It is not worth turning the renovated apartment into a warehouse of building materials - it is wiser to buy them as needed, without cluttering the premises where the work is being done.
A quality renovation takes time and money, but the end result is a refreshing home and a radical change in its appearance. For this reason, it should be done as quickly and without unnecessary delays. The surface of the crushed concrete should not be neglected. Unsecured reinforcement is susceptible to corrosion, which effectively weakens the structure of the balcony. To prevent serious consequences, the steel components must be anchored and the surface filled with concrete.
Materials required for plumbing work
Balcony renovation is not very difficult, using specialized system products, ensuring a good bond, we can wear it alone. Repairs must be carried out with great care and using professional materials and tools.
Monitoring
How to save money when buying building materials? The easiest way is to get to know the supplier of the product in the market. After all, materials come to the market from warehouses. Having made a friendship with him, you can order goods directly - from the warehouse, without additional extra charges. You just call and dictate a list of goods to him and stipulate the delivery date, the cost of the supplier's services is already included in the price of the material.

Building materials.
Where is it cheaper to buy building materials? It is best to start searching on the Internet, of course, if you have a computer at hand. We fill in the search for the goods that we are looking for, and filter the most flattering offers by prices. Do not forget to be interested in the cost of delivery - it is not always included in the price of building material. Sometimes you can buy building materials in online stores much cheaper than in the market. An additional plus - there are no problems with the delivery of goods and their loading. If the prices don't suit us, we go to the market. You have your own vehicle - you can save on delivery, but then you will have to load and unload the goods yourself.

It is better to place bulky materials in the center of the repaired premises, leaving a passage for access to them from all sides.
Finishing materials and equipment.Price spread for consumables usually small, but the prices for decoration Materials can vary significantly, so it is very important to find the optimal balance between price and quality. If you want to minimize the cost of apartment renovation - go to the construction market. But note: there are mainly budget tile models, floor coverings, plumbing equipment. We didn't find anything that suits you, we turn on the computer. If you have not yet decided on the choice (for example, a specific collection of tiles), we monitor all the proposals. We choose the right one and ... go to a specialized store. You need to make sure that the color of the tile on the monitor screen and its color do not diverge in reality.
Instead of a notebook and a pen, it is better to take a camera with you - click whatever you like, along with the price tags, you come home - you can examine in detail the product you like.
The owner of the apartment in question opted for tiles from the "Lord" collection. Having visited the Expocentre, she was convinced that this was exactly the material that she needed. After sitting for a couple of hours on the Internet, she found a very advantageous offer - with a discount
103 rubles for each square meter... She needed to cover the area with tiles
in 20 sq. m. - in the end, she saved more
2 thousand rubles It seems that the amount is not large, but, as they say, “a penny saves the ruble”.
Such reconciliations of prices (store-market-Internet) are especially important when purchasing large-sized and financially expensive plumbing equipment. For example, the cost of the Spanish bath that attracted the hostess of the apartment differed by almost an order of magnitude:
21 thousand in a company store, 25 - on the market and 14.6 - offered by the Internet. True, to find this "gift" had to spend more than one week looking for it. It is very profitable to buy equipment on the eve of the holidays - many representatives give a tangible discount on expensive goods.
Counting the required material
First you need to decide! To estimate how much material you will need, you need to sketch out a diagram of your room. Starting from the measurement plan, we draw a scan of the walls to be finished. The instruction on the packaging will help to determine the consumption rate of a particular building material (for example, plaster, glue, putty). But you will have to calculate the number of GCR and GVL yourself.

Apartment renovation estimate
What does the estimate for apartment renovation consist of? It doesn't matter who will be responsible for the renovation of your apartment - a team of professionals or a couple of craftsmen. An estimate for repairs is still needed - it will help you optimize your spending and prevent unscrupulous repairmen from putting their hands in your pocket. Usually, for convenience, the estimate is divided into two parts - building materials and finishing materials plus equipment. Everything needs to be considered: from primer and putty to wallpaper and laminate, from wiring and switches to faucets and chandelier hooks.
You can split the estimate into separate blocks depending on the stage of repair - you will not buy everything necessary materials en masse. So you can calculate how much money needs to be allocated for each stage of the repair. The total cost of apartment renovation can change over time, as well as your idea of \u200b\u200bthe ideal apartment redevelopment option.

What building materials do we use for apartment renovation
Rotband (Rotband) is a universal gypsum-based plaster mixture. It is used for plastering walls, ceilings based on concrete, bricks. In rooms with normal humidity.
The surfaces in front of the plaster must be free of dust, dirt, and unreliable substrates. On concrete bases it is desirable to apply concrete contact... The mixture is diluted with water and mixed, a homogeneous, very plastic mass is obtained. Apply to walls within 20 minutes. Layer thickness from 10mm to 5mm. The best plaster in its class, therefore the price is somewhat overpriced.
We use rotband to prepare walls for walls with putty vetonite lr ++... For complex repairs, we will plaster under the lighthouse, i.e. under the level, with cosmetic plastering partially.
(Vetonit LR +) is the best putty in its class. It is applied to walls and ceilings, in particular after applying a plaster mixture. To prepare the walls for wallpaper, several layers are applied. Maximum layer thickness up to 5 mm in one application. Before applying the next coat, the previous one must dry. Skin well. Not suitable for rooms with high humidity (baths).
It is mixed with water very thoroughly with a powerful drill with a nozzle within 1-3 minutes. Allow to settle for 5-10 minutes and then re-mix. You can use it within one day.
(sheetrock) is a universal ready-to-use finishing putty. Prepares walls, ceilings for painting water-based paint... Apply after putty. This is a ready-made, pre-mixed putty. Very viscous, requires mixing with water.
Usually two, in rare cases three layers are applied. When applying each subsequent layer with a spatula, apply stripes perpendicular to the stripes of the previous layer. In general, when working with finishing putty, shitrok or pufas skill is required.
A special primer for concrete substrates. Prepares concrete substrates for plastering. Creates a rough surface, which improves the adhesion of the plaster to concrete. Apply with a brush, roller or brush. Chalk, lime or any other flaking coatings must be removed. Dries up within 2-3 hours.
(Fugenfuller) is a putty with polymer additives, with high adhesion to various surfaces (concrete, brick, drywall). We can say that the fugenfüller is an assembly glue. The range of applications for the fugenfüller is large. But we mainly use it to work with drywall. Bonding sheets to a flat surface, sealing joints between sheets, putty, etc. After mixing, use within 30 minutes. Wash containers and tools with water after finishing work.
(Pufas) - finishing putty. We often use it for finishing ceilings before painting. Apply two or three layers vetonite LR + primed and apply 1-2 layers of poufas. The ceiling is just a sight for sore eyes))). The setting time is about an hour. Wash containers and tools with water after finishing work.
(dry mix) - used for preparing screed in rooms, bathrooms and toilets. Leveling layers, for example under tiles. The screed layer is up to 50 mm, over the top use a reinforcing mesh. The surface before applying sand concrete must be dry, fat-free, dust-free, primed. Very durable and reliable construction material... Use after preparation of the solution within 2 hours. The setting time is 3-4 hours.
