There is no such formalized( that is, standard, generally accepted) document for any type of repair work. The defective repair list is made in an arbitrary design, even "by hand".The main thing that it was as detailed as possible - this is the only wish( in our own interests).
For a more complete reflection of all data, it is desirable to create a table with a table. It includes types of events, their volumes, materials, necessary equipment, prices and so on.
What is taken into account
-
Is it necessary to dismantle( complete, partial) the structural elements?(Read about calculating the cost of dismantling) - Do I need to replace something?
- Suitability of materials for reuse( rejection).
- Types and volumes of repair( restoration) works.
- Estimated consumption of used materials, their range and volume of purchases. It is also advisable to determine with analogues. This will shorten the time to find the necessary products, as well as choose their cheaper option.
Optional
- Required tools( equipment, accessories).
- Will you need to remove construction debris, in what quantity, what, and where?
- Terms and Conditions. For example, is it necessary to cover the riser of water supply, supply of electricity / energy and so on. So, it will be necessary to reconcile all this with the neighbors.
What is examined by
- Walls, floor, ceiling( ceiling).
- Door and window openings, the condition of blocks, cloths( fasteners), slopes and troughs.
- Engineering communications, stop valves.
- Tech / status of appliances that are an integral part of the room( eg radiators).
Sample works list
- Wall cleaning, antiseptic treatment, leveling - 46 m².
- Pasting with wallpaper.
- Dismantling of floor covering, arrangement of screed - 16 m².
- Laminate laying - 16 m².
- Replacement of heating pipes - 4 m.
- Replacement of batteries with subsequent painting - 2 pcs.; and so on.
The more detailed the list, the more accurate the estimate will be.
Recommendations
If complex( and even large-scale) repairs are carried out, it is advisable to compile several defective statements. For each type of different types of work( plumbing, general construction), there must be a document, as during the inspection it can be revealed( and often it does) that some part of the structure( product) is not recoverable and its replacement is required.
The second reason is that each one needs his own materials and labor. Such a rational approach will allow to plan correctly both the sizes of purchases, and the order of actions, and terms of their carrying out.
Quite often the owners have to resort to the services of hired professionals( contractors).It is clear that when compiling the estimates themselves, they "do not offend" and often consciously overestimate the volumes, the coefficients of complexity and so on. The calculation is simple - an ordinary man who does not professionally understand all the subtleties of construction and repair, it is rather difficult to understand what, for example, one material differs from another, which under the given conditions can be used and which one can not( although it is more attractive for the price), and why do you need to "do it, what kind of need".After all, we are often forced to impose some additional( and often unnecessary) service, if only we pay more.
If it is a question of significant volumes( and hence of money), it is better to contact an independent expert before signing a contract. An outsider will give a real assessment of the technical condition of the facility, since he receives money only for defect management. But then, if the list of activities in the work plan drawn up by the contractor is very different from the official document available in hand, you can demand concrete explanations( in writing) and justification of expenses for each item of the estimate.
Moreover, an invited "from the outside" specialist will help and accept the contractor's work correctly, so "hack-work" on his part is guaranteed not to pass. With large volumes, it can help to take it in parts, after each stage. In this case, you will not have to( after some time) grieve over the wasted money spent on expensive repairs. In which case, a professionally written statement can be attached to the statement of claim in court, since it is an official document.

When drafting a contract, it is necessary to scrupulously study it, by points, and do not forget that their wording is just a sample template, "for all occasions."The customer has the right to only PROPOSE this text. In order to exclude future conflicts and to guarantee the proper quality of work, it is necessary to propose( ask, request) the following items in the document:
- quality acceptance after each stage with the participation of an independent expert;
- payment - in parts, also for individual transactions.
Working with contractors, it is more economical to do some "division" of labor.
First, , immediately find out which part of the work is easy to do on their own. If the foreman is to convince that the "hand of a professional" is required here and amateur activity is prohibited, let him give a reference to the relevant normative act. As a rule, it acts "cool".
Secondly , to decide on the materials that you can buy yourself - it will be much cheaper.
Thirdly, , when signing documents, make sure that all these "points" are not included in the estimate( which, unfortunately, occurs, and you have to pay twice for the same thing).
In the case of repair work in different rooms, each one has its own defective list.
