Budgets, contracts, payments and information ... Before hiring a professional, you need to take some care not to get bored and spend more money than expected in the work. Check out the tips from experts

Rio - only to hear the word 'work', the business manager Bianca Martins, 30, feel chills. Experience with the reform of the apartment was almost traumatic: trade of masons, with very high material costs and time exploded - the work that was to be done in two months, lasted seven. Six months pregnant, the nurse Ivana Souza, 29, is without a sink and refrigerator is in the middle of the kitchen. It was abandoned by the builder and his work is stopped. To prevent the reform from becoming a nightmare, you need to take some care important.

Hiring professional should be surrounded by care. It is important to make sure that the person - be it mason, painter, plumber or even an architect - has the qualifications to function properly. Indications are even welcome, but, anyway, it is essential to know the history of the person. If the professional is hired to be an architect, the ideal is to make a visit to your workplace.

"Worth a visit so you can see the support staff of professional photographs of some work carried out and finally feel face to face is rolled that chemistry," teaches the architect Flavio Hermolin.

Bianca Martins drew on the alert to hire a mason to work from his apartment. The result was not the best. "A friend said he was very good, and I trust and my boyfriend. Then we had to hire another builder and he broke the wall of the bathroom, broken tiles and Truck. I very unlucky with Mason. Not everyone who is nominated is good, "lamented Bianca.

The error in the choice of professionals resulted in waste of material than is necessary. The amount of ink that the administrator has bought, for example, you could paint his apartment three times. Hiring inappropriate may cause the work to be redone several times.

The payment can also give a lot of headaches. Never give money in advance and negotiate what it will cost before each part of the reform. Pay for days worked may be synonymous with prejudice a worker may be smarter than you think. Excuses such as lack of material and the wall that needs to dry can make the work will be much more expensive than originally planned. The recommendation is to pay according to the steps completed.

All interventions should be included in contract

Before starting the work to be done a budget. It is important to detail everything. Nothing should be left out. "When you hire someone, I write down everything that was agreed, because many things Mason said he had not been combined," says Ivana. How often work informally employed, the contract is left out.

If you happen Mason abandon the work and disappear with the money already paid, nothing can be done without a document signed by the parties. Only the contract will allow the customer to use its right of consumer and, where appropriate, enable the Court.

The contract must include: name, address and identity of the trader and the client, type of service and address that will be done; value of labor, value of equipment included in the price, conditions and forms of payment, start dates and termination of service, time and terms of contractual warranty, and signed by both parties and witnesses.
