"Wild teams": pro and contra

SHabashnichali in Russia always. And how long there is a demand, there will be an offer. Umeltsy-masters "able fingers" have been favourite by the people. They wandered from object on object alone or getting off for a while in so-called "wild" (manumissions, flying etc.) teams. Worked cheap but good, as they say, claim-free. Factors of social and economic property increased their army.
And all would be good, if our prompt time did not begin to make the rigid and high demands. Now the variant "claim-free&uot; does not pass. In the market of building services there was a customer absolutely other type - the private investor who puts up the money that is why carefully them considers.
The household development plan has extended from level “to whitewash a ceiling - to re-stick wall-paper” before capital-intensive complex repair of apartment or country house building. When to a course there are internal funds, it would not be desirable to build "by eye" any more.
There were new technologies and toolkit, excellent materials and the equipment. The budget of private building has repeatedly grown. Design decisions have become complicated. There was a sharp requirement globally to paint and count forthcoming process to trifles.
New game rules civil engineering firms became more active and have accepted. They have sharply lifted a lath of requests to the staff. Training and training, improvement of professional skill and studying of the newest receptions of the organisation of works - here the integral making trades of the modern builder, wishing to march in step with the client.
The most qualified building workers - the big deficiency! They in great demand. Civil engineering firms sharply compete among themselves in this plan, zealously keeping the best workers. The same who does not keep up or mismatches today’s requests, will be left in the basket.
If mentally to clean from staff of a civil engineering firm of all engineering employees making the brain centre, and also the qualified building workers the remained helpers and will make typical wild team.
Its unemployed who once have typed of elementary skills on different buildings, nizkooplachivaemyie, mismatching high professional requests or driven for infringements of industrial discipline will add.
So, "wild" teams are naturally gathered collectives far not the best workers. The workers who have been not claimed by professional construction firms.
"Wild" teams get to hospitable embraces of those ignorant inhabitants which in a natural impulse to save are subject to a harmful mental syndrome “as all” and perceive only one argument of building - its cheapness.
From all indicators of repair or building, of course, the main thing is its cost. Unfortunately, for the majority this parametre remains the only thing from all considered. It forces the potential customer to pay the look towards national umeltsev. It (is more exact, lack of information of the customer) to the full use shabashniki.
And so far as to services of these teams any part of customers last it would be useful to acquire addresses, that these services are simply obliged to be really cheap. 10 times less the prices of civil engineering firms. For example, at complex overhaul of apartment ("European-quality repair" hotly favourite by the population) specific cost of the works executed by free team in cash, should not exceed level 50 u.e./m2. If it not so know, that get into your pocket.
The price/quality still nobody cancelled a parity. The degree of quality and integrated approach of services of firm and people from the street, called to you builders is non-comparable! About the prices, unfortunately it you will not tell. I speak, because I know.
In what feature of work of wild teams? Where from them advantage, and where harm?
I will look at a problem from an item of "the building attorney”, the professional civil engineer who is on guard of interests of the customer-consumer. If who seriously suffers from activity shabashnikov so it is the private investor, the customer, or, easier speaking, each of us.
In the branch requiring obligatory extensive special knowledge and experience, sharing of laymans leads to especially sad consequences: to the big losses of time, health and, naturally, the finance.
If at you the modest budget, and in plans - small volumes, linear or plane kinds of works, minimum complexes with minimum degree of responsibility, are desire to take part of cares on organisation and supply on, etc. - invite shabashnikov.
If it is a question of building of an apartment house or apartment overhaul the choice should be only one: a civil engineering firm. With itself it is better not to play the hypocrite: the money saved during production of works, will turn back much bigger expenses in operation. It is an axiom!
"Wild" teams not only not in a condition qualitatively to execute a complex optimum vzaimouvyazannyih amounts of works and services (not having necessary staff, knowledge of experience, the equipment etc.), they cannot competently allocate necessary volumes at all and kinds of works to calculate materials, expenditures of labour and other initial parametres for agreement drawing up.
Nevertheless, being represented by builders, they always considerably overestimate level of the skill in the opinion of the customer. Try to ask for the sake of interest for them qualifying books. The subsequent mute scene will show, that before you "kitchen" umelets, possessing skills at household level.
The more ambiguities for the customer are concealed in itself by forthcoming action, the more confidently felt by "masters". And slow repair with not clear budget in general the best environment of their dwelling. Not burdened with knowledge, they move the same errors from object on object, putting huge harm to the clients.
Customers who follow the tastes of cheap teams (and they are cheap and consequently, that is far not all provide in the accounts at all visibility of complete integrated approach of their services), it is necessarily serious “get on money”. Either in the course of works, or in operation.
Civil engineering firms, making accounting, carefully consider as a part of the cost price a factor cost (including a wage bill) proceeding from a complete technological spectrum of services, an overhead charge and other components of cost put out to the customer. Guarantee responsibility will not allow firm that in a case with team can necessarily - simplify a problem.
The slyness (read - a deceit of clients) is carried out approximately under the following scenario, giving rise to the next variant “potemkinskoy villages” with all following sad consequences.
Workers-shabashnikam can swindle the customer from its tacit consent, having encouraged not which client the underestimated sum of the factor cost hastily counted on metric area.
The customer willingly goes on cooperation, not imagining that part of an iceberg which it is not visible to the nonprofessional. It involve in cheap building extremely clear at first sight. Then run “any-different unforeseen and additional”. At first circumstances, then volumes and kinds of works, at last, means. Yes-yes, those which have not been considered earlier. Deliberately or not - other question.
The client understands, that has got, too late: building in a heat. More often the ending of these relations the following: not complete building, "box" of the house with the mortgaged defects, procorfs of the bases, cracks in walls, water in a cellar, etc., endlessly. Then to finish “to mind” similar product, be required not only heavy expenses of means.
Assorting results of work, analyzing consequences and summing up activity of "wild" teams on numerous objects, I will draw a conclusion: having pursued cheapness, the client as a result pays not one, and one and a half-two object. Or jams on the building middle: means have come to an end, the team has run up, and the desired house all is not present. However, all know, that “Ministry of Health warns”, but some nevertheless smoke …
Contrary to a popular belief, cheapness of repair of apartment or building domayavlyaetsya a sign of natural nonprofessionalism of the customer. Means, necessarily there will be simplifications and omissions, nedodacha building services. But it does not confuse "masters", as well as other problems of the client, after all the main thing for them - to receive the order and to take money.
For those who was convinced by these paragraphs, I will notice what to involve shabashnikov without heavy consequences it is possible only in following cases:
· works have linear or plane character;
· small volumes or separate kinds of works are scheduled;
· low cost of services means a corresponding skill level (claim-free from the customer);
· the customer incurs all cares on the organisation, supply of materials, technical supervision, quality assurance;
· the customer removes all responsibility from the involved contractor for possible infringements of technology and decrease in quality of works.
Thus, visiting object, reduce to minimum any conversations and discussions with workers. The normal building worker has no authorities of dialogue with the customer concerning the accepted decisions. It should perform the work. Negotiations with the client - destiny of the engineer or the designer. They make of the decision and are responsible for them. All decisions on building should be fixed in writing.
SHabashnikov, however, it does not concern. They often are afraid of written fixing of relations. Definiteness is alien to them. But complete clearness is necessary to you. Therefore it is necessary to make necessarily the agreement, accurately to designate volumes and kinds of works. To reflect cost and term of their fulfilment. To allocate technological stages. To provide cases of possible depreciation. To finance building only after acceptance of the previous stage. Well and, at last, to hope, that, maybe, to you will carry: there are pleasant exceptions.
The requirement of the person for arrangement of the dwelling will not run out never. But "wild" teams - the child of our difficult time. The future - behind professional construction firms. My forecast: in due course, waves of economic growth, increase of well-being, legal field stabilisation for ever smoyut concept of the nonprofessional builder.

Trying today to tie as the contractor, it will move on own kitchen and will accept shape of the house master. But now to handicraftsmen the right to a life is granted. A choice - for you, customers. Only remember, that the avaricious pays twice!
