Guess the riddle: “The walls are white, and the floor is gray?”
-You bought an apartment in a new building!
I do not recommend taking selfies against such a background for Instagram. At best, you can photograph the view from the windows or the keys in your hand.
Expectations and Reality
How to start renovations in a new building with rough finishing? Sequence of actions.
An apartment in a new building with rough finishing is not yet a “dream apartment.”
At the very least, it lacks a bathtub, toilet, and outlets.
Where to start the renovation?
-
Formulate your wishes and discuss them with your family.
-
Find builders and explain what you want.
-
Provide your wishes in the form of a drawing album. If the builders work according to the project, you will get your “dream apartment.”
Stages of apartment renovation:
- The builders will start demolishing partitions. They will need a demolition plan
- Once the unnecessary wall sections are demolished and the debris is removed, the builders will construct new partitions according to the dimensions specified in the masonry plan.
- Inside the new walls, plumbers will lay water supply and sewage pipes with connections for plumbing fixtures.
The location of the plumbing is indicated on the plumbing equipment layout.
- The electrician will pull wires, install outlets, and secure wires for connecting light fixtures.
Where and at what height to place outlets, switches, and light fixtures?
The dimensions are indicated on the electrical equipment layout.
- After pouring the screed, the electrician installs the underfloor heating according to the underfloor heating layout.
According to the layout plan, the builders will lay the flooring.
What size furniture to buy?
- The planner purchases furniture and light fixtures according to the sizes specified in the layout drawing.
How to control the builders?
During the finishing of the apartment in the new building, the client or designer compares the result with the project. This control is called author supervision. When builders encounter difficulties, they consult with “your designer“.
To create a “dream apartment,” you need:
-
To make a well-thought-out project.
-
To follow the project.
A design project does not have to be long and expensive. The “For Project” service includes the necessary drawings and consultations with a designer. Contact the design studio “Neoluxe”!
We will take your wishes into account. The For Project of a 60 sq.m. apartment will be completed in 10 days.
