When you take over this decoration, you should have the following concerns:
1. After all, you haven't really implemented the decoration design. Decoration design is not as simple as drawing a construction drawing and an effect drawing. Grasping the overall construction is a big project. In the design process, you should not only consider the "good-looking" factor, but also consider many factors such as cost, convenience of use, technology and your control of materials, among which cost is a very important factor. For example, you need to know his budget for kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom, and then design according to his budget.
For these budgets, you need to visit all kinds of building materials markets accompanied by friends, understand all kinds of market conditions, and then make a budget, not by feeling, but with real data. Otherwise, when you finish loading, you will find that you have overspent 1 times or even more.
The main materials you need to know are: tiles (including wall tiles and floor tiles for kitchen and bathroom), cabinets (focusing on configuration), toilets and wash basins, floors, wall paints, wallpapers, ceilings and doors. Furniture can be considered after the main decoration is completed.
The rest of the hardware, lamps, curtains, accessories and other things can be considered in the later stage, but the position must be reserved in advance in the early design.
2. The choice of construction team is generally used by friends and colleagues. You can ask your friends to find it by themselves. The choice of construction team is also very important. If you choose badly, you may slip away.
When selecting, the emphasis is on inspecting the completed projects and projects under construction of the construction team, with emphasis on details.
There are still many problems when signing the contract. You can look at it on Focus. I won't explain it here.
3. Building technology. How to distinguish the quality of construction technology? If you don't understand it, it is impossible for the construction site to detect problems for one day. You need to know the basic construction technology, and know how the workers will fool the owners, so as to be efficient.
There are too many problems to consider in decoration. When I was decorating, I dived in the focus decoration forum for a year, but I also encountered many problems when I actually installed it. So, I think as a student, what you can do is to measure the house and give him a rendering. As for whether to adopt or not, it's up to your friend.
There is a saying in the decoration process: the money is basically spent, the decoration is basically dissatisfied, and the feelings are basically broken. So I suggest you think twice, whether to take this job, what kind of identity to cut in, what you can do, don't pretend to be fat, and finally you can't even be a friend.
I know that as a student, being able to have some practical experience is very helpful for finding a job in the future. You can learn from your friends, but don't take it personally, because this is not your home after all.
I hope these experiences will help you.
