Many apartment owners describe the procedure called “renovation” as nothing less than terrible and horrible, and all because it requires a considerable investment of funds.
But there is also good news: designer Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, told how to save on building materials without compromising quality.
Talk to the builders
First of all, contact the people who will help you with the repair. It is very likely that they have established connections with suppliers or stores, thanks to which they have the opportunity to purchase goods at a discount.
Buy in bulk
If the first option does not work, you will have to go shopping yourself. Remember that when buying building materials in bulk, you can save up to 20% of their cost, as well as on their delivery.
Change manufacturer
Sometimes domestic manufacturers offer materials and equipment that are no worse than branded foreign ones. In order not to buy a pig in a poke, it would not hurt to consult with knowledgeable people who understand this product, as well as study reviews from real buyers.
Buy on promotions and sales
As a rule, people start doing repairs in late spring or summer, which means that in the off-season, that is, in late autumn or winter, building materials stores offer good discounts on goods. By the way, many work teams do the same.
