and other construction conditions for investigation. The survey involved 10 decorative design engineering companies, including Jiuding, Sundu, Dongyi Niksheng, Jiucheng, Yiyang, Mingsing, Bozhou, Kangyuan, Ruilan and Green Talent House. 28, the results of the survey on home wear were announced. In this investigation, investigators found that some companies in the design has not been completed in the case of the owners to sign a contract, not only in violation of the decoration contract signed the normal procedures, but also to the late home improvement works brought hidden dangers. For example, air conditioning and water pipe laying errors make the living room ceiling need to be re-trimmed, design omissions lead to the room can not install curtains, counter design errors caused by low space utilization and other issues, when the owners of these design omissions require free rework, decoration company will be "construction according to the map" to say that it is not at fault, only outside the contractual obligations paid rework. The owner had to pay for the designer's inse thought. In addition, after the signing of the contract part of the decoration company did not inform the owners under the premise of automatic default to provide the owners with minimum standards of decoration design and construction, if the owners in the decoration process is not satisfied with the effect of decoration, can only improve the quality of decoration by way of price increases. This passive price increase makes the owners sick. In this regard, Zhejiang Family Wear Association reminded owners, in signing the decoration contract, must first talk about design and budget costs, and in the contract clearly marked out the process standards, especially with what materials, what specifications, what grade, must have a detailed description, refused to use such as "cabinet body", "cabinet box with a large core version", "solid wood edge" and other fuzzy words, so as to avoid the construction party to take advantage of contract loopholes to steal materials or cut materials. In addition to the contract problem, the reporter followed the provincial consumer protection committee volunteers and provincial home improvement association experts visited the decoration site found that the major decoration companies have some quality leakage and construction details errors, these do not meet the construction quality norms of the phenomenon and the project manager supervision is not in place, design drawings themselves leakage has a certain relationship. In addition, the investigation, investigators in the urban sunshine and garden has been completed in the living room and bedroom, the city of dawn a home of the master bedroom and living room, Mengqin Bay Jiayuan a family study and second bedroom, multi-blue water bank community Ramboyuan a household The southeast bedroom and the southwest bedroom respectively set up air collection points, by Zhejiang Furniture and Hardy Research in accordance with GB50325-2010 "civil construction indoor environmental pollution control norms" standards for the four completed construction of the house air quality testing. According to formaldehyde (0.080mg/m3), (0.09mg/m3), TVOC (0.5mg/m3) reference standards, the air quality of the four houses overall exceeded the standard, are not qualified. Formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances in home furnishings mainly come from all kinds of decoration materials in the decoration room. At present, there are many decoration owners in the market are inclined to choose the "half-pack" way of decoration, self-purchase decoration materials to reduce the cost of decoration or improve the quality of decoration purposes. Provincial Home Improvement Association reminds you to have decoration plans of the owners, if the owners choose to buy part of the decoration materials, then the decoration company can not guarantee its quality, once detected air quality problems, the responsible party can not be identified, no accountability, the owners can only make up through their own late to improve the indoor air environment.
