We tell about the main stages of repair and approximate terms that are required for their implementation, as well as offer several lifehas, how to speed up the process.
Guide for timing, stages and sequences of work
Coordination of Redevelopment
If you do not plan to redecessing, eliminate this item from the list. Those who want to improve the planning or make a two-handle from oneness, will have to coordinate the plan with local authorities. Usually, the development of project documentation takes 5-30 days, and consideration in housing bodies - from 20 to 35.
Do not start repair without receiving official documents for consent. Most likely, the authorized representative will come to an object for a survey, besides, permission may not give you - the most unpleasant version of the development of events.

Purchase of materials
The procurement schedule, of course, is individual - it is worth a pre-negotiated with a brigade who will buy draft and finishing materials. If the customer delegates it to the foreman, do not delay payments for the purchase. If you do it yourself, respectively, distribute your time.Optimally, if the draft materials purchases the performer, and the Customer is the Customer.
How to speed up: It is better to make the delivery of materials on the object gradually, then you do not have to constantly move them from place to place. There are cases when the repair is complicated due to the fact that the brigade constantly had to move materials from place to place to make a screed or plastering the wall. At the same time buy materials in advance, too, if you order a tile from Europe, for example. Then take care of a dry place-stock where you keep it.
Dismantling and creating new partitions
Sometimes in the homes of the Old Fund it is easier to dismantle partitions and build new ones - with compliance with modern technologies and using new materials than spending time to restore old.
How to speed up: Choose partition materials that will require less trim. For example, the puzzle blocks are enough to sharpen, and no longer need to stucify. Or instead of gypsum partitions, choose polyurethane. This will help save time at subsequent stages.
Electricity wiring and plumbing work
Immediately after the end of redevelopment and building new partitions, electricity wiring is started. In the bathrooms lay pipes, sewage, trails for removing fluid from air conditioners and mount hidden devices.How to speed up: Make a pre-wiring scheme along with the performer and control its execution by the brigade.
Plastering
Plastering works are alignment of walls and ceilings. You can start them during the construction of partitions. The process is time consuming, and this is the case when it is better not to rush. On average, about half a day is allocated for one square meter. It is not difficult to calculate how much time will need for your apartment. It is also laid on the drying of the coating (from two weeks).

How to speed up: It is better to start with those rooms in which work will be carried out first of all (it is precisely known that finished materials are already purchased) - then by the time of the end of the work on the plaster the entire apartment it will be possible to immediately begin the finishing of these premises. Also to accelerate the drying of the surface, some brigades use heat guns. Another option is to use dry instead of "wet" materials. For example, plasterboard for alignment of walls instead of plaster and stretch ceilings instead of the same plastered.
Floor screed
The formation of a screed of the floor for its alignment is considered to be a "wet" process, it is better to perform it by the second stage, after the end of the plastering. Work is done faster than the leveling of the walls, besides, it is often possible to walk on the second day along the new screed. But complete drying occurs after 10-14 days.How to speed up: Use special technologies "Paul on the screws" or a dry tie, which already in 2-3 days can be laid tile. But it is most likely to increase costs.
Laying tiles
Laying tiles - handmade, it is impossible to automate. Usually, only one master is engaged in this object. On average, the tile laying in the corridor, the bathroom and the kitchen requires 10 days.

How to speed up: In advance, distribute the working accurate layout of the tile layout so that there are no additional questions and related delays.
Shpaklevka
The putty of walls and ceilings is the stage in front of the final finish. Depending on the subsequent coating, several layers of putty are required, and each time you need to wait for the previous one, and then its grinding and primer. On average, take up to 15 days to fulfill these works. Dates are divided depending on the area of the apartment and the professionalism of the working brigade.Cutting finishing works
The list of cleaning works includes painting of walls, ceilings, finishing walls and floor (wallpaper, paint, laminate). "The price of error" at this stage is much higher, so it is better not to rush the masters and give them to fulfill work in the agreed time. On average, it takes 7-15 days to perform such works.
Installation of plumbing, installation of sockets and switches
When the final finish is complete, installed sockets, switches, plumbing devices and mount air conditioners. Rarely the process is delayed longer than 5 days.

How to speed up: Works can be started in the last days of the previous stage - laying the finish coatings of walls and floor.
Installation of doors, plinths and stretch ceiling
Lastly, work on the installation of the stretch ceiling (if provided) and doors. On average, the process takes up to 4 days. Since these works more often do different brigades, it is better to appoint them consistently so that they do not interfere with each other.Formula for calculating time
In order to approximately calculate the timing that will be required to repair the apartment of your area, use the formula:
T = 10 + S (if the apartment is up to 35 m2)
and
T = 10 + 0.9S (if there is more than 35 m2 area),
Where t is the time, 10 days, and S is the area of the room.
We warn that the calculation conditional, the duration also affects the feature of the planning, the need for redevelopment, the number of doorways, the complexity of repair and even the time of year.
How to speed up Repair: General Tips
1. Make a plan and estimate
A clear action plan saves from downtime. Perhaps you will be surprised, but the design project is not enough. It is necessary to take into account the sequence of stages (we have already helped you above), stipulate the zones of responsibility and the performer and also discuss possible risks. Repair should be started to engage before the start of the work. You can use special online programs or hire an independent manager.
Example of estimates: REMPLANNER.RU. All calculations random
2. Supervision
If for some reason it is not possible to control the process itself, you will have to hire a person who can monitor the brigade. Such a service is called accompaniment, supervision or technical control, is offered in many design studios.3. Simplify
If you want to speed up the process - simplify. For example, single-level ceilings will certainly reduce the repair period for several days, but it is not necessary to worsen the future interior of the house.
In the bathroom, you can refuse figured niches, finishes with mosaic, in the living rooms - to forget about the decorative plaster: it is more difficult and applied longer. Even machine work will not save time.

Finishing materials must comply with repair times. For example, putting the parquet is quickly impossible, so it should be changed on the lungs in the laying parquet board.
4. Order materials and furniture in advance
It often happens that the repair is ready, and the countertop for the kitchen headset still have to wait. Designers say they especially slow down the process of exclusive things from wood and furniture, which is done by an individual project. While typical kitchen can deliver and collect in a couple of days, individual order is performed on the month, and furniture from top foreign factories - and up to the year.5. Refuse the built-in furniture
Built-in furniture complicates and lengthens the repair process, since measurements need to be done after performing finishing work, and on the execution to lay from 30 working days. If we carry furniture from Europe or America, you can safely postpone the housewarming for several months.

conclusions
The question is how much the repair lasts, does not have a unambiguous answer, because the basis of calculations there are many factors: there is a project whether support will be repaired in a new building or "secondary", whether redevelopment is planned, even the presence of an elevator in the house (material lifting speed And furniture on the floor) affects the duration of the process.
If there is a little time in stock, and you are ready to make compromises with an internal perfectionist, here is our brief checklist to accelerate repair.
- Take care of the design project, which also includes an electrical layout and lighting plan, laying tiles and floor. Firm in terms of delivery of materials and work.
- Get rid of complex engineering solutions, decorative techniques, electrician. The speed follows simplicity.
- Order materials in your city or go to neighboring cities yourself, do not hope for delivery services, they most often delay the process.
- Take care of the design features of embedded furniture and technology: the production of such things takes from the month to six months.
- Buy decorative chips such as author's stairs or wrought elements in advance.
- Make sure you have money in a reserve exceeding the project budget.
- Look for the best brigade and ask them questions. You can find them in the list of questions that should be set before starting repair.
