Xiao Zhang's home is being renovated. On this day, he felt that the TV cabinet in the living room was a bit short, so he said to the workman: The television cabinet was extended by 30 cm. The worker lengthened the cabinet as he requested. When the project was settled, the decoration company took out a settlement list. Zhang took a closer look and changed the cost of the TV cabinet by 1,500 yuan. By this time, it was useless to say anything. Xiao Zhang had no choice but to take out the money. But he felt extremely unbalanced!
Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of mistake did Zhang make? The author believes that he omitted the step of "changing the formalities for performing changes" at the stage where the project should be changed, and took a loss when the project settled.
â– Which are the scope of change <br> Every friend who has been renovated knows that when talking with the decoration company, the designer will come up with a lot of written materials, such as drawings, plans, elevations, and hydropower lines. Ceiling tiles, renderings, etc., as well as text categories: project budget, construction process description, main material description, A, B material procurement list, construction plan and so on. These written materials are used as a reference in the negotiations between both parties. When both sides have signed a cooperation agreement for home decoration, all the information attached to the contract (either drawing or textual) becomes part of the contract. Therefore, in the subsequent process, all requirements of both parties beyond the above range can be regarded as the scope of the need for engineering changes. From the example of Xiao Zhang above, the length of TV cabinets produced by workers compared with the TV cabinets in the original contract has increased and falls outside the scope of the contract. Therefore, Xiao Zhang should go through the engineering change procedures with the decoration company. In this way, the project that you want to change is changed legally and legally, and settlement after completion of acceptance can be done at this moment.
Tip: Most home improvement projects are relatively small, but the necessary procedures must not be omitted. Otherwise, there is no basis for disputes between the two sides of the contract.
â– Work program for project change
The importance of project changes in home renovations we already know, but how do we do project changes?
First of all, regardless of who the two sides are to change the project, they must be aware of the purpose of doing so. Then, the responsible person at the construction site should be clarified about what kind of changes will occur to the cost after the change. Because according to the author's experience, the cost of most project changes will increase, and this increase should be considered whether it can withstand. If you have already passed the first two levels, you can ask the person in charge of the decoration company to inquire about how the procedures for the project change should be handled. Generally, the designer should make relevant construction drawings and make a list of changes. You and the designer complete the necessary procedures and the project you wish to change can begin.
Tip: Do not say a change to the engineering project at the construction site and a working worker. This has the following problems: one is that the workers do not give you any work at all; the second is that the management company of the decoration company discovers later and your theory; and third, the expenses incurred are not clear.
â– What do you need to pay attention to when you change a project? <br> For most consumers, it is extremely common for a project change to occur during the construction of a home improvement project. There may be several reasons for this: First, when consumers negotiate renovation projects with designers, the sense of space in the brain is not as clear as the professionals, so it is possible that a project will be discovered and imagined when it is completed. There is a big difference between them; second, there is some inspiration from the decoration of their neighbors, so some projects need to be changed; and third, the amount of funds in their hands during the construction process has changed. Among them, the first and second are the most common ones.
Therefore, two suggestions are proposed for the first and second articles. First, the items that need to be changed must be changed. Second, the items that cannot be changed should not be changed as much as possible.
In addition to the many factors that should be considered before the change described above, I believe that consumers should also understand three things: First, if the renovation project that needs to be changed has entered the construction phase, the costs that have already occurred in the previous period should theoretically be proposed. The changing party will bear it. Second, changes in construction projects will often extend the construction period. As to the reasons, some of them are due to the time required for the relevant procedures, some are due to the time required for material procurement, and some are due to the need for more time after the changes. Thirdly, because of the increase in the cost of the project, some consumers believe that this fee should be settled once at the time of completion of settlement. However, the author believes that this fee should be paid once at the same time as the change process, because for most consumers, this way of paying for construction money can help them figure out which projects their funds can be invested in. It will not happen until the final funding is tight.
Tip: First, the project changes should be effective; Second, the project changes must not follow suit; Third, the project change is best to listen to the designer's advice.
