Renovation of an apartment is not an easy task, requiring both physical and financial costs. Let's turn to the latter, since one of the important factors in the renovation of an apartment is its cost. Self-assessment of repair work is a rather difficult process. Simple rules will help to facilitate the calculations:
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the level of work: cosmetic or major repairs, change of decoration or redevelopment. It also includes the desired quality, terms, place of repair - high requirements, high price.
Step 2
Draw up a design project. The designer, taking into account your wishes, will develop a scheme for the future apartment: a plan for arranging furniture, placing electrical equipment and plumbing, ceiling, walls and floor, taking into account the floor covering. The design project will help you calculate the cost of materials and work. Engaging an experienced designer will help you avoid mistakes in budgeting and during the renovation process. However, you can draw up a design project yourself.
Step 3
Decide on the performers of repair work in your apartment. The cost of the repair directly depends on who will carry out the repair. This can be a qualified, officially working team of finishers, or novice finishers who offer their services quite inexpensively. While leaning towards the choice of cheaper labor, do not forget about the possible danger - unskilled workers can offer dubious quality repair services, in which case the money will simply be wasted.
Step 4
The age of the house and the type of construction also determine the calculation of the amount of repair work. In new houses, repairs will be much cheaper, in old ones - correspondingly more expensive.
Step 5
Decide on the price level for finishing materials. which you can afford. Purchase of consumables and finishing materials - costs that are included in the total cost of repair work. It can be elite and even exclusive materials, as well as fairly inexpensive and practical.
Step 6
Be sure to take into account in the estimate for the repair the consumables required at the preparatory stage of the repair work (primers and putties, adhesives, wires, dry mixes, etc.). They must be of decent quality, as they can have a significant impact on the quality of the finish. Keep in mind that calculations for repairs carried out on the basis of a preliminary design project give an error of 2-5%, without a project - the accuracy of the project is 2-3 less.
