*********

This house is against the big island of Manhattan, and it is close to the Hudson River. New York is a seaside city, and the annual rainfall is not small, so moisture protection is really a very important issue. Take a look at the first recommendation

And as Wien said, the house was previously designed according to a standard industrial plant, not a residential standard, so the problem of moisture resistance was not considered at all.

At that time, the first floor of the factory was a production workshop, and the finished products were placed directly on the second floor, so there was no need to worry about the problem of moisture-proof underground, but now that he bought the house to live in, he had to consider it. this problem.

Because of this step, if you don't do it, there will be serious mildew, odor, and pest problems in the future. You must know that humidity is very easy to breed bacteria and various pests.

In particular, the termites and bed bugs in the United States are not generally scary. After several generations of evolution, the termites in the United States have become the number one natural enemy that all American homeowners have to face.

Even if his house is a steel-concrete brick-wood structure, he still has to worry about those super termites.

There are also bed bugs. You must know that Manhattan was the first batch of ports in the United States to open. When they came here, they welcomed immigrants from all over the world, and also ushered in pests and diseases from all over the world.

And the bed bugs here are notoriously powerful. The bed bugs we know in China generally do not attack people, but the bed bugs here are famous for their ruthless bites.

And if one is accidentally bitten, the lumps, pustules caused by many medicines cannot be cured. In the end, only hormone therapy can be selected. Once such a method is adopted, then you will wait to gain weight. Before long, the body will swell up like a balloon.

Buying a house, before enjoying happiness, suffers from this kind of sin. Jin Muchen didn't want that.

Therefore, this moisture-proof measure must be done. Wien's method is very simple, that is, dig up the basement, then re-pot the foundation with quick-drying cement, and then brush several thick layers of moisture-proof material. In this way, the problem of moisture resistance can be solved, and the new foundation can also make the house stronger.

Jin Muchen agreed almost without hesitation, but Wei En said at the end, a little timid.

"However, this will increase the cost of housing renovations by a considerable amount."

In the end, he finally said the reason for his worry, but Jin Muchen shook his finger unexpectedly.

"Money is not my concern, can you tell me a price?"

"Well... Mr. Jin, the cost of recasting the foundation alone may be around 50,000 to 100,000..."

"What? So expensive?"

Jin Muchen was stunned. You must know that in other areas, building a new house of about 100 square meters can be done for only 200,000 yuan, but it will cost 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars to make a moisture-proof foundation?

He had never renovated a house before, so he really didn't know that the price here would be so different.

"Um... Mr. Jin, don't worry, I chose the best materials. It's not very expensive, and it will be the top of 20,000 US dollars, but the key is the cost of renting the machinery. , such as concrete mixers, etc. The cost of these construction machinery is relatively expensive, and on the other hand, it is labor. First, we need to throw away all the ground in your basement, and then dig deep, and then re-lay the ground piles. After pouring the concrete , The single-storey floor area of ​​your house is very large, if you want to finish it early, it will require a lot of manpower and man-hours, and now you know the price of labor..."

Wei En said cautiously, he also knew that no matter which house owner, when he heard such an offer, I am afraid he would have to think about it.

Jin Muchen nodded. It is true that labor is expensive in the United States, especially for such construction work. If you find cheap labor to do it, the quality of the project cannot be guaranteed. If you find a regular decoration company to do it, then The price is about the same.

"Okay, you go on."

But soon he stopped worrying about it. After all, he bought a house worth more than 10 million yuan. Could it be that there is still hundreds of thousands of decoration costs?

"The next step is to add floors. We will add two floors to the entire building according to your original plan. In this part, we plan to use steel bars without damaging the original main structure of the homeowner. The frame reinforcement method is to add two floors, and then according to your instructions, we will give you a new division of the design functional area, take a look, these are several plans we prepared before.”

As Wei En said, he pushed the tablet in his hand to Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen took it over and took a look. There are many renderings of interior design and decoration. It is the same as the design of the model room when buying a house in China. It looks neat and beautiful, but it is divided into several styles.

One hundred and fifty square meters in front of the first floor is divided into a shop area, where several counters are displayed, which is where he puts and displays his antiques.

The back is divided into an office area, as well as a pantry with a kitchen, a rest area, toilets, etc. on the side.

The first half of the upstairs is a high-end antique display area. It can be seen that the layout has been carefully designed, and the space is used with great care. There is also an open rest area at the back, which should be specially for him to entertain VIP customers. ,prepare.

And his own office area is also arranged on this floor, which is very beautiful.

The third floor is the living area, with an open kitchen, living room and dining room, covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. It can not only entertain relatives and friends, but also hold a medium-sized party, which is in line with American habits.

In the direction of the front facing the sun, there are two bedrooms left. They are of the same size and belong to the guest rooms. There is also a room with a similar size.

As for the fourth floor, it is the master floor that Wei En mainly mentioned. It is a large open space that integrates the living room, game room, and studio. In the direction of the sun, there are two rooms with similar areas, but the lighting is in them. The best piece is set to be the master bedroom.

On the roof of the fourth floor, Wayne also made a new plan, intending to add a half-floor house here. In fact, this is the most important master room in the whole building.

The remodeled house does not face the street, but an open glass-paneled house will be used in the front, so that this room will never lack sunlight.

The performance of the whole room is very diverse. It can be used as a room or a bedroom, all arranged by the owner at will, while the front space is made into a sky garden.

All are covered with wooden floors and reclining chairs. If Jin Muchen is willing, he can even reserve a swimming pool on it. On this open platform, you can stand here with a glass of red wine at night and enjoy the view of Manhattan in the distance. Beautiful night view, and during the day, you can overlook Lincoln Park and the Hudson River in front of you.

After just a few glances, Jin Muchen was very satisfied with this design scheme. There are several styles of house design. What is the American metropolitan style, is to use all mahogany, outsourcing, and other more serious styles.

Or the pastoral style, which is to put various colorful wallpapers on the walls. Jin Muchen doesn't like all of these styles. What he likes most is the modern style of simple white walls and floor tiles.

He also explained to Wayne a few things that he was not satisfied with, and Wayne also agreed to make corrections after he went back. This discussion ends here.

"Then Mr. Jin, do you plan to hand over the renovation project to our company? Or do you plan to hire another construction team to do it?"

Seeing that Jin Muchen was very satisfied with his design plan, Wei En was also very happy, but when it came to the last key issue, he was still a little guilty.

After all, this is the key to finding Jin Muchen today. As a design and decoration company, of course, I hope to contract the whole process of the project. Is this the most profitable way?

And Jin Muchen was too lazy to find other engineering teams to do such projects. Since then, he has been looking for other engineering teams. He doesn't know the bottom line, and he doesn't know how the other party's craftsmanship is. And this Randall company still has a good reputation in terms of decoration quality. of.

In addition, how the construction team implements the designer's ideas is also very important. If an outside construction team is recruited, but if the other party does not communicate well with Wei En, and finally makes a four dissimilarities, then there is no way to deal with it.

So he simply thought about it, and promised Wayne that the decoration and construction would be handed over to their company.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jin, we will definitely give you the best discount in this regard!"

Wayne~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Duffy, at this time, my heart is already overjoyed. This is a big project, and if you do it well, you can earn at least hundreds of thousands.

"Wen, don't be too happy too soon, we're ugly words ahead, I don't have much time, it's impossible to watch your construction here every day, but I will find a supervising company to watch you all the way to work, So cut corners or something, you must not make this idea. The entire construction process must be carried out in strict accordance with the design drawings we agreed, and no unauthorized changes are allowed, otherwise I will not accept the house. "

Jin Muchen looked at Wei En and said seriously, these words must be revealed to him face to face.

Many Chinese people think that foreigners are really honest and won't cut corners when building houses, but if you really believe their propaganda, then you are wrong, and you will be hacked miserably!

These foreigners have two eyes and one nose. If they have the opportunity to cut corners, they will definitely do the same. If they can use secondary materials, they will use secondary materials. If they can work less, they will never give you an extra finger. , So during the transformation process, Jin Muchen felt that he had to find a project supervisor to follow the whole process, and he couldn't let them play tricks.
