The season decoration is focused on hydropower, waterproof and woodwork
Autumn is the peak season for home improvement, and it can be quite time-consuming. Many homeowners find themselves spending a lot of time managing the renovation process. It's common to encounter delays or issues with workers, so experts recommend that key projects should be closely supervised. Regular site inspections are essential, especially when it comes to details like plumbing, waterproofing, and woodworking. These areas are often prone to shortcuts, and careful oversight is crucial to ensure quality workmanship.
**Engineering Supervision**
**Plumbing**
It's important to have a detailed layout of your plumbing system before and after the renovation. The designer or the decoration company should provide a clear map of water and electrical lines. This helps in planning and ensures that any changes during the project are documented properly. After the renovation, having an updated diagram will make future maintenance easier and more efficient.
Tip: With the dry weather in autumn, safety on the construction site becomes even more critical. Workers from reputable companies should not be allowed to live on-site, cook, or smoke, as this increases the risk of accidents. While this issue is less common in regular homes, it’s more likely to occur in villa renovations.
Consumers should visit the site regularly to monitor progress. Pay attention to the condition of the bathroom and kitchen, check if materials are stored neatly, and ensure that construction waste is removed daily. A well-managed site reflects better quality and safer work practices.
**Waterproofing**
**Ensure Proper Testing Time**
One of the most overlooked aspects of renovation is waterproofing, especially in bathrooms. The water test should be conducted after the final coat of waterproofing has been applied and fully dried—typically after 12 hours. The test involves filling the bathroom floor with water up to 3-5 cm and checking for leaks over 24 hours. If there’s no drop in water level and no seepage on the ceiling below, the waterproofing is considered acceptable. For added safety, some families opt for a 48-hour test.
Tip: Before applying waterproofing, make sure the floor is properly leveled with cement. Otherwise, uneven surfaces can lead to thin spots in the coating, causing leaks. Also, ensure that the waterproof layer reaches the required height on walls, and pay special attention to corners and joints to avoid gaps.
**Woodwork**
**Control Moisture Content and On-Site Protection**
Most wood products used in home decoration are factory-made and then transported to the site. However, their moisture content and installation process still require attention. Once delivered, wood panels should be left to acclimate for a few days to match the indoor humidity levels. Installing them immediately can cause warping, cracking, or deformation due to temperature differences.
When visiting the site, check not only the installation schedule but also how the wood products are being handled. After installation, they should be coated with a protective layer of paint, which helps maintain moisture levels and protects against damage.
Tip: Autumn brings frequent temperature changes, which can cause wood to shrink or crack. If this happens, repairs should be done in spring when temperature fluctuations are less severe. This allows the wood to stabilize before making final adjustments.
**Tips**
**Manage Your Timeline Wisely**
A typical 80-100 square meter home should take about two months to renovate. Starting in September and October, finishing by November and December makes sense, though it might be inconvenient for window installation. Spring and autumn are ideal for renovation due to dry weather and good ventilation, which speeds up the drying of paints and adhesives.
Tip: Many people rush to start renovation in autumn, but it's better to plan ahead. As the season ends, furniture is often discounted, making it a smart time to coordinate both renovation and furniture purchases.
**Avoid Directly Hiring Construction Teams**
Some homeowners may be tempted to hire workers directly after seeing neighbors' work. However, this can lead to problems. Without a company’s involvement, you lose out on discounts and support. Additionally, independent teams may lack stability, leading to poor after-sales service and potential rework.
**Choose a Reputable Company and Review Contracts Carefully**
Even with a well-known company, it’s important to review the contract thoroughly. A detailed contract ensures clarity on responsibilities and prevents disputes. Include clauses about site safety, worker conditions, and other potential issues to protect your interests.
**Use Flexible Payment Methods with Smaller Companies**
If working with a smaller company or a construction team, consider using a phased payment method to secure quality work. A common approach is to pay 30% upfront, 30% after plumbing inspection, 30% after tiling, and 10% upon completion. This method offers more control and is widely accepted by many small firms.
**Select Reliable Workers Yourself**
Whether you choose a large company, a small firm, or a direct team, selecting skilled workers is crucial. Communicate well with the foreman and observe other sites to assess the quality of labor. During busy seasons, experienced workers may be in high demand, so be prepared for possible delays.
