There is no better topic for general conversation, than repair. When there are men, they are arguing about cars, football and politics. Women talk about their children. But if the table together for two or three couples, the conversation itself comes to repairs. This topic everyone is interested. On this everyone knows. Someone a long time can not be resolved, someone has just finished and is giving its architect, touts his brigade, tells where and how you can cheaply order oak doors. For survivors of repair there is no greater pleasure than to give advice. There is no better topic for general conversation, than repair.

Someone a long time can not be resolved, someone has just finished and is giving its architect, touts his brigade, tells where and how you can cheaply order oak doors. For survivors of repair there is no greater pleasure than to give advice. And already the wife begins to paint a picture of a new life in an updated apartment, whining children: who will have more room and the main investor - the husband - I think, where would take a couple extra thousand. Renewal of the table causing the stories about friends who have two years experience can not finish the repairs. " These bedolagi live among dusty bags of cement, workers scurry around the house, something podstukivayut somewhere screw up. "When, finally, it's over!" - Not easy without masochism due to the owner changes so flat that, after this nightmare for another three years to talk about all the repairs flour. And it turns out that none of it is not flour. First, the husband and wife together make forays into the shops in search of new furniture. Gradually, the husband goes the distance, and then the wife takes command of themselves. From the quiet housewife she has become a hard head and did spend untapped talent manager. She obkladyvaetsya magazines on interior. She meticulously examines the estimates for each bought a nail, she remembers all the cracks, it is seven times causes repaint the wall. Workers love it, and feared. Repair - is its finest hour. Sometimes it seems that the repair - it is forever. That we are born, when workers began to strip off old wallpaper, went to school when line the walls, got married, choosing tile. That by the end of life will be changed door handles and carry telephone jacks. But one day it ended. In the evening the family gathers in the living room where children have already pulled all my lego, and admires for wondrous beauty. They are happy. And for the sake of the happiness you can donate a year agonizing, agony and temporary inconvenience. The most important thing - that house was fine. On the other side of the fence builder look at the process of repair is always different from the view of the customer. More interesting to look at the situation "on the side of the barricades." And then, communication with the builders an opportunity to get information about someone else's experience accumulated in the form and, consequently, not "stepping on rakes, which can be circumvented. Our interlocutor - the director of construction firm, with nearly eight years of experience, Vladimir Golubkov. For example, I decided to renovate the apartment, what should I do in the first place to start? Let us define. Maybe we should not talk about people who are able to hire a manager who will be constantly engaged in the repair and carry out all communication. And we're not going to take those who are going to plaster the wall itself and stick wallpaper. Take the middle class, that is, those who are going to organize the process and do not want to give control over them in the wrong hands. First, you must decide what you want to get a result. At least a first approximation. I mean the location of the premises, their destination (where the nursery, where the bedroom and so on). What do you want to finish what windows which doors, furniture, appliances and so on. That is, in the early to determine any even approximate target. Next need to find a designer - the person or organization that will make the project (the project includes the design project and a set of technical documentation, up to the specifications of nails and electrical outlets). There is a choice. There is a separate engineering firms that are not associated with construction firms, engineering firms is that part of the construction firms, as we have. The second option, in principle, better, because in the first version you get a project to continue under this project you're looking for builders. Due to the fact that each project organization, design studio gives them only proper set of documents (because there is no uniform set), then immediately there are problems between the ligaments of the project organization and construction. Ligament problems and the possibility of the problem? Problems to the possibility of what they drew. In concrete construction? Yes. Accordingly, you then will bind one and other. And here very often conflicts are possible, and we've already had. Come to the customer and said that I have my own designers. Naturally, since we do not know this designer, respectively, we must carefully review all that he gave us. After that, we give a list: we need more. Typically, once a conflict arises. The designer says: "Builders want too much, so I drew them here, apparently, incompetent builders." Builders say: "Dear customer, you, in general, cheated, they gave you the picture but did not give any working drawing - something on which you can build." The first conflict arose. And you stand before a choice: what to do next, because the designer you've already paid, no return or pay extra to him that he did under these builders drawings, or look for the following construction. Not the fact that there will not be the same, most likely - will be because of the unreasonable demands of builders, in principle, does not happen. Nobody will require him to paint the technology of laying ceramic tile, screwing, screwing drywall to the posts, but as a rule, all builders understand that architects are given a certain common schema, and then in the process of its complement. That is, the so-called supervision, which are baked all architects - it is nothing like correcting our own mistakes, which ponadelal in the design process. If the project is done correctly, and everything is made and the customer in the process does not change anything, the architect for the facility is not needed. He did everything, all wrote: This outlet is located on the wall at such a distance, here - on this fact, the index of rosette-so, the firm-supplier - so and so. Everything. Wire is suitable for her-so, the machine-so. Everything is there. Do not need anything more from him. Most often, the architect makes a kind of concept, and then, during the repair, 3-4-5 months, running around and says: "Oh, no, this outlet is not here. Oh, let's carry over here. How it will look?" That would be so to watch. " Naturally, there is another conflict, because the builders say: "Dear, we have laid down in the estimates: the wire - a fact, jack - so and so, we installed it, we have the work done." Next he says: "Put it to 2 inches to the side, because it is not symmetric with respect to chandeliers. Builders say: "Well," and bring the customer dopsmetu: "Dear, we suffer at the request of the architect." Again the conflict. Therefore, when the architectural firm and construction firm located in tandem - the best option. Fewer potential conflicts, less hassle for the customer, and the responsibility is in the same hands. And the level of understanding above. The relationship between architects and builders do not "go" to the customer, it is not the kind of arbitrator between them, it is no longer interested. That is better to look for the designer, who works with specific builders? Even if the construction company is not a designer, then as a rule, there are design offices, with whom they work. Oh, and go on to the builder. Or by the designer to the builder? But then it is necessary at a stage when choosing a firm to get acquainted not only with the architect, but also with builders, with whom he works, to meet their quality, with their objects. Because it may well be that the designer of your suit, and builders - no? But builders can not make it to the level that you expect. And very often we are faced with precisely such an approach, because for many designers today are not the main apartment. Were the main shops, pavilions, some large objects, respectively - it involves strings on some more serious construction companies, namely construction, not finishing. And here clearly: the builder of dressers can not be, as I - finisher - never go to the builders. Two big differences. Accordingly, if you watch the architect, once to watch it a bunch of finishers and find out everything about these dressers. Next. You went this way. Somehow you choose from a dozen companies three, more appropriate, according to your notions. Three firms - the classic version. What else besides the quality criterion of Builders and interesting work of the architect? Of course, price. The price for the design work and the price for finishing work. It is very difficult to give any specific recommendations, since in principle all prices are in roughly the same, if you are not to go to some cool design studio, a sort of nominal design bureau. There's the price you will have twice as above. And the approach is quite different. If you come into some serious, just a studio, the architect of all will he do, and he consulted with you will not. If you polezesh in his case, say that I do not like this tile, it'll just send ... Why? Because he is the author, and any attempt on his authorship as part of the customer, and with any other party, he will not tolerate. He said that this should be so, there should be an orange tiles with a blue background - die, at least say what you from this headache ... Less eminent firms have, of course, a more flexible attitude to the customer, they can not afford that, perhaps, would like, but can not. Although here, too, every customer must understand that we can not completely dictate the architect the whole style, because it will be the design of the customer. Then why did he come to a specialist? That is the task of the architect - to listen to you all what you want, your crazy wishes, all, all, all - I want here is such that. Plus, each of our customers comes with a bundle of magazines "Salon" and yet with something, shows: "I like it, it is - wonderful. Designer understood. Next he begins to cut off the excess - that does not fit with this style, with a sort of concept. The designer develops the concept of your own apartment, based on your wishes, that is, he understands that you like, and naturally, it appears certain image. Further any intervention of the customer in this way is possible in certain limits: the designer is no longer say that here only this kind of wallpaper - no, he is in any case will give a choice, but choice is very limited. Let us return to the project. What should I tell the designer? You must tell all, in principle, all that you, anyway, do you want in this apartment. At the first meeting you should say absolutely everything, even the most crazy ideas. The designer should fix it all. No matter how it's structured? No, I spill everything, even some crazy things - the birdhouse on the roof, which will lift to go. Anything. You should do it. The task of the designer - to understand, to give some structure and remove the excess. I must at the very first stage of work with a designer to say how much I have as much money as I am willing to spend on repairs? Desirable. But this is only possible if the designer works with a construction firm, that is, you have to put them is the problem: Dear Sirs, I have now done a certain amount of money ... That is correct, in general, the question? Yes, this is the correct formulation of the question, but because of a mistrust of our citizens to builders, they do not do this and think - what if they are given for the money less than you. In fact, in the end, we come to the same, but on the other hand, and with much greater loss of time. If the customer immediately specifies: "I have a 30000, here to fit your project and finish, and doors, and plumbing," - this is the best formulation of the question, but it is extremely rare. But generally, if the customer still has resorted to tender and choose the best price ... And you can choose differently. And each of the firms say that it is the money will do. This is the best option, but so far it is not. In the West - there clearly. Here I have a certain budget. I need to do something, something, something and something else there. It should be finished apartment in which to live and which should match my requirements. This suit? Your order. Do not run out? Not your order. Standard turns vice versa? The customer waits for him to bring the prices, and begins to choose? Yes, he waits until he will bring the price begins to something to try to discover, select, cut. Often cut off some key design points, because the designer does not having any idea about the budget. Here we have recently had a case: we did a great design, great design, but the price for such a repair was twice more than he could afford the customer, that is practically empty, we do the work. What happens next? The customer is very like the design, but such money he does not. He says: "Let's simplify a little here, will not natural parquet and laminate flooring, let's cut off from here - will not be like doors and such." Yes, as a result of such a cut we will come to its price, but from an image that is created by a designer, there was nothing left. Need to immediately put the frame. Otherwise, get an anecdote. He came into the store to buy a Mercedes for the whole "Mercedes" money is not enough, let's remove the door. How much will it cost? There is not enough. Let's take - hood. A wheel and put a smaller engine is simpler, from the "plows". Great! The price we fit, but the blows. And, in general, does not go. The wheels are small, the exhaust pipe hit the asphalt. What's next? Is not it easier to go to a salon, "Mazda" and buy "Mazda" for the money? She rides. If translated into more understandable language, this is the case. I can do without the project? You can do without the project, if you do not do any redevelopment. If you need me just finish. And in this case, you yourself go, buy all, but it's usually option buildings. There need not project, and consultation with designer. Need any necessary drawings, for example, in electrical engineering, which is always changing. Who makes them? Builders, of course. Scheme for the plumbing, if carried santehpribory - that from a customer in this case will require some more time, because, as he buys the materials, he partly takes the role of the designer, architect and designer. Hence, it should be at the facility: wallpaper-such - yes, bordyurchik - here at such a height from the floor, showed the builders stuck. Do not like it, remade. But this rarely happens. Because, as a rule, none of the customers are unaware that what he thought - he did not like. Or, say, a tile size of 15 to 20, and the wall at us - not a multiple of 15. He should say why he had to do warm up, where he cut the tiles on which side. Or, for example, a trivial case - the door frame has a certain thickness and the wall thickness is another. Designer knows: he has the wall thickness - 66 plus 12, - the thickness of such a thing to do? Need to order delivery to that box, or order custom box, or order custom frames. He knows this in advance, and the customer that can not know. Naturally, there are such things, so he has to happen very often. His foreman, who is the object, calling: "Dear Peter Petrovich, doors that you bought is not suitable because they are higher than the opening that was there. Yes, you had before you buy, ask us to size gap ". What do we do? Pyotr Petrovich thinks and says: "And let's cut off the door bottom." We say: "Well, broken door design, and we do not take this job, because then you show us the claim. It is impossible." He says: "I will find someone" - and takes these doors. Here is a carousel. Very strong nerves to be a customer. The choice of builders, as I understand it, boils down to a choice between building and repair firm, and shabashniks, which the market is working quite a lot. What is the difference, and whom to choose? Contract. Yes. None. It's very simple. Electrician. Plumbing.

Very strong nerves to be a customer. The choice of builders, as I understand it, boils down to a choice between building and repair firm, and shabashniks, which the market is working quite a lot. What is the difference, and whom to choose? If you have a flat - in the old fund, built in the early centuries, and you choose certain shabashniks on Center-plus "or" Advertising-chance ", then you're just crazy, and it is already diagnosed. What is really the fundamental difference between shabashniks and construction firm? The fact that the construction company - is a structure that has a more extended range of services and can take on more serious projects, rather than shabashniki. And as to the responsibility of things here and there? Responsibility for shabashniks, you know, no, because he came, did, and - farther, and if you have something to dump, what will you do? And with the construction company that you do? Contract. There is a warranty. That is a fundamental difference in the presence or absence of a treaty, which allows you to then claim the alterations? Yes. This is the first. Secondly - in the power company, and this affects the speed and quality of work, the third - in reliability, because you can see how much the firm exists, talk with her old customers, watch its history, see its facilities and so on. Shabashniki cheaper? None. It is a paradox. We follow the situation on shabashniks and was surprised to find that the prices are sometimes higher than ours, and significantly. And because of what? It's very simple. When shabashniks completes one object, not the fact that he will immediately receive the following. Him to make money still needs to be "between objects." And then, the difference here between a single-piece production cars and conveyor. Clearly, the conveyor car cheaper. For example, I chose a designer and builder, they gave me a project. What next? More builders should give you an estimate. By the way, as far as I know, shabashniki almost never give an estimate and do not call the final price of the materials, even if it is known. In shabashniks in practice it looks like. To you comes the foreman and said: "Repair the flat - no problem. Come on, we're all a quick break, it will cost, say, $ 200." Broke. "You see here the pipe hanging - you need to quickly bring the heat, will cost 500 dollars." Done. "Correct you a wall - another 300 dollars," and so on. The customer then so is drawn into this fever, which sometimes simply can not keep track of how much money he has spent a whole. Mentality of the average citizen is still set up so that he does not want to see the final sum of the whole project. If he has today, $ 500 person comes to him and said that for the money he would do so-and-so, our man gladly gave the money. And then another and another, eventually the price is much higher than planned by the customer. And builders always know an estimate? We give always. And as far as I know, other companies - as well. What should be in the budget? It is important that estimated you could track the necessary steps. There are several kinds of estimates. Estimates, which are first materials, then painted all the works, then go to overhead, profits, etc., etc., etc. - and you can kind of sum is finite. This is the worst-case scenario estimates, because you're on this estimate can not track down any steps. Do you have a common set of operations. When he was done, how it is done? You can either ask him to schedule and track? Yes, you can. But financially you can never keep track of at what stage you are: you are overpaid or underpaid you, or you gave them so much money that they should be enough for the week ahead. Always need to find some middle ground, you should always hedging themselves, that is not to give too much ahead. This is reasonable. Therefore, must always be stages, estimates should also be divided into some steps: execution of works and the amount of binding, and binding of payment for these works. The works - you pay for them. The estimate should reflect the cost of each stage of the work? Necessarily. This should be clearly viewed. And you should know you have all of this show, it should be fixed on paper, in the same estimates, the payment schedule, the schedule of work: that when you are taking, what steps, like pay for them. Let's say, did a black floor - preparation for laying hardwood floors. This is the stage, you come, you look: yes, it's done. Pay. Should be clear criteria for acceptance? This is a more complicated question. Still, if you're not going to stop repairing the middle, then you must be an expert to realize that "black" half of you have made qualitatively. How, then, to take steps? To take steps? What is done in principle. Quality - yes, obvious flaws will be visible when you walked across the black floor, and he hangs out and squeaks, it is clear that with parquet floor, too, will squeak. How do you not say that it will strengthen the parquet, no, then the squeak will be even worse. For what it's still important? Anything can happen in life. You've run out of money, you must at some stage to stop the construction. Is it? Often. When you have all divided into small steps, you see it all. You understand that you have completed this step, you dwell on it, pay it and canned the year. Or you can see that the firm can not handle the job. Thanks - found another. You've got - a clear picture, you know that this stage has been completed. Later on these stages can be traced very clearly as possible. You have written that "black" sex should be ready by April 1. You come April 1, and there you have another hole instead of flat. You say: "Guys, where" black "sex?" They say: "Tomorrow will be." You say: "Okay. If tomorrow will not we have a contract penalties." Application materials - is also a nuance. Difficult, but you can still keep track of whether builders used those materials which are incorporated in the estimates. You must be disclosed at first, should be clearly written that applies, for example, filler such and such a firm, cement, cement mixture - a certain company. The repair process started. What problems are possible here? If the terms are met, that material is used, which should look like working out pretty well, so if he came in the evening on your property, you are not found in the farthest room, storage bottles, then, in general, everything is fine. Necessarily be required, and this must be agreed that there should be a list of works that you are taking the builders. Covert operation. This is mandatory. Electrician. Spent, they then have to close it, you come, you look: yes, such a cable, held such-and-marking is all there is - close. Although it does not absolve the builders responsible for warranty and for the performance of the system. Plumbing. You have copper pipes laid, soldering, then cross. All there is - was closed. Nowhere nothing flows. Although this concern for builders, because if something came out after being laid tile, then the builders of a disaster, because then buy all the remake, and so on. In principle, any company can make mistakes. It is very important as it reacts to these errors, as they perceive it. Do not hang them on the customer, and normally fixes - this is important. More than any of these pitfalls is not. Tip: You do not need to change in the process of repairing some things that have been made in the project, it is very dangerous. Money terms. It is better to look at the design stage that you will be in the apartment. At what things should be given the warranty and what? On the plumbing, an electrician, what else? It must be pointed out already in the express warranty from the company, how it will react to what, in her understanding that the guarantee obligation. I understand that everyone is different. Is there a more or less sensible scheme: that the customer need? He must agree with the builders, that during the warranty year, when suddenly he had a problem some, it must specify the builders, it is desirable to fix it, how long they respond to his request and how to react, of course. It is most important. Suppose the firm has a warranty, and you flood the neighbors came out some sort of connection, called the company that you did. You say: "Okay." A month passed, years have gone ... Neighbors complain. You say: "Yes, of course, we do not give up." Therefore, in the contract it should be very specific. And there is the concept of "damage to property of others, as in the car? We are now beginning to practice insurance. To date, insurance has already developed, it is already possible to insure the liability to third parties, some more things. And now it has to be done. Last time - acceptance. Repairs completed. The contract with the builders should be clearly defined criteria that determine the quality of work performed. The more specific they are, the less conflict, the easier everything will be taken? Everything is possible. Then it will be a book. There are some criteria, common sense. If you come and see what you have baseboard departs at half a centimeter, you touch it, he hangs out - it is clear that you need to do. Or you come to the door, opened it, and you have it slammed back on their own - hence, all crooked. There is a contract and have common sense - that is enough.
