Many people come to ask me if it is useful to hire a designer. To be honest, this question is difficult to answer, because design is not a standardized product, so it is difficult to define. First of all, I can tell you responsibly that cheap or free designers brought by decoration companies are useless. I can only say that I am a painter, and I may make mistakes.
So this article mainly talks about what independent designers I have contacted can do for the owners. Through the introduction of this article, I believe everyone can have their own choices.
First of all, at present, the independent designer industry is mixed, and there is no uniform standard, so the level of independent designers invited by everyone is definitely uneven. The cases in this article are all from @ Hanyu Space Design Office and have been authorized to use. Non-stakeholders, don't spray, thank you!
Price:
The first thing to say is the price. Generally speaking, the design fees of independent designers should be at least 150 yuan/flat, and those less than 100 square meters should be calculated as 100 square meters. Some designers canceled the pool area, while others did not.
In other words, the design fee of a house generally starts from at least 1.5W, and at the same time, any independent designer who wants to pursue something wants every piece of his work to have a bright spot. In order to have bright spots, the budget is estimated to increase at least 1.5W (don't ask a designer who doesn't add bright spots at all, he doesn't pursue the quality of his works, so why don't you trust to design for him). So overall, the budget of independent designers has increased by at least 3W.
But is it worth spending? Please read what I can do for you after hiring a designer.
I. Before taking office:
The early communication mainly refers to the communication between the designer and you when the money is confiscated. First of all, the designer will definitely not come to measure the house with you at this time. If the money is confiscated, it is basically a decoration company. But it doesn't mean that you don't communicate at all, and you need to pay for luck.
At this time, reliable designers generally need you to provide the name and location of the house, the floor plan of the house, personal living needs and a brief talk with you about personal style preferences.
1, basic situation analysis:
The designer will make a preliminary plan for lighting, ventilation and storage space according to your little basic situation. For example, the storage space for buying convenient vegetables and fruits nearby can be appropriately reduced, and if the accessories are desolate, the storage space can be appropriately increased.
2, Huxing design analysis:
Daylighting analysis diagram:
According to the lighting analysis chart, we can see the direction and area of lighting. So as to plan rationally and make the light in the home more abundant.
Ventilation analysis diagram:
Needless to say, the importance of ventilation goes beyond lighting. If you want more ventilation in your home, you must make a good ventilation plan in the early stage, otherwise the ventilation effect may plummet because of the blocking of the wall.
Functional analysis diagram:
Through the functional analysis chart, we can clearly distinguish the size of public, private and storage areas in the home, and we can make a preliminary interpretation of the apartment type.
Spatial analysis diagram:
Through the analysis of spatial structure, the idea of moving line and demolition and renovation of residential buildings is preliminarily determined, which is convenient for communicating the changes of spatial structure.
3, style positioning analysis:
According to the owner's hobby, choose the appropriate decoration inspiration source, so as to find out three or four sets of scheme references (each set of three or four pictures) according to the style of inspiration source to meet the owner's needs. The following figure is one of the scheme references.
Second, the medium-term service:
By this time, you have paid the design fee, and the designer has already started to help you with the in-depth design. Generally speaking, 80% of the expenses are paid in advance, because once you start to help you design, most of your energy has already been invested.
In the process of medium-term service, it will include the design of plane structure, the final confirmation of style, the design of main materials, soft-packed materials and color positioning. And confirm the renderings and finalize the full set of construction drawings.
1, a communication:
Time: After measuring the room.
Objective: To analyze the demand and finally determine the graphic design scheme and final style according to the customer's demand.
Process:
By analyzing the needs of the owners in all aspects, the house is measured, so as to determine the design of graphic design, prepare to find pictures that conform to the owners' style, and confirm the design style with the owners conveniently.
The above picture is a part of the analysis table that analyzes the needs of homeowners. Every designer must be different according to his own habits. The designer will extract the required information according to the content in the demand table for design.
Design promotion:
(1) graphic design:
Through graphic design, we can fully understand the functions of the designed house, including the rational use of space and the whole house design such as moving lines for daily use.
(2) Style orientation:
The role of style orientation is mainly to further confirm the family style, prepare materials for the second communication, and facilitate the design of renderings. Every space in the home will prepare 5-8 pictures for customers to choose from.
2. Secondary communication:
Time: After the plane drawing and style design are finalized.
Objective: To confirm the modeling of main materials, soft materials and furniture in the whole house, and to locate the color temperature of lighting and the color of the whole house, so as to prepare for finalizing the renderings.
Process:
(1) material analysis
Make a general analysis of all the materials used at home. Show all the materials first, and then put them in the plan according to the actual use, and observe whether the proportion is appropriate.
(2) Color temperature of light
Make an overall plan for the color temperature of each space, so as to determine the atmosphere tone of each space.
(3) Color proportion
Through the display of color ratio, the overall color positioning in the home is determined, which is convenient for adjustment or modification.
(4) Soft-mounted body
Show the shape and color of the soft-packed home with pictures, and put them in the actual environment for reference, so as to confirm the details of the whole house renderings, which is convenient to use.
Design promotion:
Whole house renderings:
At present, the whole house renderings are becoming more and more realistic, and some designers will also make VR renderings (of course, they usually need to add money). Basically, as long as there is no deviation in the construction, there is little deviation between the final real scene and the renderings of the house.
3. Three times of communication:
Time: After the renderings come out.
Objective: To finally confirm the effect drawing, analyze the equipment and prepare the construction drawing.
Process:
Home is not only a place to watch, but also an important place to live and use, so after the style and layout are determined, it is necessary to finally design the construction drawing. The design of construction drawings involves the determination of the implementation equipment of hydropower lines. At the same time, various concepts such as the style and requirements of the previous design will also be designed after this communication.
Design promotion:
(1) Demolition of construction wall drawing
By tearing down the wall and building the wall, workers can accurately tear down the wall and build the wall, and the designed internal space has been formed.
(2) Hydropower design drawings
Through strong electricity layout, weak electricity layout and waterway layout, the master of hydropower can accurately carry out hydropower construction.
(3) Lighting design drawings
The design drawings of lamps, including the position of lamps and the types of switches, are also used by electricians.
(4) ceiling design
This picture is mainly for carpenters, and there are detailed requirements on the location and technology of the ceiling.
(5) Furniture dimension drawing
Through this picture, we can intuitively see the remaining space after furniture is put into the house, and what size furniture needs to be purchased.
(6) elevation construction drawing
It is mainly used for various background walls, and it will also clearly indicate the materials used, location and other detailed information.
(7) Warehouse design drawings
The location of home storage is clear at a glance, and the general space of customized furniture is understood.
(8) Equipment design drawings
The above picture shows the plan of water purification equipment, and the following picture shows the plan of floor heating system. Of course, there are fresh air, central air conditioning and so on.
Final confirmation:
Time: After the construction drawing comes out.
Objective: To confirm the construction drawings.
Process:
Make final confirmation of all construction drawings, and start construction if there is no problem.
Design promotion:
Confirm all construction drawings and make all preparations before construction.
Third, post-service:
Post-service mainly refers to what the designer will do for you after all the design work has been completed and the construction has begun. Simply put, it is three on-site purchases twice, which means that designers usually go to the site for three times to guide and accompany you to purchase building materials twice later. (But there may not be some liquidity. )
Note: Online service is the main service for foreign customers. If on-site service travel expenses are required, Party A shall pay extra.
1, choose and buy main materials:
At present, most home decoration will choose light industrial accessories, that is to say, cement, wires, gypsum boards and other accessories are the responsibility of the decoration company, but the procurement of main materials such as tiles, floors and latex paint is still under our own control. The texture and color of tiles, floors and latex paints will greatly affect the final design effect, so the general designer will accompany you to buy the main materials.
2, water and electricity disclosure:
Hydropower must be the top priority of home improvement. After all, the concealed works will not be easily changed for more than ten years, so the chief designer will personally go to the site for water and electricity disclosure.
3, woodworking disclosure:
If the water and electricity disclosure determines the convenience of use in the later period, then the woodworking disclosure determines the home style in the later period. Including the shape of the roof, the shape of the background wall and the special design.
4. Customized furniture:
Everyone has been talking about the importance of storage, and whether the storage space is enough and whether the storage method is reasonable depends largely on customized furniture.
Designers will help you design custom-made furniture, guide the designers to draw design drawings, and accompany you to select materials for custom-made furniture, and finally review the design drawings made by custom-made furniture companies.
5, furniture procurement:
According to the previous design scheme, the designer will help you buy furniture. For example, store procurement, online procurement, factory procurement and so on.
6. Soft setting fields:
Speaking of this step, congratulations on surviving the whole process of decoration, and then enjoy the final sublimation of your house by the designer through soft decoration. Want a perfect final rendering effect, of course, need the designer's full control, and soft installation is the last step.
Summary:
If you read the full text carefully, I believe you have a clear answer to what an independent designer can do for you. As for whether you need an independent designer, you should choose according to your actual situation.
But there are three points to note:
1, designers are design services, so designers are generally irresponsible for the construction quality, so if you want to control the construction quality, you need a supervisor or a home improvement assistant (if you have time later, I will write what he can do for you).
2. The service orders in this paper can only be said to be roughly the same, but in the actual operation process, various service orders will definitely be interspersed. For example, the demand for household appliances will definitely be communicated at the beginning, but the model and size will be finalized after the design.
3. If you are looking for an online designer in a third-tier city, you must combine the level of local construction workers, such as the secret door construction in my home. I am very dissatisfied. My drawings have been drawn by the construction master, but the result is still wrong.
The last place with family is home, so we all hope to make home the most comfortable place through design. However, design itself is a laborious task, and the current home improvement industry is even more mixed, so once you decide to choose a designer, you must communicate seriously in the early stage and trust them in the later stage.
I wish all the friends who are decorating can decorate their satisfactory homes smoothly!
