Experts help you solve the decoration problems

Recently, Taiyuan Quality Supervision Bureau and Taiyuan Indoor Decoration Association jointly announced the results of the quality inspection of more than ten home improvement companies in the provincial capital in response to the problems of design drawings, errors in the quality of building materials, and unauthorized modification of drawings. ,

In 2010, the quality supervision department carried out quality inspections on the construction sites of various home improvement companies from time to time. The contents included design specifications, building materials quality, engineering procedures, construction safety, and site management. As a result, it was found that the provincial home improvement industry is developing in a normative direction, such as the design of home improvement plans on the construction site; cleanliness of the site and the neatness of building materials; the supervisors and supervisors can regularly enter the site to inspect and find problems on-site; hidden works and owners After the acceptance of the joint acceptance, it will enter the basic decoration stage. However, some home improvement companies still have problems with service awareness, design level, and site management. The main performances are as follows: The supervisor does not strictly control the quality of materials entering the exhibition, the designer lacks life experience, the design scheme is spurious, and the problem of missing items still exists; the construction team has not carried out construction or simplified procedures according to procedures.

Taijian City Quality Supervision Bureau Sun Jian said that due to the lack of professional knowledge, the owner was unaware of the existence and severity of problems in the project quality. It was only gradually discovered after the house had been checked in. At this time, the best time for engineering rectification had been missed. Taiyuan City Quality Supervision Department and Taiyuan City Assembly Association held a business contest, construction site quality and management inspections, is to improve the quality of the provincial capital home improvement construction company.

In 2011, the provincial home improvement industry will continue to organize activities such as designer training and quality competitions for home decoration to ensure the quality of life for home improvement consumers.

Home-installed construction site Common problems and solutions Home decoration design blueprints Flashy problem: In mid-June 2010, the home improvement project quality inspection team came to the construction site of a construction site in the provincial capital North Road. The home improvement company nailed the homeowner's home design drawings and construction drawings to the site.

The construction quality inspection team found that the project's decoration construction drawings can be marked according to the decoration design specifications for each project's procedures, dimensions, and precautions. However, in the entire design plan, there are no washing machines and refrigerators for the owner's home. The kitchen with more household appliances has only two plug holes. The main bedroom does not have reserved network broadband holes and bedside lamp sockets.

The pulse: Construction Quality Inspection Team investigated that the designer of this project had just graduated from work in 2009 and is a young man who has not yet been married. Due to the lack of life experience, the designer's design proposal lacks detailed consideration and is not practical.

Sun Jian introduced similar phenomena in the provincial home improvement industry. Especially in large-sized apartment, luxury house, villa decoration design. Home decoration designers are too perceptive about various function rooms, failing to combine the practicality and aesthetics of home improvement design in an inconvenient manner.

Solution:

1. When signing a contract with a decoration company, the owner specifies the purpose of each function room in advance and reminds the designer to reserve enough room for broadband, communication, cable, and circuit sockets in advance. Necessary home locations such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, rice cookers, and curtains are also often overlooked by young designers.

Secondly, it is recommended that young designers who have entered the industry should actively learn from designers who are experienced in life and work, and learn about the living habits and laws of single family, family of three, generations of family members and other families in various ways. Especially for high-end customers, they have high requirements for personal decoration. Designers must find out the preferences and living needs of the customers one by one, and know the location and angle of home appliances in the owner's home in order to make the design more user-friendly.

The quality of approach material was not strictly controlled: In July 2010, the home improvement quality inspection team spotted a home improvement site in a community on the north side of the construction road and found that nearly half of the walls and floor tiles that had been paved had serious cornering phenomenon. The owners are unaware of this. Workers who are laying tiles claim that the tiles the owners bought were not qualified, and they are not related to paving.

The pulse: According to the quality supervision personnel, this is a typical case of the home improvement company's irresponsibility and lack of service awareness. According to the project specifications, construction foremen, supervisors and workers all have the obligation and responsibility to carry out quality checks on incoming materials. If the landlord purchases unqualified materials, relevant personnel of the home improvement company should promptly inform the owner and negotiate with the seller to resolve the return and replacement issues to ensure that the quality of all projects is qualified.

Such incidents not only appear on tiled pavements. Home improvement companies are usually responsible only for the company’s contracted service content and building materials sold. When homeowners purchase soft furnishings, cabinets, furniture, lamps, sanitary ware and other home improvement materials, home improvement companies are often unheard of, and lack reasonable guidance and advice. Affect the quality and quality of the entire home improvement project.

Solution:

First, some home improvement companies in the provincial capital still need to further improve employee service awareness. They must communicate with owners in advance about some issues that are frequently encountered in home improvement projects. Supervisors, foremen and workers should tell the owners some common sense about purchasing building materials from a professional point of view. When building materials come into play, check them for the owners. The owner confirmed the quality of the material and used it again.

2. When the building owners purchase building materials provided by non-home improvement companies, they must choose regular products or purchase them in shopping malls with good reputation. If problems arise, they can promptly return and exchange goods. When important building materials enter the market, they must check with the workers. The dimensions, circuits, and specifications of cabinets, lamps, furniture, and bathroom products should be clearly understood in advance so that products that are not suitable for use cannot be purchased.

Home improvement company arbitrarily revise the drawing issue: In October 2010, the owner of a district of Pingyang Road, the provincial capital, reported to the Quality Supervision Bureau of Taiyuan City that the management of the decoration company was confusing and the drawings were arbitrarily changed. The owner requested that the wardrobe be placed on the west side of the bedroom and the east side wall should be simple.

During the construction process, the owner discovered that the decoration company had put a complicated decoration on the western wall where the wardrobe was placed, and all this had not been agreed with the owner. Taiyuan City Bureau of Quality Supervision Decoration Department in the handling of complaints found that the decoration company construction team to take the construction plans and design floor plan is not the same, and the drawings did not sign the designer and the project supervision department, business management there are serious problems.

Taking the pulse: During the on-site inspection of home improvement sites in 2010, most companies were able to publicize the effect maps and construction drawings of home improvement according to specifications. However, during the process of some projects, project engineering changes have occurred. Whether it is the requirements of the owners or the home improvement company to change the design or increase or decrease the project, it should be approved by both parties and signed by the owners. Solution:

First, consumers should look for qualified and regular decoration companies. At the same time, they should check the qualification certificates of designers and constructors. Many inquiries about the company's reputation, project volume and customer complaints rate.

Second, the effect chart displayed by the designer does not represent the construction drawing. The construction drawings include the general floor plan, the hidden hydropower project, and the renderings. These drawings should indicate the location, size, style, materials, etc. of furniture, kitchens, and shapes. Owners should check whether the layout, furniture and lines can meet the functional needs of life.

Third, the owner should require the decoration company to reflect the effect map and building materials budget in the contract. Try to leave the building materials samples promised by the decoration company and the small pieces of building materials actually used in the construction. In the contract, the responsibility for breach of contract is stated.
