It is extremely unpleasant to admit this, but in these times the engine of trade is deception of the buyer. Many techniques have been developed, there are even special professions in trade, the main task of which is to "sniff" you a product that you, in principle, did not intend to buy. So it is with the service sector - the more professionally your brains are “powdered”, the easier it is for you to part with your blood. And most of all you risk losing money just on construction. We will analyze where and how you can be deceived.

Loss of money at different stages of work
Deception is possible at various stages of construction. What options are more common? Fraud with procurement of materials. No less often you can be deceived with the quality of work. And it is very annoying when the performers receive an advance payment and disappear without a trace. Of course, all these options are risky for builders, because word of mouth will always catch up with them, and bad fame will prevent them from finding customers.
Where is the hardest thing to cheat
It is almost impossible to "sell air" at brickwork. It's just that it's all in sight, it's easy to check both the amount of brick and the quality of the mortar. It is not easy to deceive with roofing works. Here it is easy to check the step of the rafter system, the conformity of the roofing pie to the project.
With the foundation and floors, there is still a possibility. If you do not have the capital knowledge in this matter, it is easy to get led on proposals in which you do not understand anything. For a fee, you will be offered an additional reinforcement or a foundation. Maybe, of course, this is really necessary, but it is better to get independent advice, and not agree to dubious proposals.
What jobs are most likely to lose money
The box is ready, and it's up to the engineering networks. But here everything is not so simple. There is a very high risk of losing a significant part of your budget. Be on the lookout: the show of the magicians begins. For example, heating: you produced material calculations, threw in the cost of work and think that you have a clear idea of your expenses. No! If you contact a private trader, the amount will increase by about 40 percent in relation to your calculations, and by 100 percent to an official company.
The same problem exists with electricians. If you are, as they say, "not in the subject", then you will be sold both the optimal calculation of materials for an additional fee, and additional meters of cable.
All engineering systems are a risk of unjustified costs. Ventilation, electrical, heating, sewerage and water is where the Eldorado is for dishonest contractors.
How to deal with pulling money for air
Do not give up. We decided to build - gather your strength and nerves. It is possible and necessary to deal with unnecessary costs.
What should be done for this:
- do not rely blindly on someone else's opinion and independently delve into all estimates and calculations;
- all prices for building materials that are announced to you, check through the Internet and any other methods available to you.
You should always understand and study the principle of operation of any equipment that you plan to supply.
Just listen to what the builders say among themselves. Take the time to find time to delve into difficult questions for you. Let the thought warm you that this time was not wasted, but on the contrary, it will help you to save a lot.
