How to order a project via the Internet.

Ready to use house project - how to order

Common concerns:

1. If we do not see a living person, we may not be given what is needed.

2. Due to the fact that we can not explain what we need, we will not be able to choose what is suitable.

3. The prepayment for the project is 100%, you can get money, but the project is not to give.

4. Shipment of the project by mail or carriers.

5. I do not want to buy a project through intermediaries.

6. Need an individual project.

7. Is it possible to return the project if he didn’t like it?

Let's try to figure out the points:

1. If we do not see a living person, we may not be given what is needed.

If we came to a super modern office with a leggy secretary and we were met by a man architect, this does not mean anything. The appearance of the person and the office says nothing about the qualifications of the company and especially about the quality of the project.

Different specialists work on different projects:

architect (overall concept, plans, facades),
designer (calculations of foundations, floor structures, roof ...),
other specialists may be involved (electricians, plumbers, specialists in ventilation, etc., depending on the need).
If the company is not working on one or two projects, these people can be quite a lot.

It’s not a fact that the person who worked on the technical documentation you like works in the office (using e-mail, he doesn’t even have to be located in a particular country).

So how to be ...?

The answer is simple. In order to get a quality project you need to know that it guarantees responsibility (not only legal, but also financial ... and in certain cases, criminal), and these are:

title page with a wet seal and signature of the head of the project organization,

copy of the license for design works and the qualification certificate of the architect (both copies are certified with wet stamps),

an explanatory note describing the structures of this building, the designation of the project's compliance with building codes, the stamp of the organization and the signature of the chief architect (who is responsible for the constructive decisions).

architectural and constructive parts with the signatures of the people who worked on them (See Project Composition).

With what should be in the technical documentation sort of sorted out, it remains to figure out how to get it.

Here will help us what helps when buying a car, a refrigerator, etc., namely the contract, which will include:

composition of the project
constructions
cost,
terms, name of the project organization,
a wet seal and the signature of the manager and we can receive it by mail (or by email).
2. We cannot explain what we need. We can not find what is suitable.

And here we will help the same Internet.

You can send the developer links and your scanned images and see the proposed options.

You can look at a similar finished project and for a fee to modify it to fit your requirements. If all the above options are not suitable, then an individual project remains.

3. Payment for the finished project 100% in advance.

In this case, the fears of the project organization about the unpaid, but sent work emerge. And again we will be helped by a previously signed contract and payment on the bill (to the contract) through the bank. If the speed of acquiring and sending a project is important, then there may be offered a payment option on the card (but in this case the contract and bank option disappears, the contract by mail is a week) All arrangements are made by phone or email (higher speed, but higher risks ).

We also want to remind you that the Internet is a treasure trove of information, if once deceived clients of unscrupulous specialists write their reviews on related sites and forums, it may not be possible to remove them (so it’s not twofold to deceive clients on the Internet).

4. Shipment of the project by mail or carriers.

Here the risks are minimal and there is nothing to be afraid of, even if the package is suddenly lost to Visa (and the probability of loss is very small, receipts and declarations remain when sent), it is not difficult for the sender to send another copy. (for all the time through the Internet, all projects have reached the addressees)

5. I do not want to buy a project through intermediaries.

When buying through intermediaries (the so-called online shopping) there are both convenient and uncomfortable sides.

Conveniently, intermediaries work with many design organizations and, accordingly, the number of specialists in online stores is dozens of times higher than the number of designers.

It is not convenient that if you need to make changes to the technical documentation, the mediator does not know thoroughly all the projects that he has on the site and cannot promptly answer your questions.

The price for intermediaries and for designers is often the same, sometimes less (when the intermediary gives a part of his interest as a discount to attract customers)

6. Need an individual project.

As with modern individual design, in one city, all sketches and approvals are carried out by e-mail, and the contract

can be sent by mail or carrier.

7. It is not possible to return the project if he did not like.

As with all intellectual property (books, magazines, reference books) projects are not returned. All thoughts and clarifications are carried out before the purchase of the project (by email you can ask to send plans, facades and cuts to get a complete picture of the house.)

The advantages of buying through the Internet: freedom of choice, the possibility of agreeing on the details, the speed of obtaining the project ....

As practice shows, a house project is the most important part at the construction planning stage and saves much more money than it costs.
