④ If you add one to the contract, the final decoration cost will not exceed 5% of the budget, and the excess will be borne by some decoration companies.

The most important thing in the preliminary preparation process is to find a reliable decoration company. Brother Wen said the \”secret\” of an industry: some decoration companies do not support their own workers, and after signing the contract, they will decorate the cooperative construction team. In other words, no matter whether you are looking for a decoration company or a construction team, it is possible that the same group of people are working.

Is it possible to directly contact the construction team? No, the difference is quite big. The decoration company will have construction standards to restrict workers. Even if the same group of people work, the decoration company can ensure that your construction quality is better than that of the construction team and the process is more standardized.

Although the construction team is about 15%-20% cheaper than the decoration company\’s quotation, don\’t think about after-sales service or something. Although decoration companies are expensive,There are a series of quality assurances and after-sales guarantees. For example, hidden projects such as water and electricity generally have a 5-year warranty and a 2-year warranty for surface projects.

After all this, the decoration is basically over. All the family members who have seen this, please give me some tips to give me some advice. Thank you~

Lastly, let me talk about it, it is also important to plan the selection and entry time of materials. Not only do you need to understand the name and function of the materials, but also know the timing of their purchase. Buying too early will take up space, and buying too late will affect the construction progress and delay the entire decoration plan.
