing to buy the Silver Shield. I wouldn’t say anything about the inferiority. His scumbags are: I didn’t tell me that the cement had changed the brand; I’d let him change his life or not, and said that he was losing money. Bought a better brand than diamonds. Since the supervisor agreed at the time, I will not change cement.

Trap one: The foreman or the worker will always send you to buy it when you are in, which is a little cheaper. In fact, many parts are counted in the project section. The decoration foreman suffers from no opportunity to slaughter the owner. Once there is an opportunity, especially when the owner purchases the contracted materials, he will always give you a list. There are not enough wires, you need 2 wooden lines, etc. Because the sub-secondary, so the owners also feel that the money is not much, returning accounts is not enough meaning, especially male owners, generally do not account.

Lesson Two: Renovation of the foreman or company will not be foolish enough to allow the owner to take advantage of his advantage, but they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. Therefore, even if such small parts are missing, the money will not be much. To buy, the account is still to be considered clear. When confronted with a foreman who is greedy and cheap, it is best to leave an invoice or receipt after each purchase.
Personal experience: because our family has a car, so especially when my lover goes to buy a building material or buy materials, the foreman will always call us and ask us to buy a dozen meters of wire, 3-4 cassettes, 3-4 What happened to the raw silk and other three links was that once we let us buy wood paint, we had a lot of scraps and pieces, and after finishing the renovation, these “small moneys” had 500 or so. |

Trap One: Advanced Materials Some advanced materials allow you to accept and accept in order to be deceived, and the owner is not involved in inferior materials. When the worker enters the field, the foreman will certainly enter a part of the material and request the owner to attend the inspection. In the beginning, according to the provisions of the contract, but it is inevitable that some black-hearted foreman, advanced some good materials, the owners do not steal some inferior materials, and some simply do not first tell the owner the decoration process, let the inferior materials used in concealed In the project.

Lesson Two: To appear on the construction site from time to time, to avoid the decoration foreman has figured out the law of your time. The supervisors are required to ask the supervisor to have 1-2 times a day on the construction site. In addition, the appropriate "bribe" community guards and security, please pay attention to them, if there are batches of material appearance, then you must sign the instructions or call to ask you whether to release?

Personal experience: At that time my family entered the field was 421 putty powder, because I saw the banned, I lived and insisted on changing the United States nest easily scraped. Although the foreman promised verbally, but I asked for a week or not changed, the last anger was not enough to stay on the worksite all day ordered that must be changed today, only reluctant to change. The change was changed, but my guess was: He changed our home's 445 putty powder to another owner's home that he took over, because he said that the account had already been closed, and the foreman would throw it. 821 putty powder?


Trap one: early to mid-term, pay attention to its motivation. Just a few days after the start of the work, the foreman always said that he had to enter the material. There was no money, and the medium-term project had already arrived, urging the owner to pay the interim payment. Responsible foremen do not do this, but those who are miserable often use this trick. My family met such a liar.

Lesson Two: When signing a contract, it is best to limit the foreman through money. This has been verified many times is the most effective. Moreover, what links and standards should be provided for what money should be provided so as to avoid mutual ambiguity. The proportion of payment is best based on the proportion of 3,331, so that even if there are problems, it can be stopped in time.

Personal experience: As we have no experience, we agreed to pay in accordance with the ratio of 5:3:2 when we signed the contract. We paid 50% of the down payment, 8,500 yuan in the beginning, and paid another 30% in the middle period, and paid for the rest. 20%. So behind the passive began to appear. Before the workers entered the market, we paid 50%-8500 yuan before the feed, so when the supervisor said that 90% of the foreman's feed was unqualified, I regretted it. If I repent, the 8,500 yuan will not necessarily come back. If you don't regret to continue to let them dry, your head is not well opened. Can you guarantee the following procedures and materials? There is no way to continue to allow them to do the same with the supervisors. After working for ten days (the first three days were old things), the foreman urged us to pay for the interim payment. In fact, the door frame was just installed at that time, and the kitchen and bathroom tiles were basically finished, but the door did not enter. There were no shops in the market, kitchen and bathroom floor tiles, no paving slabs in the living room, and no walls in the balconies. The walls were not evenly leveled. The standard was far from the mid-term standard, and the procedures that had been done were far beyond the supervision standards. As for what is the medium-term standard and what is the process standard, my supervisor and foreman have worked harder. Intermediate workers do not come to work on an intermittent basis. The reason is that we don’t pay the interim payment. When we finally exhausted, we paid another 3,000 yuan to the foreman. Money began to be no one on the construction site the next day, and the foreman deceived the money and ran away. There is a picture of what they called the process.


Pitfall 1: The decoration company or foreman has "innovation" and "must" at will, requesting additional projects. Some decoration companies or foremen will deliberately abandon some obvious projects when quoting, and then “add” items after signing the contract to report the price, reminding you that you forgot to write at the time. The unit price at this time is not determined by the owner. Having said the matter, but he had the final say, and the price of the newspaper is often higher than the horizontal ratio.

Lesson Two: Before the signing of the contract, many people who have already been refurbished will be solicited, either as supervisors or horizontally compared with other refurbishment companies' quotations to see if any necessary works have been intentionally deleted. Of course, you don't want to add unnecessary items at random, because at this time, the decoration company or the foreman will always slaughter the owner.

Personal experience: Our home shoe wardrobe is done by the decoration workers, this is a good aisle and kitchen glass sliding door partition, the result is to give a single door price - 850. According to my understanding, sliding door is to include 2 doors, one push and one pull. Where is this kind of quotation, is it difficult for me to be a sliding door? At one glance, I canceled the sliding door and demanded it to be the same as the other fixed doors. As a result, the door frame near the living room was very wide. Why was it so tempting to seal it up and was it not a good display cabinet? As a result, because I cut glass sliding doors and added display cabinets (actually, if he did not show them, he sealed them by a single click), he asked the display cabinet to be calculated at 400 yuan per square meter. How much to earn.
