Promoting the standardized and healthy development of the decoration industry is the foundation for consumers to avoid pitfalls.
In general, the access to the decoration industry lacks clear institutional requirements, and the service standards are not yet clear.
The standardized management of systematic science needs to be further strengthened.
Owning a house is the starting point for living and working in peace and contentment.
Then decorate the interior of the house according to your own wishes, which carries people's richer and more realistic yearning for a better life.
In recent years, repeated epidemics have allowed people to spend more time with their own houses, and many people have put the improvement of living quality on the family agenda.
According to media reports, after the epidemic in Shanghai in the first half of this year, there was a wave of improvement. Some families wanted to replace their houses with larger areas to make the living space more open. Many people chose to renovate and renovate their slightly old houses.
Under the background of "housing is not for speculation", people are no longer keen to buy more houses for investment as in the past, but use funds to improve their own houses.
In addition to changing from small to large or to areas that are more suitable for living needs, some people choose to invest more money in the upgrading of their home environment.
What kind of renovation experience have you had?
People are constantly complaining about the decoration industry: there are a lot of "tricks" here.
There are a lot of decoration pit avoidance guides circulating on the Internet to help you avoid pitfalls when dealing with the foreman.
Even if they choose a slightly larger decoration company, legal workers still have to guide consumers to avoid the traps in the decoration contract.
Perhaps the biggest pain point encountered by consumers is that they are requested to add items by the decoration company. Some of the additions outside the contract are reasonable, some are related to the unreasonable design and careless measurement of the decoration staff in the early stage, and some are malicious. Additions.
In order to promote sales, some decoration companies or decoration teams under-reported or under-reported the construction area, or deliberately omitted or omitted some key items in the contract, all in order to reduce the overall budget at the initial stage, and then increase the quotation after the start of construction.
There are also decoration companies that add items to consumers without permission, and inform that this project must be done in order to achieve the purpose of overcharging.
Faced with the problem of adding items, consumers should ask in advance whether there will be any follow-up items, and ask the decoration personnel to control the added items within a certain range.
In addition, it should be required that changes or additions to the decoration require the signature and consent of the owner before they can be carried out.
Overdue renovations are also common.
According to a survey by the Shell Research Institute, half of the households participating in the survey encountered the problem of not delivering the decoration on the time agreed in the contract.
In addition to the failure of decoration products and materials to be in place in time, the reasons for the overdue are many because the management level and craftsmanship of the decoration company are insufficient, or the need for rework.
Most of the decoration has been completed. Even if it is overdue, many consumers can only wait helplessly.
When signing the contract, the consumer should agree on the completion time with the decoration team, and stipulate that if it is overdue due to the factors of the decoration company, it needs to be liable for compensation.
Nowadays, many decorations are in the form of whole packages, and some decoration materials or supplies are also provided by decoration companies.
At this time, consumers need to try their best to determine the brand with the decoration company, so as to avoid the decoration party using the agreed materials out of stock and replacing them with similar products as shoddy products.
Renovation contracts must also prevent "word games".
For example, the decoration party may propose that the length of various parts is less than an integer number to be calculated as an integer, and the length of more than an integer meter is calculated as a linear meter.
According to this agreement, for example, the length of 3.2 meters will be calculated as 4 meters, which will undoubtedly increase the cost.
Similar ambiguous calculations should be avoided, and an agreed-upon algorithm should be written into the contract.
Like me, you may be no stranger to decorators who are soliciting business next to signs such as "change water to electricity" and "brush Dabai" at the door of the furniture and building materials market.
With the advancement of urbanization and the rapid development of the real estate market, the market size of my country's home improvement industry continues to grow.
The decoration and decoration industry has made great progress, and some well-known brand decoration and decoration enterprises have also emerged.
However, in general, the decoration and decoration industry presents the characteristics of "big industry and small enterprises", and the industry is relatively fragmented.
Most of the decoration companies are local enterprises, and even most of the decoration projects are completed by the foreman with a small construction team. The number of chain home improvement companies accounts for only about 10%.
At present, the decoration industry still has problems such as low concentration, lengthy supply chain and irregular process.
Promoting the healthy development of industry norms is the foundation for consumers to avoid pitfalls.
Guidance and regulation of the industry should be intensified.
Many of the people engaged in the home improvement industry are small and micro enterprises or individual workers. They are in a state of lack of organization and scattered sand, which brings certain difficulties to industry regulation and market supervision, and is also the root cause of market chaos.
We have observed that some cities have introduced management measures for interior decoration, but in general, there is a lack of clear institutional requirements for the entry of the decoration and decoration industry, and service standards are still unclear.
Therefore, the scientific and standardized management of the entire industry needs to be further strengthened.
