How to negotiate with the decoration company

First, how to negotiate with the decoration company

Initial contact with home improvement company

At present, there are two ways for the decoration company to quote: first, the owner reports how much money to invest, and the decoration company starts to design the quotation according to the owner's requirements; Second, the owner put forward specific requirements for room decoration, and the decoration company reported how much it would cost to realize the owner's requirements.

Many consumers are willing to adopt the second negotiation method, the purpose is to prevent the decoration company from bottoming out. Consumers want the decoration company to quote first, and there is also room for counter-offer. In fact, this practice is unnecessary. The profit rate of all formal decoration companies is similar, the difference lies in the design strength and after-sales service. This will only delay the owner's own time, thus delaying the construction progress. Therefore, at the beginning of contact with the decoration company, it is best to directly explain to the decoration company how much you are going to spend and what kind of effect you want to achieve, and see if they accept it. If the decoration company agrees to undertake the owner's home decoration project, it can enter the specific design, quotation and negotiation stage.

Confirm design negotiation

After the owner and the decoration company reach a preliminary intention, the decoration company will understand the specific requirements of the owner and conduct on-the-spot measurement. Subsequently, the company will give the design drawings and a detailed quotation to the owner, and the quotation lists very specific materials and quantities. After getting this material, the owner must first look at whether the design meets his own requirements. Of course, the owner can ask the designer to explain the design scheme, such as the treatment of some spaces and the use of materials. After determining the design scheme, it is necessary to carefully review whether the price and dosage of each item in the quotation are reasonable.

Second, the decoration procedure:

Three principles to be kept in mind in decoration construction

There are three experiences worth learning from.

1: It is best to clear the package for home improvement, that is, the contractor does not package materials, and the head here is not small. Although the owner will be tired, the quality and price of materials are easy to grasp. Now the building materials market is everywhere, and the price of this one can't be discussed properly, so you can go to another one or even find the manufacturer directly. This will definitely be more favorable than the all-inclusive price. But one thing is very important, that is, we must investigate the market in advance and be aware of it. Once you need it, you can go there to buy it accurately.

2. Someone should be constantly supervised during the renovation. When clearing the package, you must have your own people to monitor it on the spot. First, if you need any small materials temporarily, you can buy them immediately without delaying workers' construction; The second is to help the decoration team as an assistant, help clean up the garbage and help clean up; Third, what problems and suggestions can be put forward and improved in time (of course, the premise is that the owner should reasonably adjust the relationship between work and family). If it is difficult for you to get out, you should also pay someone to supervise.

3. Although the construction contract was signed before the renovation and the salary was agreed, the owner still needs to discuss with the on-site construction personnel. Before construction, you must take out complete drawings, including plane, elevation and specific dimensions.
