Repairs in the building: dreams and rationality

Becoming the owner of the keys to the long-awaited apartment in a new building, the first time experienced the euphoria and relief from ended a period of uncertainty. But down to earth quickly help to make necessary repairs. open-plan apartments and finishing are not uncommon on the market of housing under construction.

The first thing began to study the prices on various websites of companies engaged in the repair of "turnkey". They offer a holistic approach: you just reconcile the project, which makes the designer, and then repair and all purchases are handled by experts of the company. These services are not cheap, but the result surpasses all expectations. Cozy apartment as a magazine cover devoted to the interior - the dream of millions of people. However, before resorting to such services, you must turn to the voice of reason and answer the simple question: how much are you going to live in this apartment. If this is an intermediate option, as we should not order a design project, and use the most expensive decorative materials. Five years later the repair is not fresh and is not likely to create additional value in the sale of housing. The money saved is better left to the next apartment.

By adopting a rational approach, the search repair team took a turn polling friends and quickly return results. The great advantage is the opportunity to see the real results of the work, but may be minus the absence of a contract for the repair and, accordingly, a verbal agreement on the cost and timing of the works.

- well, that figure is not allowed to alter); We changed a number of tiles in the bathroom, because one type of tile was too much.

It is also quite common that repairers are versatile instrument "eye estimation," and, unfortunately, does not always give an accurate, smooth results. In addition, use was noted dislike the design drawings and diagrams. For example, it affected electricians. By specially prepared circuit breakers and sockets accommodation did not use, ask us to do the layout with chalk on the walls.

So, having passed a difficult way of repair of an apartment in a new building on a limited budget and time, we came to the conclusions:

- even if you want to save, the repair cost will be about the average market price, as the experienced repairmen too many tricks on how to increase the final cost estimates;

- need to be carefully considered in advance and plan for it to plan electrical and plumbing;
