Reporter "KP" learned from plasterers and bricklayers deceive tenants in my life I have repaired three apartments. I had to run around in search of work, by department, "All for the repair." Building materials for the dog ate. That's what I once told classmate Marina. She - the director of construction firm. "Firm" - said loudly, she works alone. Gives the ad in the newspaper, takes orders, hire superintendents, receiving a percentage. On it - the legal side: contracts, printing. - Latest trend of the season - a small house outside the city. People had seen a program about the nature of cottages and tear, - explained the friend. - A house built from scratch - it stunned any waste! Only for gas supply to 100 000 to pay. Because by giving rework garden huts, inherited from grandmothers. Such orders I have darkness. I complained about the lack of money and asked for it to second jobs. - This facility, to cobble together a team - said Marina. Migrant workers do not take the "Gang" I gained the familiar - the list got everybody more or less familiar with the laying of bricks and was able to keep the spatula in hand. And met with Stas, a connoisseur of psychology and market prices. I was lucky with him: the subtleties of nature Stas customer feels at times, easily spins the people for money. We are going to object - a garden house of sand-lime brick. When built, the sand in the solution too far, because the walls chipped, as a first-grader's mouth. The owner wants to build out the kitchen. - Now all measurements, math - suddenly catches initiative Stas. - Contract fill, the amount of work at the end of the act indicate. - Did you, checks for the materials I give. And then the wife of the report will require .... - Nods to the master. But where bricklayers, plasterers? - At the "black market" does not come, - decides Stasik. - There's some ignoramuses. - It is necessary to take the Tajiks, - I suggest - to me they were three years ago corridor repaired. Good and cheap. - Three years ago? - Stas grins. - They have long been insolent. Everyone thinks the guest-worker once, then make high-quality and cheap. Spoiled by their customers, passed from hand to hand. And they have younger brothers are discharged from home, show them once, like a trowel to wave and throw the object, while they themselves do nothing. It is better to look for familiar people. And again in the course went private communication. A few days later there was a team: the silent little man from the suburbs and two guys with him. In the area of 23 square attached promise to handle in a week. Prices - the market. Bargain to no avail: leave, a season in full swing. - Stas, and if the lead walls? - I'm worried. - We're the builders of these and can not find - let's say that at this point are the ground water, they washed away the foundation. I still do not check. We buy gold mix materials. Mixture - the golden ingredient. Customer-kettle and not realize how much need this stuff for the walls. - We still buy cement, not enough - says Stas customer and runs to the market to familiar saleswoman. They do a check for ten percent of the total amount of a gain. Money in your pocket, and no cement is not necessary to buy. Or so. There is a mixture of 300 rubles a sack, is - 700. Buy in lots of 300, and the girl friend at the market "draws" a check on the expensive stuff. And who and what FIG finds. To convince customers Dodgers-builders have stock of empty bags from the expensive mixes. This decoration roam from building to building site. His penny builders have and under "transportation services". Yuri on board "Gazelle" materials squab with a slide. Stowed in flight, the customer shall present a bill for three. And fat yield nails, screws, staples. In the overhead instead of two boxes of fasteners indicated four. Consumption can be checked only if you count every nail driven. We cook on the brick and planks for the floor. But it worked only if the client does not understand anything in square meters. Meta or calculation: find the difference shortchanging of building - the science is thin. Estimates compiled by a computer program. For example, in the "solid wall alignment" is packed with indicators such as standard hours, stripping of old paint and so on. But the term "continuous alignment" can be replaced by "plastering" and separately still shortchange cleaning walls, primer. This is not the budget, and costing. But who knows! At the same object had to be five estimates. And each defended in front of the customer. At the annexe to garden shed, for example, Stas also figured out how to weld. Its construction without interior resulted in 140 thousand rubles. The customer rolled his eyes. Stas posopel to mind and brought down ten thousand. The client nodded happily! Early happy. Work has begun, and with it the "Buy-" missing materials. Only on the cement Stas Navariya five thousand. There were also nails the mixture and the foam block cheap at the price of an expensive brick - all the standard formula. After passing the object we are tired, quarreled. I shouted to him: - And you tyrish money from ordinary people! - Yes, you went to the FIG, - he said. - They arranged for the same price? Has arranged. And the work arranged! Say thank you, that I taught you to make money ... I wandered into the office. Marina told about Stasik. - So all do - girlfriend calmed me. - Otherwise we will not survive. Overhaul of flats - on the same plan. The more order, the more fat. I had an example: a businessman started a renovation of a new apartment. Work is going, he brings the account he gives money. And it lasted for about four months. And when the estimated costs, clutched his head. On the rough finish left stometrovku million rubles! He complains, why so much? So you are all coordinated, I tell him, and wonder to myself: "Wow foreman gives." Poohal customer and for tiles and wallpaper he went. - Hmmm - I mumbled vaguely, to praise clever foreman did not want. Marina understood my mood. - And our brother goes. Once we have an apartment known deputies repaired. He gave money for materials, but at the end of the month said that the repairs did not like. And did not pay! And among those throwing sharp enough. Tips "KP" How not to pay too much in the construction market on the Internet Explore the services and materials. To discuss with the builder in the preparation of estimates. Choose a construction firm, and not private owners. Enter into contracts. This is, of course, more expensive, but you will be able to require alteration of marriage. A private trader looking for then! Haggle. Builders often overestimate. Do not believe the prices of the ads. Unrecorded work and expense is always there. Let the builder will make an estimate of the basic materials: brick, wallpaper, paint. Did you check the calculations with the sellers at the store. Buy and buy more materials together with the builder. Appear regularly on the site without warning, to keep working on our toes. If you have a contract on his hands, and the quality of work are not satisfied, make a claim to the leadership, will be denied compensation - go to the local Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights and the court. The result of this order was considered low, besides, I was a freshman, so I paid only 5% of the cost of works - 7000 rubles. But only at first glance a small amount. The average rate of intermediary firms - 10%. Usually in the month sdaesh from 5 to 8 objects, so accumulates about 70 000 - 104 000. And it's only official income! Building materials for superintendents earn three times as much. So, my partner received a "salary" 20 000. A week of work! But I'm not embarrassed by a small amount. But I know what to do, not to spend in the construction or repair of the extra money. And gladly sharing these tips with your readers "KP".
