Repair of a three-room apartment in a new building
Renovation of a three-room apartment in a new building will make it more individual. In some cases, this will smooth out the shortcomings and mistakes of the builders. However, in any situation, the work should be carried out as carefully and thoughtfully as possible - and all the subtleties must be taken into account.

Repair in a new building can be cosmetic, in some cases, include redevelopment, including design.
Cosmetic
This option for repairing a three-room apartment is carried out most often. This procedure implies only minor interior renovation and private improvements. Usually limited to changing the decoration in the bathrooms, wallpaper. Quite often they paint the walls and decorate the ceilings in other rooms.
The cost of cosmetic repairs is relatively low.
The overwhelming majority of people have all the necessary experience to do cosmetic repairs with their own hands. But contacting professional craftsmen or construction firms will significantly save time.
It is worth remembering that in a 3-room apartment you may also need:
- disassembly of structures that have ceased to be necessary;
- alignment of walls and other surfaces;
- leveling ceilings and floors;
- installation of skirting boards;
- replacement of fittings in bathrooms;
- decorating slopes on windows;
- replacement of interior and exterior doors.
With redevelopment
This type of work is a subtype of major repairs. It is much more difficult than cosmetic room refinement. However, this is the only way to radically change the appearance of the home. Overhaul with turnkey redevelopment may require more than a month. And even if professionals are involved who work closely and only at one facility, it is unlikely that it will be possible to significantly speed up the process.
You will have to change your lifestyle for the duration of the renovation. It is almost impossible for the sole owner of an apartment to make repairs and live there at the same time. And for a family with children, the option to equip one room by moving to another is not worth considering at all. Therefore, the cost of the repair itself is invariably added to the payment for renting a rental housing or moving to a hotel. Yes, and things during major repairs will have to be moved somewhere; it will not always be possible to cover them properly.
Important: overhaul, unlike cosmetic, is built according to the strictest algorithm.
They start with rough dirty work. Only after that they take up the finishing and install the doors. Of course, the working hours have to be coordinated with the requirements of the law on silence. During the overhaul of a three-room apartment, a lot of garbage is invariably generated, and sometimes you have to order its removal.
Redevelopment will inevitably also require coordination with the housing supervision authorities.
Gross violation of their requirements or unauthorized reorganization of the home can lead to a serious fine or punishment in court. Redevelopment overhauls often include:
- putty and painting of various surfaces;
- laying out skirting boards;
- the formation of the floor screed;
- laying floor coverings;
- painting of metal pipes and other utilities;
- replacement of ventilation;
- installation of additional air conditioners;
- laying out tiles;
- change of electrical wiring;
- installation of sockets, socket boxes, distribution boxes;
- plumbing installation;
- installation of heated towel rails.
When contacting a construction company, you should check if it has the required license.
In the process of work, you will have to keep a scrupulous log of fixing construction manipulations. If hidden works should be noted in it, an act on hidden works must be drawn up, which must be signed by the customer, the contractor and the supervision service. A new certificate for a re-planned apartment is issued by the bureau of technical inventory in 2-3 weeks. If the total area has changed, you will need to issue a new certificate of ownership.
Designer
This is another overhaul option. It most often includes just redevelopment. But instead of looking for standard solutions, a specific scheme is built individually. The style is also selected individually. Design apartments are often divided into zones, each of which is decorated in a special style. - the help of a professional allows you to visually coordinate them as clearly as possible.
With a designer renovation, the perception of the entire room is necessarily improved. The quality of life rises significantly. The most modern materials are actively used. All constructive solutions must fully comply with the design project.
A typical feature of modern design is always the use of three-dimensional visualization.
Experienced designers strive to follow current trends to maximize the value of a finished home. Therefore, the high cost of their work is largely justified. A true design approach implies the maximum use of all useful corners of the room. Only professionals know how to display furniture as clearly as possible and place lighting fixtures.
Stages
Whatever type of repair is carried out - design, major with redevelopment, major without redevelopment, or even just cosmetic - the work is divided into clear stages. The first step is invariably the preparation of a verified plan and projects. Only on the basis of such documents can all costs be calculated correctly. They will also allow you to assess the need for building materials.
In design projects, a list of necessary works is necessarily provided.
When the design project and other materials are agreed upon, the dismantling of unnecessary structures and parts begins.... And they will definitely be even in a new building. After removing all unnecessary, they begin to decorate the walls. Simultaneously with it or a little later, they are engaged in the installation of doors, electrics and ceilings.
And also at this stage:
- putty surfaces;
- use plaster;
- change radiators;
- are engaged in waterproofing;
- the screed is poured;
- mount plasterboard partitions;
- install gas, heating, water and sewer pipes;
- change the wiring.
And the final stage of the renovation is cleaning. It just seems that everything is too simple here. In practice competent cleaning of the apartment after finishing is troublesome and is unlikely to bring pleasure... Remnants of glue, putty, paint, chips, shavings, sawdust, cuttings and debris will need to be removed. Sometimes the case is delayed for 1-2 days, and in order to save time, you have to contact a cleaning company.
Advice
It is very important to pay attention to the selection of professionals. This is very difficult, because even teams and companies that have been tested on personal experience can suddenly behave somehow differently. Further it is worth buying a maximum of things for repair yourself... This will significantly save money. Consulting professionals is one thing, but excessive trust in them is quite another (and it is not justified very often).
It should be borne in mind that the most economical option for wall decoration in a new apartment is painting. This is fully consistent with the approach taken in Europe.
It is very important to tune in for a long, at least 1.5-2 months, repair. It is recommended to buy building materials from online stores or building hypermarkets.And one more tip: all the work at the preparatory stage that you can do on your own should be done on your own, this will give the best result.
Beautiful examples
The photo shows the result of a good-quality repair of a three-room apartment. Glossy stretch ceiling and other light surfaces are diluted with light gray areas that imitate "wild stone". Finishing the floor with laminate is quite appropriate.
Shown here is another concept of designer renovation - with the formation of a dark gray wall. It contrasts with both the light ceiling and the dark brown floor.
And here is another option for repairing a three-room apartment. Both extended and spotlights on the ceiling are skillfully used. The walls are mostly decorated with wallpaper, but tiles were used in one place. Light laminate and slightly darker wood grain surfaces look very good. In general, the composition can be taken at least as a basis for an independent creative search.
