10 QUESTIONS ABOUT REPAIR AND DESIGN

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE AUTHOR'S SUPERVISION?

Control of repair compliance with the design project in terms of dimensions, axes, location, height. Ordering materials, equipment, furniture, plumbing, radiators, electrics, textiles. Communication with suppliers, preparation of invoices and commercial offers, verification of drawings and diagrams. Selection and coordination of shades of color by colors. Inspection of the location of moldings, seams, trimming, pattern and texture of tiles before installation. The presence of contractors and technologists on measurements. Checking the assembly and installation of furniture, showers, chandeliers, mirrors, electric cornices, diffusers.

WHY DO WE NEED A "SMART HOME"?

How nice it is when you come home and press just one button on the switch or say a voice command (for example, "cinema") and at this moment: the desired light is turned on with the required percentage of brightness, the music is turned off, the projector screen is lowered, the curtains are closed, the movie is turned on and coffee is being prepared. With wireless technologies, a million scenarios are possible, so it remains only to find out your preferences, and to offer us ideal options.

WHAT IS THE "DESIGN PROJECT" FOR?

To think over the planning space according to technical and architectural canons without alterations and dismantling of the finished repair. Properly arrange furniture, plumbing fixtures, fixtures, sockets, switches. Choose the style of the interior and do not regret it in the future. Calculate the exact amount of materials. Coordinate the redevelopment. Avoid construction mistakes, financial losses, waste of personal time and effort. In advance, look at the 3D interior of the finished object.

WHAT IS A STYLE BOARD?

If you don't know what "boards" are, then this is absolutely normal. This term for designers implies a collage sketch, which combines real interior items, furniture, materials, colors, texture, appliances, plumbing and so on. All this together reflects the design idea of the room in a form that is as clear to everyone as possible. With sufficient skill, boards can replace visualizations, which reduces the price of the project and brings the start date of construction closer.

WHY IS PLANNING SOLUTION No. 1 IN THE PROJECT?

Before the renovation, it is necessary to immediately think over the layout options, taking into account all the technical, stylistic and architectural features of the space. High-quality options will help you decide on the final choice, which will not have to be radically adjusted during construction work. It is not uncommon for neighbors to come to visit, and then they begin to get upset that they have finished the repair and can no longer make such a thoughtful option.

WHY SWEEP THE WALLS OF THE PREMISES?

There is no full-fledged design project without room layouts. You can, for example, save on visualizations, but scans are an important stage of design. In the scans, absolutely everything must be taken into account, including specifying in what order to make the installation, so that the plan turns out to be perfectly smooth, symmetrical and physically fit. Dimensions, quantity of materials in linear meters and in square meters are indicated. Size bindings are given from the level of the "clean floor" to sconces, mirrors, chandeliers, countertops, faucets, tiles, partitions.

DESIGN STAGES?

Measurements of premises, preparation of the drawing. Development of layout options with the arrangement of furniture and plumbing. Conceptual style solutions of the main premises. Drawings: installation of partitions, arrangement of furniture and equipment, layout of floors, ceiling units, lighting, switches, sockets, warm walls and floors, scanning of premises. Final style boards by room. Selection of finishing materials, lighting, furniture, accessories. 3D visualization. Statements and specifications.

THE IMPACT OF PROGRAMMING ON THE FIELD OF DESIGN?

Not every construction team is able to make designer repairs! The quality of the repair is: perfectly smooth walls and corners; compliance with symmetry, axes, design dimensions; the ability to make the maximum ceiling height; have modern equipment for trimming materials, installation, finishing work. The terms of repair are prescribed in a well-thought-out schedule of work. An honest estimate before the repair, do not "pull money" during the repair process, financial responsibility, give a guarantee for all work without cheating.

THE IMPACT OF PROGRAMMING ON THE FIELD OF DESIGN?

Approximately 99% of interior design studios use outdated technologies. Most of them do projects in the outdated AutoCAD program, not ArchiCAD. Let's look at the examples: 1. You do not lose money due to incorrectly calculated amount of materials manually. 2. The project is ready and under repair, but for some reason (there are many of them) it is necessary to make changes, which with modern technologies will take half an hour, and without them — a week. 3. Script programming eliminates design errors. CONCLUSION: it is impossible to do projects "on the knee" in the 21st century!

HOW TO CHOOSE AN INTERIOR STYLE?

Before starting the development of a design project, it is necessary to study the references. It can be difficult to choose a specific style, so you can mix up some solutions or make the rooms different. If it is difficult to determine from the examples of interiors, then you can show us any photo of the landscape, nature, car or something else you like, so that we can be inspired by your taste. There are quite a few types of interior styles: loft, minimalism, bionics, English, art Deco, boho, brutalism, vintage, Italian and about 50 other basic ones.
