How to make a repair bill for the repair and save your money

on any kind of repair work such formal (ie, a standard, conventional) of the document does not exist.Defective statement of repair is made in any design, even "by hand".The main thing that it was as detailed as possible - this is the only desire (in our best interest).

For a more complete reflection of all the data, it is desirable to issue a statement of the table.It entered kinds of events, their volumes, materials, necessary equipment, costs and so on.

What accounted

• Do I need a dismantling (complete, partial) structural elements?(Read about the calculation of the cost of dismantling)
• whether replacing anything required?
• suitability of materials for reuse (culling).
• types and volumes of repair (recovery) works.
• anticipated costs of the materials used, their range and the volume of purchases.Additionally, it is advisable to decide on the analogues.This will reduce the time to find the necessary products and select them cheaper option.

Additionally

• necessary tools (equipment and accessories).
• will take if debris removal, how much, what and where?
• conditions.For example, if water riser overlap necessary electric supply / power and so on.So, you will need to agree with all the neighbors.

What examined

• walls, floor, ceiling (ceiling).
• Door and window openings, the state blocks of paintings (fixing elements), slope and flow.
• Utilities, valves.
• Tech / state devices, which are an integral part of the environment (eg radiators).

exemplary list of works

• Scraping walls, antiseptic processing, alignment - 46 m².
• Paperhanging.
• Removing flooring, construction ties - 16 m².
• Laying laminate - 16 m².
• Replacement of heating pipes - 4 m.
• Replacement batteries with subsequent painting - 2 pcs .;and so on.

The more detailed list is, the more accurate the estimate will.

Recommendations

If carried out a comprehensive (but still massive) repair, it is advisable to make some faulty statements.For each type of different types of work (plumbing, general) must be your document, as in the process of examination may reveal (and often exactly what happens), that a certain component of the design (product) is beyond repair and needs to be replaced.

second reason - for each need their materials and labor costs.This streamlined approach will enable to plan and procurement dimensions, and sequence of events, and the timing of their implementation.

Often owners have to resort to the services of hired professionals (contractors).It is clear that in the preparation of the estimates themselves are not "offend" and often deliberately overestimate volumes, degree of difficulty, and so on.The calculation is simple - the average man, who professionally does not understand all the intricacies of building and repair, it is difficult to understand how, for example, a material different from the other, which in these conditions can be used, and what - you can not (although it is more attractive for the price), and why is "here to do it, what is the need."After all, sometimes we just impose some additional (and often unnecessary) service, if only we paid more.

If we are talking about significant amounts (and therefore money), it is better before to contract, to appeal to the independent expert.A foreign expert will give a real assessment of the technical state of the object as it receives the money only for the conduct of fault detection.But then, if the list of activities in the work plan drawn up by the contractor will be very different from the present on the hands of an official document, it is possible to demand an explanation and specific (and in writing) and justification of expenditure for each item budget.

Moreover, invited "by the" expert help and take the contractor performed the work properly, so the "trash" on his part will not work guaranteed.For large volumes it may help to take it and parts, after each stage.In this case, just do not have (after some time), complain about the wasted money on expensive repairs.In which case, a professionally written statement may be attached to the statement of claim in court, because it is an official document.

In compiling his contract should be carefully examine the points, and do not forget, that their wording - only a sample template "for all occasions".The customer has the right to only offer this text.To eliminate future conflicts and ensure proper quality of work should be offered (to ask, to demand) to reflect in the document the following items:

• quality inspection after each stage with the participation of an independent expert;
• payment - parts, as well as a separate transaction.

working with contractors, economically advantageous to do some "separation" of labor.

First , just to find out what part of the work is easy to do on their own.If the superintendent is to argue that there necessarily required "professional hand" initiative and banned, let him give a link to the relevant regulation.As a rule, it has a "cooling".

Second , determine the materials that you can buy the most - will be much cheaper.

Third , when signing documents to make sure that all of these "points" were not included in the estimate (and this, unfortunately, is found, and you have to pay twice for the same thing).

In the case of repairs in different rooms on each component has its own repair list.
