The unfolding financial crisis has forced many residents to reconsider their views on buying a new home. However, if the situation for its acquisition today is not very favorable, one can wonder about the transformation of the old apartment. It does not require a one-time investment of money, but can often achieve significant improvement in living conditions. Anyway, the dream of a new apartment is much nicer in the new comfort. Converting interior space of the old Can I flat do something completely new? Yes, if you do its redevelopment. In carrying out such works are not only technical details, but also a certain course of action, as well as mandatory compliance with certain formalities. Remodelling - an event regulated by law, it is performed on the previously approved sketch or design. Sketch can be avoided if it is a relatively simple operations: permutation of plumbing in the bathroom, disassembly of the lungs (not bearing) walls, the elimination of doorways, etc. Agree on such alterations at the BTI can be yourself, that will cost 5-15 thousand rubles. If the apartment will be the union of the premises (for example, a kitchen with living room), to increase the area of rooms by the addition of loggias, transport and bathrooms, etc., then to negotiate, you must first prepare a detailed project, as well as to gather a lot of additional permits and certificates. Do it all on its own is difficult, therefore, easier to apply to a specialized organization such as architectural office. The cost of preparation and coordination of the project is relatively large (in Moscow it is at least 60 thousand), but it is best to do everything legally. "Unauthorized redevelopment - this is an administrative offense which may be followed not only fine, but the requirement to bring the room to its former condition" - the specialist investment and development company «City-XXI century" Sergei Liadov. The cost of the redevelopment area is determined not so much space as the scale of the planned changes. Therefore, in this case it makes little sense to talk about the issue in terms of price per square meter. The average cost of remodeling one room apartment in a typical home ranges from 70-150 rubles (with the materials, but excluding plumbing, electrical and finishing work). Of course, increase the total area of housing such a decision does not, however, and it will cost at least an order of magnitude cheaper than a new apartment, so as a compromise that is acceptable. If the "big" redesign is not included in your plans, we can restrict cosmetic changes: make convenient built-in cupboards of various sizes and purposes, or to erect additional barriers with sliding doors. Modern technologies allow to do this, they say, "without the noise and dust", saving on design and finishing work. Works essential in making repairs almost always a question of replacing communications - wiring and pipes. To carry out this work yourself is not recommended, it is better to attract professionals with not only the necessary skills, but also the appropriate license. Especially, they lack today is not: many of the company after the stop of construction projects had to change the profile and do repair work. Incidentally, this was the reason for the stabilization of prices for these services, and in the future, it may make them more accessible. Replacement of electrical communications are often produced in order to improve household welfare. For example, the presence in the apartment the required number of electrical outlets can solve many pressing issues and allow to forget about the intricacies of extension cords, which, moreover, is dangerous. Experts recommend equipped with 4-5 outlets in large rooms, 2-3 - and 7-10 in the small - in the kitchen. However, it should be remembered that a simple increase in the number of outlets does not allow to increase the permissible total load current on the grid. The limit load capacity can be increased in consultation with the local power sales and management company. But fun is not cheap: the extra 5 kW of power will cost you about 100 thousand rubles. We should not forget that a serious modernization of apartment supply (laying new cables, the device outlets in places where they were not included, etc.) is considered redevelopment and requires the preparation of the project and align it with the power sales. For an average two-bedroom apartment that would cost about 30-35 thousand. The cost of electrical work (including cost of materials and installation of related equipment) is now an average of 500 to 1,000 rubles per square meter. Along with the replacement of electrical wiring can take care of ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen. Setting instead of ordinary lattices quiet fans that are starting to work when you turn on the light, you can forget about unpleasant smells and cluster pair. Cost is "fun" is not very expensive: 500-1500 rubles for every fan. If water and sewer pipes in your home have become obsolete, they are best replaced with new metal and plastic or polymer, which would require expenditure within the limits of 300-600 rubles per meter of pipe. At the gates, "comb", water filters, etc., as well as work on installation of this equipment will have to spend 15-30 thousand rubles. In this case the water supply and drainage can be organized more efficiently by providing a separate valve for each water-analysis, separate sink for washing machine and other small but very useful innovation. Stylish and well all know that the best (from a financial point of view) time to replace the windows - it's winter. However, the crisis brings about changes: winter is over, and the price of the window to grow while not in a hurry. This fact can be used to benefit the family budget. The optimal choice for today will be the construction of PVC windows. "The cost of glass-room apartment with balcony is now about 40-50 thousand rubles. Given the durability of plastic windows and progressive inflation, such an investment can be considered more beneficial than ", - said Leo Minullin, deputy commercial director PROPLEKS Group, Russia's largest producer of PVC window-profile of Austrian technologies. Installation of new windows is reasonable to combine with glass balconies and loggias. By placing an order for these works in one company, you can get a decent discount on all construction in the current situation is important. New windows can not only improve the comfort level due to good thermal and sound insulation, but also to transform the housing beyond recognition. For example, a palette of PVC window-profile PROPLEX includes 17 different colors, including 9 species profile "under the tree." This choice allows for the usual city apartment most daring design decisions. The front door, as the window shields the house from the misery of the world. Therefore, its reliability is also worthy of attention. Today, many urban apartments are equipped with metal doors, but not all are modern concepts of security. For example, not every doorset design complies with fire safety: it is very important that as a result of the high temperature door was not jammed. No less important is the protection against tampering. Therefore, one of the prerequisites - for hidden hinges that can not be cut down. Finally, the locks should ensure a sufficient level of privacy, which excludes the possibility of selecting a key or use the pick. Well proven lever locks and cylinder with a flat "key-punch cards." And of course, heavy metal construction should be well balanced and reliable. It is also important and a choice of different finishes in line with the overall design concept apartment. Therefore, experts recommend choosing products well-known producers, certified and has a long warranty. For example, Mul-T-Lock manufactures not only locks and fittings, but also ready-door units. High-quality metal door would cost today in the amount of about 40-50 thousand. However, the savings are hardly makes sense, because it is the price for your safety. The old house - a new look after redevelopment, modernization of communications and replacement of window units is the time to start decorating the premises. It is possible to make major changes without significant cost. For example, to update the wall and fit traditional paper wallpaper. An interesting novelty began to ply the wallpaper with a smooth bottom layer, which reduces the possibility of deformation of the fabric when glueing. Connoisseurs of unusual decor can recommend "Quartz" Non-woven wallpaper with a top layer of colored quartz sand or wood fiber (eg, Omexo, Marburg, Eiffinger, etc.). They are extremely resistant to abrasion and can very accurately reproduce the unusual textured pattern, such as frescoes. If the wall surface is far from ideal, suitable for non-woven wallpaper that hide quite significant irregularities. In addition, they can be repainted many times, changing the look of the room without the hassle. If resources permit, install ceilings, for example, Bravis or Clipso, that also allows to do without additional plastering. And today, there are solutions, consuming just 1.5 cm height of the room: such a "victim" can go to any home. Replacement of flooring also does not require the extra costs. The best solution will be laminated. It can be laid directly on the cement screed, just need to spread out her plastic substrate. Replace if necessary, laminate is quite easy, and it does not require any preparation. In today's market you can find very attractive offers of this material. For example, in building hypermarkets Leroy Merlin laminate 31 class now wear sold at a price of 178 rubles. per square meter. Postponing the purchase of a new apartment, it's time to think about the reconstruction of existing housing in order to somehow improve the conditions of their residence. All the more so for such action the situation is now exactly favorable. With the advent of the new year, prices of many building materials, contrary to custom, remained stable or rose only slightly, and some of them, such as metal and concrete, even dropped. Many building supermarkets tend to get rid of the cash balances by implementing them with virtually no extra charge. The conclusion is clear: now it makes sense to invest it in housing repairs.
