Apartment renovation: an individual entrepreneur, a legal entity or a random person? How to open an apartment renovation company: in detail

Although the essence of the work does not change: the organization of finishing work, the calculation and purchase of materials, the search for workers, maneuvering between the desires of the customer and their capabilities. The main difference between repair and construction is work for yourself, at your own risk under the contract. You must have your own sole proprietorship, LLC, or at least have sources of orders and a certain reputation in order to start working - let it be for starters on parole.

Your own finishing team - where to start building a business

Some new buildings are rented out with finishing, but municipal finishing, as well as landscaping, is done by the same builders on a salary, there is no way to earn a lot there. It is a completely different matter when your team is hired by a private trader with the aim of finishing a newly built empty concrete cube or repairing his apartment.

Where can a finisher get the first order?

No one starts working for themselves right away for two simple reasons:

  • you have no experience - you will not be able to do anything efficiently and on time;
  • you have no experience - just no one will give you an order for finishing.

Moreover, you can invest in advertising, constantly answer calls and not get customers - after all, they have a choice when they search for advertising. And you can make someone a good apartment once and get a constant stream of people who will contact you and listen to you with an open mouth as a specialist. A person who has a recommendation from acquaintances always receives more trust than a foreman from the outside - pure professionalism may be the same or even lower. After all, the client does not understand the construction specifics, he only focuses on the sources of information available to him.

How to get the first experience?

All practicing foremen have a different answer to this question, one thing is common - experience must be practical. Private customers do not believe in education without experience, moreover, many foremen do not have specialized education! Someone got their first experience experimenting with repairs in their own apartment, then helped a neighbor, and then received their first orders through word of mouth, and there are many such superintendents. Someone started at a construction site as a laborer, grew up to a foreman and got tired of plowing for a penny "for an uncle." Someone received a specialized education and worked as a foreman in construction, studied at the municipal finish.

To take on your first independent object , you, as a foreman-finisher, should have experience “from and to” on all fronts, both rough and fine finishes.

If you think that you can simply hire skilled workers, advertise, make an estimate for the customer, and they themselves will figure out how and what to do - you are deeply mistaken. A worker who knows what to do in a turnkey apartment from and to, is a master who will assemble his team and will not work for you, it is not profitable for him.

The workers know their front of work: one - painting, plastering, primer, the other - the electrician, the third - plumbing and so on.

Your task is to check the quality of their work, and for this you need to know the right technology, and what should ideally be the “output”. Not a worker should teach you how to put beacons, but you should “poke your nose” into the curvature that the level shows. A non-worker should answer the client's question, which wall paint is better to buy - you should know everything about the properties of the paint and give professional advice, which is better and cheaper.

You should be able to draw up an estimate on your own, give an immediate estimate of the cost, based on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe apartment and the wishes of the client, clearly explain what your duties include for this price, so that later there will be no complaints: “ And why didn’t you assemble the kitchen, and what, do I have to pay extra for installing the door?" etc. It is better to specify all the points in detail in the contract in order to avoid disputes at the stage of accepting the work.

Foreman girl

The more understandable information you give to the client, the more options with their pluses and minuses you “chew”, the less you pull him - the more he trusts you, the fewer complaints and more positive recommendations to friends and acquaintances. And, of course, you need to do it well - after all, the apartment presents itself when a person invites friends for a housewarming party. If you do really well, your contacts will be taken even without the owner's initiative.

Business management and team management

Usually there are 3-5 people in a team. If we are talking about a variant of a super-economical repair, then it can be one jack of all trades out of boredom, usually a guest from Central Asia. At the same time, the quality can be either a blunder or a good one - it depends on his personal qualifications. As a rule, large teams are assembled when there are a lot of orders, and they start with small ones on the recommendation, often a good craftsman starts by doing all the fine and rough finishing himself.

Here it is important to capture the economic component and correctly balance

If you don't hire enough staff, you'll miss deadlines or do poorly.
If you hire a lot of people, but you can't provide them with work, they will scatter or you will go broke paying for downtime.

In a real full-fledged finishing team, where there is an electrician, plumber, plasterer and an auxiliary worker, the foreman does not do any physical work at all - he only looks for clients, purchases materials, draws up and reports on estimates and checks the quality of work. In general, the foreman here acts as project manager and not as a builder. If you are not a businessman by nature, you will not succeed in this field.

A great help will be your working car - station wagon, "heel" or Gazelle - "workhorse", you will have to carry people, goods from object to object.

On practice the young entrepreneur, to survive in the repair business, will have to charge lower prices than competitors and do everything at a lower cost. This means that the brigade will have 1-2 guests from Central Asia, whom the brigadier will force to work seven days a week in extremely harsh conditions.

What you need to start

And you will need:

  • buy a complete set of tools;
  • make registration and a patent for the work of their guest workers;
  • pay for their arrival and arrange a meeting;
  • organize food, life, treatment and hygiene of workers;
  • to make and place advertisements, to be constantly in search of customers;
  • know all the prices of building materials in order to buy cheaper.

Orders are easy to find directly in the new building, when you have already taken one object and just chat with a bunch of owners who have just received the keys. Let's not talk about word of mouth and recommendations, let's consider a professional approach to advertising in the field of repair and decoration.

Business plan sketch - revenue, expenses, profit

In a single article, we cannot cover all aspects of the business. The foreman as a manager and a businessman can choose different niches - economic repair, middle segment or turnkey work.

In 2015, in Moscow, prices for finishing are :

economy class finishing: from 4000 to 6000 rubles per square meter;

middle segment: 7000 - 15000 rubles per 1 m 2 ;

expensive turnkey renovation: from 15 thousand rubles and above.

Thus, the revenue from finishing a one-room apartment will be 120-270 thousand rubles in the economy segment. Two-room - 180-420 thousand. Treshki go from 250 thousand to a million rubles.

Time to work in the same apartment will take 1-4 months, depending on the professionalism of the team and the number of craftsmen.

Workers from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Belarus ask differently. In Moscow, you can focus on 25-40 thousand rubles a month.

2 workers is a minimum of 50 thousand per month just for wages. We are not talking about any taxes, to be honest, how this is done in practice. At first, the main thing is not to “burn out”. Often it is the foreman who pays for flights (and tickets to Uzbekistan are not cheap), treatment of workers, meals for the brigade, etc.

Taking one apartment, you can not only not earn money, not “recapture” the cost of tools, but also “burn out” - as in any business. This is the hallmark of working for yourself.

If you undertook to work for the minimum price, pay the workers monthly, then your task is to take as many objects to work as possible. 2 workers will make one apartment for at least 2 months, you will give them 100 thousand rubles, it remains only for current expenses (transport, tool depreciation, food, etc.) at best. Most likely, you will go into the red, so no one works below 4,000 rubles per square meter, even with well-established business processes, it is very difficult to make a profit at such a price.

The more rooms in the apartment, the more profitable it is for the foreman of finishers. After all, payment is per square meter, and the work is of the same type and is done faster than many small different works in a small studio apartment, for example. You need to try to take several objects in one entrance, this also saves a lot of time.

How much can you earn on the decoration of apartments?

As in any business, you can earn nothing but debts and a headache, but if it comes down to it, you got recommendations and broke into the expensive segments of the apartment renovation market, you can earn from one hundred thousand to a million rubles a month, everything is individual here.

If we take a “jack of all trades” finisher who works alone and takes on everything, then to calculate his income, it is enough to divide the cost of the object by the period of work in months. Roughly speaking, this is 200-400 thousand and three to four months, that is, your salary will be 50-100 thousand per month when working in difficult conditions without days off and a sufficient number of clients.

So it is beneficial to delegate work, if there were objects. For example, a team takes 3 large apartments and rents them out in 3 months, which is a million rubles or more in the pocket of the team leader, 300 thousand a month.

Personal experience

Correspondent I.Q. Review recently completed repairs in his apartment in a new building and watched the work of the foreman from the side. There are a lot of conflicts due to misunderstandings on any basis. Mutual claims often flare up because of the quality of work, prices, necessary or unnecessary in different cases, the initiative of the parties. For example, you buy a bath while there are discounts, but there is nowhere to put it, it interferes with the work of the team. They promise to do it in two months, three months pass, you see that hardly half is done, and everyone feeds you with “breakfasts” while you pay for rented housing.

Not every team can quickly respond to emergency situations. The worker fell ill or quit, the work stops, the customer suffers, the foreman listens to all claims.

Defects in quality can be expensive - a wire forgotten under the floor or a curved wall threatens to be altered at the expense of the foreman, which can cost more than the potential profit, because the materials are not cheap.

In general, the work is very dynamic and nervous, the results are unstable. To make money in this business, you need a well-established mechanism - a stable team, a stable influx of customers, good quality, a streamlined work process. All this comes with experience. And experience is gained by months and years of hard thankless work. Work as a foreman on the finish will work for those who really dream about it. If you dream of easy money - they are not here, despite the high price tags.

The repair business in our country originated in the last century, but was not legalized. Now to open a repair company is not only a profitable, but also a prestigious event. Despite the crisis, the number of new buildings is steadily growing, and the number of people wishing to improve their quality of life is increasing. The healthy desire of clients to get a decent result pushes them to apply to a licensed company, and not to the services of our brothers from neighboring countries.

Ways to open an apartment renovation company

Before officially opening an apartment renovation company, you first need to obtain a license, which contains a number of conditions:

1. The brigade must include at least 50% of people with a higher education in construction, received no later than 5 years ago. Otherwise, you will have to send employees for advanced training, which will take time and money.

2. After successfully obtaining a license, which is valid for 5 years, it must be remembered that lawsuits from dissatisfied customers can stop it ahead of time.

3. To effectively run your own business, it is recommended to draw up a detailed business plan. Be sure to take into account not only the cost of tools, wages, etc., but also future income and profitability of the company.

4. The description should contain data on the rental of premises, warehouses, the team of the company, as well as marketing analysis, considering the seasonality of the business.

5. The repair and construction segment of the services market consists of several categories of work:

  • cosmetic repairs, including wall, ceiling, tile replacement
  • economy option: the use of high-quality, but inexpensive materials to give the room a decent look
  • luxury class is the creation of a new image, a change in design using the latest developments.

Recruitment:

It is necessary to decide on what type of repair and finishing work the company will specialize in. Rational choice - complex services, implying the entire range of work. In this case, it is necessary to select professionals of different specialties: a plasterer, a painter, an electrician, a plumber, an auxiliary worker, etc. Good specialists need to be encouraged and not save on salaries, so as not to lose qualified workers and not spoil the company's reputation. Therefore, we also recommend reading about how to achieve a positive result.

Company promotion:

One of the most important moments in the development of a repair business is finding customers. For this, all methods are good: submitting ads to free local newspapers, distributing leaflets, testimonials from grateful customers transmitted by word of mouth, etc. Posting near new buildings and right at the entrances of new houses can bring success, because most houses are rented without finishing. Choose non-standard advertising moves: original text, paper color, tempting promotions to make your apartment renovation company stand out from the crowd of competitors. In order to maintain a worthy reputation, you need to carefully select the team, avoid marriage, downtime, delays in work.

How to open an apartment renovation company: registration + 4 business options + staff list + 4 customer acquisition solutions + financial calculations.

Capital investment in business: 330 800 rubles.
Company payback period: from 5 months.

How to open an apartment renovation company- the idea is good, though not new. However, in order to successfully enter the market, quickly acquire clients and perform high-quality work, you need serious preparation.

Treat her with all responsibility!

It is extremely difficult to conduct this type of business without knowledge of the types of work, methods of their implementation, building materials!

Most likely, you already understand something about the topic of repair, since the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bowning your own business in such a difficult direction came into your head.

Usually, people who have worked in repair jobs, foremen, etc. come to this business.

But you need to understand that in addition to specialized knowledge, you need to have an understanding of demand, that is, to analyze the market.

You will also need to refurbish the apartments. And, of course, as the experienced owners of apartment renovation firms say: “it spins and spins again”.

This article contains all the information that will help you start the right way.

Apartment renovation business: is it worth starting?

Let's look at the pros and cons of this business:

Market relevance and analysis

And immediately the good news is that the statistics are comforting! Despite the times of crisis, housing is bought and built. All the same statistics show that only 5% of people make repairs on their own. The rest prefer to hire professionals.

Developers usually rent apartments with bare walls or minimal finishes, which, of course, implies renovation.

And people who buy a home most often include future repairs of a new house in their expenses.

In addition to repairs that are made after buying a home, they also carry out in-line repairs of apartments (on average, once every 7-10 years). But all this is general information.

The analysis must be carried out, starting from the realities of the market in which you plan to work. If we are talking about large cities with a large population and ongoing construction, this is one thing.

A small regional center, where there is no work, is completely different.

Considering that the difference in the costs of starting an apartment renovation business in a big city and in the outback is small, we advise you to immediately focus on the “advanced” market.

So, when analyzing the market, pay attention to:

  • the number of the city's population and its ability to pay;
  • availability of primary housing under construction;
  • statistics for recent years in the field of sale and purchase (the easiest way to find such information is on the Internet resources of realtors in your region);
  • analyze competitors: their number, specialization, services provided, prices.

Detailed business plan for apartment renovation

1) Registration of an apartment renovation company

Ever since Soviet times, when business was banned, the habit of working "underhand" has remained. This trend is especially visible in the area of ​​apartment renovation.

This is also due to the fact that it is rather difficult for the tax service to trace the provision of such services - cash simply changes hands.

The choice of legal form (IP or LLC) depends on whether you intend to deal with minor or major repairs.

Registration of an apartment renovation company, to speed things up, can be entrusted to intermediaries. Or do it yourself, which will save you several thousand rubles.

So the plan is this:

2) Premises and equipment for running an apartment renovation business


You may need an office and a warehouse for your business.

We suggest you consider the following options:

  • do without them - communication with clients and signing of documents can be carried out on the territory of the customer, and building materials can be delivered to the facility immediately from the market;
  • negotiate with some company (perhaps your friend), and for a nominal fee, bring your clients to them;
  • rent a small warehouse for tools and building materials, which will allow you to buy them in bulk at better prices;
  • rent a room and use it as an office for organizing work, meetings with clients and a warehouse at the same time.

The situation is about the same with tools:

  • hire workers who have their own tools (at the same time, their pay will be higher);
  • buy only consumables yourself: drills, crowns, etc .;
  • rent a tool (this is convenient for serious expensive and bulky tools, such as a chipper, concrete mixer, etc.);
  • buy everything you need.

The choice depends on your financial capabilities.

You definitely need a Gazelle-type car in your business. If it is not possible to buy it, there are options for rental or carrier services.

3) Repair personnel


First, let's talk about you. What functions can you perform?

Usually, in a start-up business, the owner personally performs the role of foreman, estimator, architect, designer and accountant.

If your competence is not enough, you should think about hiring at least a foreman.

They can be both universal, that is, perform different types of work, and specialists of a narrow profile.

Experienced businessmen advise for the most part to use the services of specialists. As a rule, the quality of their work is an order of magnitude higher, and with a large number of orders, it is easier to organize their work.

Hiring a staff (and this is at least 4-5 workers) and paying them a rate in the first couple may not be profitable. Many owners of such a business work by agreement, hiring workers for a specific facility.

While you develop a base of proven employees, use the services of those whom your friends can recommend or read reviews.

According to specialists for your business, you will need at least:

  • dismantler-loaders;
  • plumber;
  • electrician;
  • tiler;
  • plasterer.

4) Finding Clients for a Successful Home Renovation Business


In such a business as an apartment renovation business, advertising is a thankless thing. The only 100% effective advertisement is your satisfied customers.

The thing is that people who start repairs approach the choice of workers with caution, and look for them on the recommendations of friends. So word of mouth is the best advertisement.

If you already got the object, give it your all! Provide the appropriate quality of work, invest within the agreed time frame and, of course, do not deceive or shortchange the client.

But, nevertheless, you need to work out the base somehow. What promotion of the company is better to choose?

  1. If you are focused on renovating apartments in new buildings, then flyers, booklets, and advertisements placed directly at the construction site work best.
  2. It is possible to reach clients through real estate sales departments, but this will require excellent persuasion skills. And be prepared to pay a “kickback” in the amount of 5-10% of the order.
  3. As with everything, now most people use the Internet to search for various services. So it would be useful to have a website for your company.

    But it will require serious investments in promotion, since the competition of sites like yours is great.

    There you can place a detailed price list, a list of necessary materials, services for calculating the cost and timing of the repair of the apartment.

  4. Consider cooperation options with housing departments, designers, metal-plastic window installation companies, brokers, etc. Again, for a “reward”.

5) Capital investment and payback for opening an apartment renovation company


You should be renovating apartments based on the decisions you make about the organization of work.

Only starting from your specific costs and market prices, it is possible to make an estimate. We can offer you only approximate figures for a general understanding.

So, we calculated this option for the apartment renovation business: registering an individual entrepreneur on a simplified taxation system on our own, working without an office and a warehouse, purchasing basic tools (we rent especially expensive ones if necessary) and a car, attracting workers to a specific facility without applying for a job creating a simple website.

6) Starting investment in the apartment renovation business


In this option of doing business, all regular investments (tool rental, purchase of building materials, workers' wages, gasoline) can be made from the client's prepayment.

7) Profits from the apartment renovation business

Consider the average prices:

The cost of cosmetic repairs is 1,500 rubles / sq.m, economy class - 2,000 rubles / sq.m, luxury - 3,000 rubles / sq.m. On average - 2,150 rubles / sq.m.

General repairs in a 2-room apartment will cost about 110,000 rubles. The number of orders per month from an ordinary apartment renovation company is, on average, 2 pcs.

And the average profitability is 30%.

Your profit is 66,000 rubles / month.

We deliberately considered not the most "rosy" option. The profits from an apartment renovation business can be much higher.

But we should not forget that without a competent organization of work, it is also very easy to burn out.

So, the payback of the business is 5 months.

The success of any business depends on the number of customers. You will learn how and where to look for clients for your business from the video:


Apartment renovation business- interesting and profitable with its proper organization. Take the time to analyze, strategize, and prepare.

By the time the contract is concluded with the client, you should already have a clear understanding of the prices for your work, building materials, budgeting, professional workers ready to start the project, contacts of tool rental companies.

Starting repairs, each owner carefully selects workers for this purpose. He their skills and professionalism directly depends on the result. However, in addition to skills, the repairman must have some kind of status. What is it for? You can conclude an agreement with an individual entrepreneur or organization, demand compliance with its terms, in case of non-compliance, make demands and even sue. If you found a worker through acquaintances or on the advice of friends, and he is not registered in the official status of a businessman, then there is nothing to demand from him. If there is no desire to take risks, it is necessary to choose a registered company or a worker. However, most often repair services are provided by a team of several people.

Apartment repairs can be carried out by an individual entrepreneur after registration. In its course, the individual entrepreneur must select the appropriate code of economic activity - the provision of household services to the population (016101). We are talking exclusively about the services that the IP provides to individuals. In this case, the most appropriate tax deduction system would be UTII. If an individual entrepreneur works independently, he has the right to acquire a patent if such a right is provided for entrepreneurs in the region of his business. The cost of a patent is calculated based on the estimated amount of income for a calendar year. From its size, the entrepreneur pays 6% in the form of a tax contribution. UTII is used when an entrepreneur recruits a team of workers, concludes labor contracts with them and becomes registered with the FSS and the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund as an insurer.

With customers, the IP concludes civil-labor types of contracts for the performance of work on the repair of apartments. They must include the following items:

Full name, address of the entrepreneur;

Number and date of issue of the certificate on the basis of which the IP operates;

Subject of the contract: a list of all works that the individual undertakes to perform;

Repair deadlines;

Force majeure circumstances;

Responsibilities of the parties: customer and entrepreneur;

Methods of payment and the procedure for transferring funds;

Details of IP and customer.

Apartment repairs are carried out by an individual entrepreneur according to the torn OKVED codes. According to the subgroup "Repair and construction", an individual entrepreneur has the right to perform:

Repair of houses and apartments of citizens;

Partial renovation;

Repair of roofs, floors, cellars;

Bookmarking or bulkhead houses from timber or logs;

Repair of outbuildings, basements, garden houses;

Replacement, installation, dismantling of windows, doors, balconies;

Repair of garages, fences;

Installation of furnaces, their cleaning;

Installation of doors, including armored, and more.

If an individual provides services to perform repairs of a one-time nature, tax is also paid on the profit received. Article 210 of the Tax Code defines the tax base not only for financial resources, but also for payment in kind or property rights arising after the execution of an order. Personal income tax is subject to payment, the amount of his citizen calculates independently. To do this, you need to add up all the profits received from performing one-time repairs during the calendar year, subtract 13% from it - this will be the personal income tax. A declaration is submitted to the tax authority, which indicates the types of repair work and the timing of their implementation for the previous 12 months. Only in this case, an individual may not be registered as an individual entrepreneur and perform one-time repair work without the involvement of hired employees.

Apartment renovation can be carried out by an individual entrepreneur using the “simplified” model. However, in such a situation, he is charged with the use of cash registers to account for the cash that comes from customers. KKM must be registered properly. Individual entrepreneurs are exempted from accounting for any of these taxation systems. However, many still keep accounting, especially now there are special computer programs. They allow you to do it yourself.

Some types of repair services require the entrepreneur to have a special permit. These include works that can affect the integrity and safety of the building, that is, almost all types of major repairs and reconstruction. Interior and finishing work inside premises or houses can be performed without obtaining a permit. A complete list of permitted repair services is specified in OKDP OK 004-93 of the Urban Planning Code.

Do you want to open your own home improvement business and don't know where to start? This article will help you understand from "A" to "Z", from what stages your initiative will be, all the subtleties of entrepreneurship, what should be avoided, and how to develop this type of activity most profitably. How to work with staff and find a compromise with customers.

We register an apartment renovation company and draw up the necessary documents

Why do you need documents for this business, because you can just "sneak"?! It is possible, but there is a risk of being left without payment, because. in court, if the customer refuses to pay, you will not be able to prove anything, and if you present the Agreement drawn up between you and the customer, you can also “deserve” a fine for illegal business. Not only that - even advertising your work will be limited, because some advertising agencies will also require proof of your type of activity.

If you are afraid of the unknown before drawing up documents that are still incomprehensible to you and long lines, it is better to entrust this matter to an experienced lawyer. By the way, this is more correct: everyone should flawlessly do what he knows “by heart”. But if you want to save money and you have free time, then you can do it yourself. Since the repair and decoration of apartments is a small business, it is best to draw up an IP (individual entrepreneurship).

Required list of documents:

  • A copy of the passport certified by a notary.
  • TIN (photocopy).
  • Types of activity (OKVED).
  • Application for "simplification" (such a system of taxation). By the way, you need to think in advance - how you will work - with or without your materials: if you buy materials yourself, then it is better to issue “income minus expenses”, although the% of the tax will be increased, but, according to the purchased checks and other types of costs, this will be taken into account when paying taxes. If no expenses are taken into account, then you can indicate in the simplified form “only income”. Please check with your accountant about this. Or in the inter-district inspection, where you will draw up. But a little later we will analyze this issue in the article.
  • State duty 400 rubles.
  • Obtaining TIN, OGRNIP certificate, extract from USRNIP in the Federal Tax Service.
  • Production of seals and statistics codes.
  • Opening a bank account.
  • Notification for tax : where the company is located (if you rent an office, then a lease agreement) and in which bank an account is opened.
  • Registration in the FSS, PFR and in the compulsory medical insurance fund.

After all the running around, you will be notified what documents, where and when you can get. Now you can safely and with a clear conscience before the state begin to work.

Another question arises - is the approval of the SRO, which is frightening for all construction organizations, required? If you are not going to perform thermal insulation and facade work, then SRO is not required.

As the list of SROs says: “A permit is not needed for such types of work as:

  1. Finishing and repair work in apartments and offices
  2. Plumbing installation.

We select personnel for opening an apartment renovation business

In such a small type of activity, a strong backbone is most often assembled - a friendly and well-coordinated team of several people, where everyone does their own repair and decoration work. But we must not forget that even with very trusting relationships, disagreements can arise. If you do not clearly distinguish between subordination from the very beginning, then the team may soon disintegrate.

If an organization is open for you, then let the employees understand that you are the main one at work, no familiarity, since you are responsible for everything that happens. It's outside of work you can go to barbecue and relax for the whole weekend, but at work, no, no. By the way, in order to maintain a good atmosphere in the team, the director sometimes needs to arrange corporate holidays.

For a full set of workers at the facility, the following professionals are desirable:

  • Painter - plasterer.
  • Finisher.
  • Plumber.
  • Electrician.
  • Ceiling and floor installers.
  • support worker .

How many will be each specialist - you decide.

You, due to employment, sometimes have to leave the team, even if you work together and perform some kind of activity at the facility. As an option, you can hire a foreman, but as experience shows, these are extra costs for his wages in a small team. It is better to appoint yourself a “right hand” - a foreman who would work together with the team and monitor the timing and quality of work in your absence. Of course - it is to him that a certain part of the payment is additionally due for responsibility.

  • Accountant . It must be a proven and reliable person. Not only is he fully responsible for finances, he still should not be a "mishandled Cossack", it's no secret that bypassing some unnecessarily strict rules and laws invented by the state, one must cunningly maneuver. No matter how later this cooperation would “turn sideways” for you with big troubles. As an option (one of the best) - this is an accountant for hire during the period of any reporting or payroll to employees. You just need to carefully file all checks, acts and other documents confirming your income and expenses.
  • Estimator . In principle, it is not needed if you yourself calculated an estimate for yourself according to the compiled price list, taking into account all expenses and the cost of services, up to a nail driven into the wall, and this suited the customer. The simpler and more intelligible the estimate for the customer in his apartment (office), the easier it will be to agree with him. But sometimes, for example, if the customer, the owner of a very large office with warehouses, requires a RIK estimate, you can contact a specialist estimator who will competently draw it up.

In other words, the staff for such small work is no longer needed if you do not want to "feed extra mouths." For large organizations, chief accountants and their assistants, heads of departments and personnel officers are required, and a smart director of a small company is himself and a personnel officer and secretary.

The main thing is that people work conscientiously at the facility and hand over work on time - this is the main indicator of the company's integrity.

And now a little about estimates.

What services should be included in the price list for apartment renovation - a list of works provided

Compiling your own price list, you need to take into account the estimates of competitors. As in any business, you need to be cunning if you want to succeed. View on the Internet how much other organizations offer for their services, or ask to send an estimate to yourself from competitors under the guise of a customer. Nothing to be ashamed of - almost everyone does it. Moreover, you are not “hooking up” a competitor - you are simply gaining experience in your business.

The list of repair and finishing works includes:

  • Installation and repair of sanitary equipment.
  • Electrical repair and installation.
  • Ceiling stretch.
  • Flooring.
  • Wall decoration at the request of the customer.

By the way, in a well-coordinated team with a full "set" of all professionals, work will be faster and easier to carry out. Let's say plumbing needs to be installed, a shower cabin with newfangled "bells and whistles" - with a panel of various functions. But in the "buttons" he is not selenium - there is an electrician to help him.

Business plan of an organization, an apartment renovation company - calculation of expenses and income, profitability and payback periods

Calculate the average, acceptable price, taking into account the wages of all employees and people who provide services to you (accounting, transport, etc.). Consider taxes. Calculate all work with the same above-mentioned nail, every meter of strobe for electrical wiring, every square meter of wall painting, etc.

And now in more detail, the better it is to work in construction under the simplified taxation system “Income minus expenses”, where the tax must be paid at 15% of the value of income. Let's say you took into work an object worth 200,000 rubles, taking into account all costs and materials. If your tax only covers income (6%), you will pay 12,000, but all your expenses will not be taken into account. But you have so many expenses: your materials, ordering transport for bulky materials, wages, services to which are attached Contracts and acts of work performed, telephone calls, your own gasoline, stationery, office furniture, and so on and so forth ... As a result, you got 50,000 absolutely net profit for the organization. And you pay a tax of only 7,500 rubles .

As for the payback period, it depends on the number of orders, a well-calculated estimate and an agreement with the customer. To get started, you still need to spend money out of your own pocket to start a business. But more on that later.

What equipment will you need to develop an apartment renovation business?

First of all, quality. By purchasing goods at a bargain price, you run the risk of buying the same thing several times, since a cheap tool breaks down very quickly. As a result, you run the risk of overpaying and even delaying the terms of work - given the time spent on travel and the purchase of a new product.

If you have a “simplified” income minus expenses, then it is advisable to purchase the tool after receiving all documents for the organization . First of all, it is necessary to create the "face" of the company - to dress and put on the entire team in one work uniform with a logo, for example, "IP Ivanov". Provide people with gloves, welding goggles, headlamps, respirators, etc. Must have a first aid kit in case of injury at work.

Tools needed at the repair and finishing facility: puncher, drill, screwdriver, electric jigsaw, welding machine, laser length gauge and level. And also: spatulas, paint brushes and rollers (and trays for them), tape measure, pliers, screwdrivers, buckets, hammers and mallets, rags, containers for diluting paints and glue, stationery knives and scissors, a marker, sandpaper and other little things if needed.

An expensive tool every evening at the end of the day's work must be handed over against receipt to the responsible person.

At the construction site, as in no other activity, tools can mysteriously disappear, and none of the workers confess their guilt.

Tools and materials as the main cost item

Here, it would seem, there are little things that you don’t notice how you spend while working at the facility, but in the end you get a tidy sum. For example, drill bits for a drill or bits for a screwdriver. They have a tendency to wear out. Sandpaper - rubbed, knives and pliers - break. As a result, the costs increase slightly from the initial estimate. .

If the customer himself wants to choose some finishing materials, then he will agree with him that you will take all receipts from purchases for reporting. Even if finishing decorative materials are not included in the estimate, well, it's a sin to hide - they will still be taken into account at the expense and the tax will be less.

Advertising and marketing to help grow your home renovation business

To this topic - special attention, especially at the very beginning of the development of the organization, because in the future it affects.

  1. If you are not yet known to anyone as a company that performs the repair and decoration of apartments, initially it is best to resort to the services "word of mouth" . To contract, for example, for the repair of an apartment to acquaintances of your friends. We performed the work qualitatively and on time - now you already have good fame and advice from the customer to other people who need your services.
  2. Newspaper advertising it doesn’t always seem to work - huge rows of speakers from competitors in the same vein, and it’s not a fact that you will be chosen. A horse's move - for example, to order from a printing house to place your advertisement "upside down" - and the customer will definitely "bite" on such a cunning trick.
  3. post ads on the doors of entrances (for this, freshly commissioned houses with apartments under the “black key” are best suited) and dilapidated houses where the apartments require repair.
  4. Make promotional business cards or flyers , and go around each apartment, handing them out. Of course, a larger percentage of leaflets will fly into the trash can, but some customers will be interested.
  5. The Internet is also no exception. . Place your ads in the original style (not only “team, we will do it, on time”), but some creativity will not hurt either. It is advisable to insert your photos from past, successful objects. The more sites where your ads will be, the sooner you will be noticed.

Risks associated with opening a company for the repair and decoration of an apartment

The main risks are inconsistency in the team or inadequate customers.

  • Warn the team right away - there are no irreplaceable people, and there will be no concessions . A worker has gone on a drinking binge - for the first time he will confine himself to a warning and "hit his pocket with a ruble." The same picture was repeated - to immediately dismiss and look for a replacement for him. But conscientious and responsible workers must be encouraged with a bonus - their performance will only increase.
  • With customers, no matter what they are, always be polite and tactful . Even if he is rude not on business - to find a compromise. For example, according to the contract and estimate, the outlet is installed 10 cm from the floor, but when buying a refrigerator, such an outlet did not suit him, you need 20 cm. It doesn’t matter - make an additional estimate and contract, taking into account the work of an electrician, dismantling and installation. If the employee himself “screwed up”, this will be his problem, respectively, he will have to redo it without additional payment.
  • Be sure to take an advance payment (advance payment) before work, at least for materials, so as not to risk in case of force majeure spending out of your pocket and not getting paid at all. If, after the work has been completed, the customer refuses to pay and hides in every possible way, then everything must be resolved in a civilized way, without resorting to crime. Of course, sue, taking into account non-pecuniary damage and costs for each day of delay (this must first be indicated in the Agreement).
  • All documents before starting work must be perfect: contracts, estimates, later - acts on the work performed. Yes, the trouble and risk also lies in the fact that when you get to the object of the non-payer, you will later have to answer to the team - they have done their job, and your problem is to solve the payment from the customer. Here you will have to fork out your own ruble to the employees in order to keep a reliable team.
