Thinking about the purchase of housing on the primary market, come across the fact that apartments are sold to the repair of varying degrees of readiness. The most common is the rough finish of the apartment. What it is, what work in itself includes this concept and what you will receive as a result - read in the article.
Different types of repair of apartments
Apartments in new buildings can be bought with varying degrees of finishes:
- Under the finishing or without repair.
- Under the finish.
- With a pre-first white finish.
- With full finish from the developer.
Still just begins
It is these definitions that stand in ads offering a living area in new buildings or in construction contracts. At the same time, the price of a square meter differs solid depending on the level of finishing. To understand what the difference is, let's understand what different types of repair from the developer are different.
Under the finish
This option is completely without finishing. You get only a box. The walls themselves are external and those that limit your apartment and nothing else. There may still be simple, sealing the bathroom and the kitchen. All the rest of the space without partitions. If the walls are cast from concrete, bare concrete is. Naked slabs overlap over head, uneven concrete slab under the legs. That's what you get. The only one can be installed windows and it is not always. It depends on the project so that this moment must be specified by the developer.
Apartment without finishing looks like this
There are also no communications. There are points of connection to them: the yield of sewage, plumbing, electrical input to the apartment, and most often without a flap. Just start the phase on the machine. Wiring water supply / sewage in the apartment is not. All of this you should do ourselves. Exception - heating system. In many new buildings, the wiring makes the developer, although there may be exceptions. That is, the apartment without decoration - without any repair.
For finishing
From the previous version, it is distinguished by the fact that there are usually some partitions (typical layout or position of partitions with you are coordinated at the stage of signing the contract), walls and ceiling plastered, on the floor flooding the screed. Electricity can be divorced (clarify), but other engineering systems are still indicated by the input points.
That's what you can see
Hoping that the plastered surfaces will not be even. The quality of work is usually below average. You will have to even align walls and ceiling. Just need (possibly), a smaller layer of material. And so, you are awaiting a complete list of works, which includes the blacks finish of the apartment, and then the finish.
With pre-trigteen
This is an apartment that is prepared for finishing finishing work. Deployed electrician, the walls are aligned, on the floor is flooded with a flat screed, the ceiling is plastered. You only have to lay finishing materials and a substrate for them (where it is necessary). Without decoration stays bathroom, bathroom, toilet. In these premises, the repair will be all the same for you.

It is worth understanding that "aligned walls" must correspond to SNiP (building standards and rules), and it allows the deviations of the following order:
- on the walls to 15 mm per meter square,
- up to 10 mm on the floor and ceiling.
Upon closer review, everything is not so rosy
So, even if the builders have supported the norms (it is not always), not all finishing materials can be put on such "even" surfaces. In favor of this type of repair of new buildings, one can say one thing: the house for another 3-5 years will be actively sitting, so that the appearance of cracks is a completely natural solution. For this reason, it is not necessary to use expensive finishing materials at once, and under the temporary option there will be relatively smooth surfaces.
With full repairs from the developer
A full range of works was carried out, up to installation of finishing materials, interroom and entrance doors, plumbing installations. All you need is to furnish with furniture and you can live.
It remains only to put furniture
This option seems tempting - no need to suffer in search of construction workers. And it is. But the quality of repair from the developer rarely when someone satisfies. Often, all finishing is removed and is re-done. Moreover, it is often to put the walls (under painting so 100%), pour an aligning screed.
What includes the roughing decoration of the apartment
What exactly is included in the concept of "draft repair" each company and the brigade determines for itself independently. Of the above options, two stages are suitable for this concept: under the finite and with a pre-sample. As you can see, the degree of readiness of the premises is completely different. And how to figure it out? Require a list of works that will be held.
Draft repair in the new building - the exact definition of the list of works is not
Some exhibit a list of possible work with the price per square meter. In this case, everything is simple: you ourselves define what work and in which volume you will do is the most optimal option. If the list of works is not, ask him to voice or ask a list of works that are planned to be done.
Civilized repair implies the mandatory conclusion of the contract for repair and finishing works. This will minimize your risks in the event of unfair contractor actions.
Please note: when signing the contract, all work must be specified. And the more precisely the definition (with permissible deviations), the less problems you have during acceptance.

Main types of work
As already talked, the blacks decoration of the apartment is understood by each construction enterprise in its own way, but usually suggest such a list of works:
- Erecting partitions on the finished plan.
- Filling of floor screed for beacons with pre-waterproofing "wet" rooms. Here it is necessary to be attentive. Screed can be reinforced and no. Also need to clarify the permissible height differences.
- Wiring Wiring:
- Installing a flat panel;
- laying of power cables and low-current (telephone, Internet, cable TV) wires in cable channels;
- Installing pickles (without mounting outlets, switches).
That's what you can see as a result
- Plaster walls by lighthouses.
- Plastering the ceiling (not all of all this item enters the basic list, as they often make tension or suspended ceilings).
- Wiring of cold and hot water pipes, sewage.
This list of works on the draft apartment is basic for most organizations that offer repair without finishing.
Comments on electricians
Several comments about electrician wiring. Before performing work, a plan should be drawn up, which marked the number of sockets and points of connecting the lighting devices in each room, the cross-section of the wires, the nomas of automata, the RCD (read here) for each of the branches is calculated. You need to clarify who will do this work.
Electrician - the most responsible part
If the electrical wiring scheme is to be developed, you should first get acquainted with the project. Moreover, it would be worth showing a specialist or try to delve into all the subtleties yourself. If everything is fine with the project, you will have to control everything up to the cable brand and its specific parameters. Name that it is necessary to measure the actual diameter of copper wires and calculate the cross section along it, compare it with the project. Often there are large inconsistencies (shoals of manufacturers, but they must be tracking for you). The electrician is difficult to redo, because the wires are hidden under the stucco and change them very problematic even if they are laid in corrugated pipes. That is why this is one of the most important stages that provide for the blacks finish of the apartment and control it is very responsible.
On the plaster of walls and alignment of the floor
Before drawing up a contract for the draft decoration of the apartment, specify how smooth the walls will be, the floor. It is advisable to achieve specific numbers that must be fixed in the contract. It is clear, "no one will do" under the egg ", but it is real for the differences in a square meter real.
What exactly and to what extent you will be plastering - that's what you need to find out
Also specify whether the slope is included in the plaster walls. Often this part of the work is exposed to the list of additional works, so it will have to pay extra for it.
Additional work
In most cases, if you consider it necessary, such types of work can be added to the main list of works:
- All types of dismantling old finishing materials (from paint and wallpaper to plaster);
- Grinding of walls (antiseptics or concrete contact);
- Installation of the grid under the plaster;
- Arch design;
Extra work - for better results
- thermal insulation and sound insulation work in the rooms and on the balcony;
- replacement or transfer of heating radiators;
- Welding works on risers of cold and hot water supply;
- Installation of ventilation systems.
Perhaps you will be offered other types of work. It all depends on the specific company. Maybe they have special specialists who will offer their types of work.
Who better entrust repair
If the blackhouse decoration of the apartment will not be done by you personally, you have to choose from two options:
- pay for an apartment without repair, and on the draft repair to hire a brigade or repair office;
- Order an apartment immediately with draft finish.
According to all data, the first option is preferable. Find a contector that makes it good to repair in new buildings is not easy, but maybe. The customer who passes apartments with satisfactory rough repair is almost a fairy tale. Everything is explained.
Professional find difficult
Repair offices are gaining specific specialists under certain types of work. They are engaged only by this, these are their bread, their reputation, therefore, the quality of work, self-respecting organizations follow. For the developer, the main thing is the process of construction and emphasis is on the construction of the box and not to finish. Finishing works are a side income, not as attractive (in the money equivalent) and few people are seriously concerned about their quality. In any case, in our country there has been such a situation.
Perhaps somewhere there are developers who hold highly qualified training specialists. But for this, they constantly have to have new objects in their work so that these specialists are constantly busy, otherwise it is unprofitable. If you were lucky enough to find such a customer, you saw (not only in the photo) and fell a couple of finished apartments, the roughing of the apartment can be entrusted to them without any questions. Otherwise, look for a firm that is engaged in the finish.
What to pay attention to the acceptance of work
The rough finish of the apartment in the new building is over, you need to take works. But you need to know what to pay attention to how and what to check. To help you with a treaty that you have signed with a developer or repair company. There must be a list of works that must be made. You will need to check:
- How smooth walls. To do this, you will need a good construction level and a long line or rule (more than a meter exactly, and Better 1.5-2 meters ). The level check the verticality of the walls, a line or rule, applying to the wall and spending on different directions assesses the scope of the humps and depressions.
- Also checked the floor. Additionally, it is necessary to control the horizontality.
Will have to crawl different tools
- Check the angles - external and internal. They must be 90 ° (it is desirable to have a big triangle, but you can check something from the girlfriend).
- Check electricity. You will need an indicator screwdriver. If there is a voltage (phase), the indicator lights up in it. If there is no voltage, the indicator does not burn. That's what you need to check:
- Check that the protection machines are blurred by the phase, and not zero. If you turn off the protection machine, there should be no phases in the sockets of this group (you touch the probe of the indicator alternately to the wires displayed under the socket).
- Screw the bulbs in the cartridges, check the operation of the switches. Here, too, a phase must be blocked (if you translate the switch keys to the "off" position, on the wires that go to the light should not be voltage).
- Including a table lamp into each outlet (if installed), make sure that they are working.
- You can artificially create a short circuit, checking the performance of the machine. But this is only if you know how and what to do.
- If you had to make a water supply layout, check the performance of all cranes.
We must examine in and check everything
If there are comments, you need to make their list, to ensure that the representative of the company is signed. In theory, your comments must be eliminated.
