First, keywords: decoration, legal risk decoration is almost everyone's experience, but suffering from too many "pits" in the field of architectural decoration, most laymen's decoration experience is not happy, and even disputes lead to lawsuits. So what are the legal risks that need special attention in the decoration process?

Second, understand the main points of the law

1, find out who to find to install urban decoration. Decoration companies and individuals (foremen) usually contract decoration projects. The decoration company is relatively formal, the relative quality is guaranteed, but it is relatively rigid and the price is high; Individual contracting is more flexible, although there are certain risks, but the price is relatively cheap. Before looking for a decoration, you must first measure it according to your own situation. Who will install it, the risk points that need to be grasped are different.

2. Close the contract.

Whether looking for a decoration company or a foreman, the decoration must take the contract seriously and sign it well.

Let's find out whether the contractor is a cleaner or a contractor. As the name implies, generally speaking, the contractor is only responsible for labor services (generally including auxiliary materials), and the owner is responsible for providing the main materials. All-inclusive refers to the labor services and main and auxiliary materials provided by the contractor. Generally speaking, the services provided by decoration companies are mostly all-inclusive, and those directly contracted by foremen are mostly open packages. At the same price, the decoration services provided by cleaners and contractors are completely different, so we must pay attention to them.

Second, make clear the scope and duration of construction. The scope of decoration in the decoration is different, and the price is different. The whole house decoration or individual adjustment must be clearly defined in the contract to prevent empty talk. In addition, in big cities, idle houses will also cause a lot of losses, so the construction period must also be clearly agreed.

Third, make clear the decoration scheme and effect. Decoration scheme (including the specific process of each link, etc. ) and effect are the specific standards of decoration, which are often clear and specific when signing contracts with decoration companies. When signing a contract directly with the foreman, you often can't read. At this point, the two sides fixed the decoration scheme by means of audio and video recording.

3. Grasp the payment rhythm. For decoration companies, it is generally to pay first and then decorate, so you can choose a company with good reputation and good reputation, and you don't need to care too much about the payment progress. For the foreman's personal contract, as the owner, we should make good use of the payment rhythm, grasp the renovation progress by stages, and prevent disputes and passivity after one-time payment.

4. Retain the corresponding evidence. Due to information asymmetry, the owner is easily "pitted" during the decoration process. In order to avoid the lawsuit falling into a more passive situation, the owner should be aware of the evidence, and save and improve the evidence by taking photos and videos, including the foreman's company business license or personal identification, transfer records, negotiation process, confirmation of some additions and deletions during the decoration process, etc. In the event of a dispute, especially when the decoration personnel leave the site in advance, as the owner, they must confirm the situation with the decoration personnel to avoid "false statements".
