Development of a design project

A design project is needed to control the amount of work and not overpay for materials. The drawings will eliminate the need to explain to the masters where and how to put a partition, at which points to embed the lamps and how to zone the space with a floor covering. It is at this stage that you have to make a choice of materials for walls, ceilings, floors, types of doors and other things.

And it is better to seek help from a professional interior designer. We have such, leave a request, and you will be consulted in detail on all issues related to the repair.The next stage – dismantling works – is relevant for secondary apartments.

Dismantling works

  1. Measurement of plastic windows (for replacement).
  2. Measurement of the entrance door.
  3. Installation of heating “on the floor”.

And only after all the dismantling work is done, and the measurements are made, you can start roughing.

  • The construction of partitions from blocks (usually use gas blocks, bricks, pazogrebnevye blocks).
  • alignment of walls, ceiling, slopes with plaster (installation of lighthouses plastering of walls-removal of lighthouses), as well as arrangement of openings (installation of an entrance door, replacement of PVC windows).

The process of plastering walls

  • rough stage of electrical work (wall shtroblenie – cable laying – installation of an electrical panel)
  • the rough stage of plumbing works (repairmen install water supply and sewerage pipes, install HVAC and hot water collectors, fine filters, a leak protection system)
  • laying routes for the air conditioner and installing an external unit (if the presence of climate equipment is provided by the design project or at the request of the customer)
  • installation of the heating system (if the old system was dismantled, specialists new heating pipes are laid, a collector and heating devices are installed)
  • installation of a ventilation system (if necessary)
  • leveling the floor by screed device (screed reinforcement – installation of lighthouses – installation of a damping tape – screed device) and self-leveling floor
  • plasterboard work (they include the construction of partitions, ceilings, plumbing boxes, sheathing of radiators, niches for sliding doors).The construction of plasterboard partitions
  • waterproofing of the floor and walls (it is done in wet rooms — in the kitchen, bathroom, toilet).

Pre-cleaning works

laying tiles and/or mosaics on floors and walls (craftsmen work with ceramic, granite tiles, decorative or natural stone tiles).
putty of walls, ceiling, slopes, boxes (surfaces become homogeneous, smooth, without the slightest irregularities).

The process of laying tiles on the floor

If all the work at the rough and pre-finishing stage was carried out in accordance with the technology and design project, then finishing will take a minimum of time.
