Most Popular redevelopment

Flats in which we live, most of them - a standard layout. And although many types do not always get to choose one that fits our idea of ??beauty. As the experience of the Moscow builders, recently bought more and more citizens with repairs and alterations to the apartment. Before you do alterations themselves, many would be interested to know how and what others are doing. We decided to find out what options redevelopment of apartments in Moscow is now more popular than most, and interviewed to this end, several construction companies. Now the union is popular kitchen and living room in panel houses a large room for cooking and entertaining. However, in new brick houses of the 90's (hereinafter - just a "brick house") it turns out to be unrealistic, since the room and the kitchen they are usually shared the load bearing wall, demolish that is not recommended. The most that can expect a tenant of the brick house in this situation - a new door opening, a specially reinforced. But the lucky occupants of houses Stalinist buildings - their architecture allows to demolish all the walls in the apartment and make a very real "studio" (which is now considered fashionable in Moscow). The higher is your apartment, the large area of ??the walls can be demolished and the more exotic designs can be placed in doorways instead of ordinary doors. For example, a typical handyman, remodelers apartments for $ 500 ready to close the doorway, and cut a new one, but for 100 dollars to do the arch of the drywall. In the construction companies for similar work will take approximately the same amount, however, provided that you have to be an empty doorway, a design project, supplies and everything else needed for the job. "The worse the designer, the longer he corridors" - told us in a tit design studios. And indeed - the majority of companies surveyed say in unison that the most frequent, regardless of the type of house, customers want to get rid of the corridor. For the sake of something - it is varied. One bathroom for polkvartiry Bring, others - the living room bigger. Especially the demolition of the walls of the corridor is relevant in hruschobah where the corridor runs almost through the whole apartment. According to representatives of the companies surveyed, the apartment is devoid of the corridor, a living space by 25-30% more than similar, but before the redevelopment. In brick houses demolition of walls is complicated by features of the architecture, so that on removing the corridor, alas, can only dream of. The cost of dismantling the walls depends on what they are made. Cheaper to demolish all plasterboard and brick walls - around $ 10 per square meter. Removal of concrete walls - three times more expensive. In block houses are now very popular union rooms with balcony or loggia. However, in the latter case, there are two serious problems that stop many visitors. The first problem - the sanitary norms and rules that prohibit leaving a room and balcony room not separated. In one of the companies, for example, suggest to solve this problem by installing stained glass windows. The second problem - the heating system. The fact that most of the homes typical layout batteries cost so that if the union attempts to room with a balcony and you have to change the configuration of the heating system. There can not do without approvals from various authorities, at least on the issue off for the duration of the riser. Therefore it is better to conduct such activities during the warmer months. In hruschobah, brick houses and homes Stalinist buildings such redevelopment is virtually impossible. As a rule, well-actuated redevelopment project does not imply a breakdown in communication, but in some cases, this can not be avoided. The first case - if the design for you above all else, the case of the second - if you want to be combined or expanded bathroom. In the latter case dealt with as electricity and water supply. In both situations, you should first discuss with the company by the Executive, whether they work with high quality communications, because not all of them offer their customers a qualified establishment of electricity and running water. On average, the cost of electrification remodeled bathrooms and a resumption of water supply to the displaced bath, toilet and wash basin is 500-800 dollars. The cost of the engineering project for the electrification of the apartment after the redevelopment is $ 4 per square meter, which is the average price in Moscow. The implementation of this project will cost an absolutely arbitrary amount because it depends entirely on the customer's wishes regarding the number and type of outlets, lamps, chandeliers and other handheld device. Special chic - a fireplace in the apartment - offered to tenants to acquire the latest stories, many construction companies. The average price for this pleasure - $ 5000. This exotic form of redevelopment (in this case, the ceiling and roof) recently gaining increasing popularity. Speaking of rare and extreme situations floors, it is impossible not to mention the prerogative of the inhabitants of the ground floor - only it is allowed by law to cut the roots duct, thereby increasing its floor space by no means an extra two square meters. In addition to these two square meters, first floor residents theoretically have the ability to attach to the basement of his apartment. True, it requires additional approval of the transfer of non-residential premises in residential status. This also applies to residents of the upper floors, who decided to get a loft or a piece of the roof. In principle, it is possible, and examples of such in Moscow is, especially in older homes in the center. Negotiate such complex cases companies are not less than $ 3000. And that's not counting the cost of bringing the associated facilities in divine form and construction of stairs. One of the strangest and most difficult types of redevelopment is the addition of otnorka common corridor. In terms of harmonization, in most companies it is considered almost unreal and meaningless. This is the extra one and a half square meters, and running around a lot of instances. But, oddly enough, said the manager of a Moscow company, often similar to redevelop plotting just the inhabitants is quite impressive in size apartments. Total, by conservative estimates, the total redevelopment of apartments will cost more than 2 thousand dollars in the implementation of the "minimum program" - and somewhere to "plus infinity". Small items such as demolition of some walls - around $ 1000. Most companies are engaged in repair and design of apartments, offering services and redevelopment: the demolition of walls, the union lavatories and the like. The average price in Moscow is 30-50 (it can be, and much more) standard units per square meter of living space, depending on the complexity of the work, cool design and pathos of the company. At the same time a noticeable part of the requested money is going to agree a complex rearrangement with a variety of jurisdictions. In principle, it is possible and most go through all these instances, and only pay for concrete repair work - then the redevelopment will be cheaper. Finally - a list of the most popular of alterations in relation to the most common types of buildings: 1. Demolition of the walls of the corridor: hruschoby, panel, and Stalin - yes, brick - no. 2. Combining the kitchen and living room: hruschoby, panel, and Stalin - yes, brick - no. 3. The combination of bathrooms: possible almost anywhere. 4. Combining the balcony and the room: panel - yes; hruschoby, brick, and Stalin - not. 5. The device passes between the kitchen and living room: it is possible almost anywhere.
