Apartment repair. Stages of Construction and Repair Works

What are the stages of complex apartment renovation? With what it is necessary to begin the first, and what stages of apartment repair should be left to the very end of the repair process (although, as we know, repairs like perfection have no end and limit). In this article, we will indicate the main stages of repair in your room or apartment.

Doing repairs ourselves or hiring a team

I do not insist that the repair stages described in this article are canonical, and you need to follow them firmly on your hard way. No, not at all (in this article I will give some advice on repair and construction). These stages of repair are classic, and through them it is necessary to pass both to the professional and to the beginner who begins his first repair of alya- "Do it yourself." You can safely adjust the stages of your repair, but as the practice shows below, the most optimal and convenient course of work is shown. I highly recommend that you follow the repair stages described below, and then, no doubt, your work will go easy, there will be a minimum of marriage and errors, etc.

Apartment renovation project and design development

Of course, any such process, like apartment repairs, and construction in general, have their logical beginning. So where does the repair in the apartment begin? With the purchase of materials, cement and wallpaper? Well, of course not. The first stage from which any apartment or rural renovation begins is the development of the project. The stage of the project includes also the stage of preparation of the interior of the room and the development of the future design of your apartment. At this stage you can refer to a professional designer and interior artists. As a rule, such specialists are sufficient in the staff of any construction firm. The designer taking into account your preferences and wishes will develop the basic concept of the apartment and prepare the project.

Reshaping the apartment

At the project stage, it is extremely desirable to understand for yourself whether you will be re-planning the apartment, cutting concrete walls, expanding the openings already available in your home, making new openings and openings in the wall. If you decide to redevelop the apartment in advance, take care of the project agreement. You can try to coordinate the project yourself (note that the reconciliation process may itself be a very long and expensive process) or contact the companies specializing in the market for redevelopment and reconciliation. Remember, to be engaged in re-planning and its subsequent coordination in different instances should only competent and knowledgeable people.

Calculation of works, calculation of the cost of repairs

How much will it cost to repair an apartment entirely, what is the cost of finishing materials, the price of the project and the services of the designer ... The material part of the project is the most important part of the initial stage of the euro or a standard apartment renovation.

The financial-cost part of the repair includes the compilation of estimates and the calculation of the cost of repairs that are to be performed for high-quality repairs and finishing of the premises. If the estimate is not you, but the foreman of a construction firm, then the estimated process includes an agreement with the owner, that is, with you, the repair costs that are coming. The budget of your project for repairing an apartment, even without a foreman, you can determine for yourself, and, in the future, start from this budget when selecting materials.

Furniture in the apartment. Interior items

If you trust your taste, then the furniture of the apartment is yours. However, making a qualitative repair, in my opinion, to choose a competent concept of furniture installation in an apartment and an interesting color solution is capable only of a professional. Make a typical apartment after repair apartment with a twist, believe me, for a professional designer is not difficult. Yes, of course, the cost of the services of professionals in this area is quite high and you can not address them to such specialists only. And if you are confident in your design abilities, go ahead! No fancy and boring decor, give unique solutions for apartment design! However, I would like to emphasize once again that it is not difficult for an interior designer to make your apartment refined, to emphasize its every corner, opening and edge.

Selection of materials

It is very important that the selection of materials for the repair of your apartment is handled by a qualified specialist. The construction market and the market of finishing materials is extremely wide, and the prices for the same, in principle, the product can vary by several times. Calmly assess your qualifications in the selection of materials. If you are not in this business, it is much more reasonable to turn to a professional. With the right approach to choosing materials, buying consumables and decoration materials, you can not believe, even save. To help novice repairmen there are dozens of construction and repair companies that provide services for consulting and selection of materials for repair. Please note that without a profile education to understand all the numerous types and brands of glue, dry tile and plaster mixtures, silicone and waterproof sealants, gypsum board, solvents and gypsum - you will get it right.

Repair Work

The next stage of repair of the apartment begins repair work. This is largely the main stage during the repair work, it includes the repair of your apartment or premises. Preparing the workplace, tearing off old wallpaper, dismantling superfluous structures and preparing scaffolding are just a few of the works that include this stage of building and repairing an apartment.

In short, this stage of repair includes all standard repairs, as well as works related to the installation and installation of auxiliary structures, as well as clearing the workplace and preparing the front for repair work.

Windows, doors, floor in the apartment

When all the major stages of apartment renovation are over you only need to choose windows (PVC plastic panels or wooden euro windows), determine the type of their opening and closing mechanisms, and choose new doors, if during the repair you planned to replace the door structures completely. The last thing is to repair the floor. If necessary, align the old floor, or completely replace it, lay the covering: laminate, floor tile, parquet or linoleum.
