"Subcontract" decoration undercurrent raging

The living room and other rooms of the flooring differ widely, colour, wall rugged, Yin and Yang Kok skew ...

Just decoration of Mr Cui after seeing his new home disappointed. Due to the busy, Mr. CUI site viewing is not often go, "taking into account that is acquaintance describes the decoration company, the company also has other sites community, so that less observant," Mr Cui told reporters that they find this company renovation not only because of acquaintances, but also because decoration companies in charge of the "refreshing", very much look less management fees of $ 7000, but in the face of the new House of the King "miserable," Mr Cui amnesia.

Due to the large number of quality problems, find the original Mr. Cui, undertake the renovation of the company but there is a problem with the "directly find foreman" as an excuse to reject Mr Cui maintenance requirements.

Later, Mr. CUI learned that their hands of the contract is not signed with the decoration companies, and is signed with the Ministry of XX decoration. It is clear that Mr Cui's home project were subcontractors.

It is understood that, because of the large and small domestic market share, in order to seize market share, some small companies with several designers + 1 boss + a few computers together a "decoration company", by waiving the fee, design charges low prices lure to attract consumers.

But these small company basic no fixed foreman and construction personnel, once consumers door, once the contract signed, will the entire renovation contractor subcontracts.

In small home decoration company, the subcontract is pervasive, Saint point decoration company engineering director Zhang Hong told reporters that now many decoration teams are registered as part of a decoration "," as the individual operators accept some small companies outsourcing.

General after receiving the decoration, decoration company will directly take 30% management fees, then the engineer to foreman, remaining cost of renovation carried out by a foreman, due to the foreman and the management of workers, quality check for loose, subcontractors after has the quality problem is common.

Subcontract decoration not only quality can not be guaranteed, it is very confusing construction site, the home of Mr. reporter at the CUI, decoration of the remaining sand all over the floor, kitchen repair material package is also seven vertical banners.

Due to the workers ' quality is not high, plus the foreman did not perform site management, generally does not regulate the construction of the construction team will slow after the big flood said that once the owners encounter such a situation, want and construction team, the "reasonable person" is not likely, if the landlord requires the maintenance foreman was likely used kinds of excuse for delay. If the landlord does not retain appropriate prior, foreman and workers often "vanished", no maintenance, and finally lead to the loss suffered more owners.

Seek high profits into "Sub Main"

Although secretly operating subcontract small company waving the banner of low price decoration, but these small companies finally get the profit is far more than a lot of brand home company.

Because there is no uniform material delivery, small companies cannot obtain from the main member of marketing channels, only on profit home construction on making money.

It is understood that the small companies subcontract the former General in the decoration of the total extract 30%-35% "fee", sub-contract construction team, remaining in the foreman then take 8%-10% of the profits remaining costs then spread into materials, labor, etc.

Thus, it is necessary to ensure the profitability and at low prices to attract consumers, foreman tend decoration materials.

"Small business contracts generally do not have specific decoration detail", big Hong told reporters that small companies on the use of decoration materials, construction technology is no more, because the repair material provided by the foreman, if consumers don't understand the purchase of building materials of related knowledge, was the foreman shoddy is difficult to avoid.

Zhang Hong-stressed that some consumers in a contract, not too closely examine Contracting Party b, thereby encounter and similar earlier Mr. CUI.

If a consumer is and construction team, consisting of a decoration department signed a contract, the consumer can only decoration find renovation team consultation decoration quality and after sales. Once the construction team disappeared, many consumers have to once again find "guerrilla" mess.

Quality assurance seriously missing

Due to the large number of renovation work, mobile, formal home company management of the construction personnel have only managed to foreman level, and then by the foreman, in accordance with the "who's who" of labor principle management workers, thus avoiding will increase the cost of personnel management shifted to the consumer's head, Chi yan said that while the formal home company from the formal point of view is also gave the engineer foreman, but on the foreman is in strict accordance with the company's internal administrative systems to manage.

It is understood that the regular home companies foreman in

When you receive tens to post shijiwanyuan QA of risk, and foreman to undertake a decoration, but also receive 3%-5% of the project quality assurance. "Thus, the foreman had large amount of capital mortgage company, if the quality of construction foreman, the company will be able to use this part of the financial compensation for consumers," said in Chi yan, such economic levers on the quality of construction foreman and his labor management can play a good role constraints.

Currently on the market, a number of small companies will engineer to the construction team is often only charge thousands of warranty gold, or postponed payment project fund approach to manage the construction team, this result is not satisfactory management.

If the construction team has undergone tremendous quality problems, such as water, collapsed, probably because the required payment amount far exceeds warranty gold or engineering and run away, let the landlord complaints.

Management specification of home decoration companies in order to ensure that workers in construction quality, not only to receive a large number of warranty Kim foreman, construction quality checks links in large, wide flood, inspection, quality control, supervision and other personnel in construction must be regularly to examine the record, when problems arise, call for an immediate solution to communicate with the owners, particularly subtle works, in addition to the periodic inspection records, also photographed reserves for future maintenance.

In addition, the company's Engineering Department, customer service week will also spot checks conducted jointly by the site.

In order to improve the quality of construction workers, some decoration companies also conduct regular workers ' skills competition, mutual checking site foreman.

While some are subcontractors of small companies, in order to reduce labor costs, there is little quality control, supervision and other personnel, the quality of the construction team up, workers on the new technology, new materials, more is less.

A place for many years engaged in artisanal decoration business master Ng told reporters, because there is no quality control aspect of the construction team is often a "conscience", if consumers encounter work well done, nice good foreman, the whole decoration may be easier.

But if you run into the "black heart" foreman, poor material, do not follow the normal process of construction, and so often, and many consumers have carefully inspected before renovation renovation team construction quality, many contracts are oral, "black heart" foreman ' attacks, drag the duration, the opportunity to work more.

In the event of engineering outsourcing, should first check the stoppage of work, big hung said that it would be desirable to find authoritative bodies, such as third-party supervision, check whether the qualified early construction quality, whether using a contract, if the quality of material non-compliance, should be immediately shut down, require construction party losses.

Interview reporters found some small companies in advance and on-site communication to consumers, often start with low price to win consumers favor, then vowed to ensure quality and after-sale maintenance problems, lack of experience of consumers ignore contract details, completely unaware of their renovation work will be outsourced.

However, once an engineer to profit, the "weekend", construction quality, maintenance problems with procrastination "tactics".

If consumers for decoration Yue does not touch any assimilation ", it is clear," not "brave" in their decoration to small companies, the construction team.

If the decoration budget indeed limited, you need a cheap little company decoration, in addition to sign the contract when the length of the mind, it should also be more run site, learn about its construction quality.

The industry warned consumers to avoid decoration in the event of a dispute, suffer unnecessary losses, in the decoration, make and enter into a written contract managers, clear terms, the decoration of the scope, duration, start and finish times, project quality, project cost, decoration material brands, payment and settlement, acceptance, quality warranty and maintenance period, detailed articles.

Furthermore, it should be stated in the contract, the project may not subcontract, and clear if it is found that works is the subcontract, corporate responsibility.
