How to open a repair company where to start. Determining the range of services and drawing up a price list of orders

The market for home renovation and design services is extremely saturated. Licensed companies entitled to this type of activity are competed by numerous brigades of covens, the cost of whose services, as a rule, is low, but the quality of their work is at the same level. The demand for construction services is stable, which means that this business is profitable. Not everyone knows how to open an apartment renovation company, but there are many who want to start this one. And no wonder: with a competent approach, this type of activity will bring considerable income.

Where to begin?

First of all, you need to decide on the right form of activity. Two options are possible here: if you plan to work mainly on your own or with a small number of assistants, then it would be wiser to register as an individual entrepreneur. In the event that your ideas are large-scale and there is a goal to cover as wide a range of the market as possible, then it is recommended to register as an LLC (a company with limited liability). This will enable you to work with legal entities: conclude contracts and make settlements both in cash and non-cash.

Next, you will need to take care of obtaining a license to perform repair and finishing work. In accordance with federal law"About Licensing certain types activities" in the section "Finishing works" the following list is indicated:

plastering and stucco works;
decorative and finishing;
glass works;
facing;
installation of suspended (stretch) ceilings, panels and plates with front finishing.

The license can be obtained for a period of 2 months and 5 years. This is a simple matter, you just need to collect the whole package required documents. Large customers prefer to work with licensed companies, as this indicates their reliability and seriousness of intentions to linger for a long time. As of October 2013, the cost of a license for the simplest type of finishing work (plastering) is 1300 rubles. Another 1500 thousand rubles. you need to pay for a consultation with a specialist who will explain what documents you will need to provide and when to expect a permit to work. With an increase in the list of services provided, the cost of a license also increases.

Search for personnel and formation of teams

At the beginning of the formation of the company, you can get by with a minimum number of specialists. Only four are enough: plasterer, electrician, plumber, carpenter. It is highly desirable that half of them have higher education. The fact is that a prerequisite for obtaining a license is the presence of such specialists in the staff of the company, and their number should be at least 50% of the number of all employees of the company. There are also certain qualification requirements for employees. If he is a young specialist, and no more than 3 years have passed since he graduated from the university, then he does not need to confirm his qualifications. In all other cases, you will have to take courses to improve it.

With regard to the members of your team, you need to be demanding, but at the same time a democratic leader. Withholding money or skimping on workers' wages is considered bad manners. It should be understood that such an attitude will not add good fame to the company. And rumors about a dishonest leader spread quickly, and soon you may find yourself faced with the fact that only mediocrity and non-professionals agree to work for you. A good specialist will not come to work in such a company. Therefore, from the very beginning it is important to develop the right policy in relation to those who work for you, and to fulfill all promises for the payment of earned money.

How to find clients

The most effective way to find someone who needs repairs is to put up ads directly on the entrances residential buildings. It must be produced regularly, as these pieces of paper tend to disappear quickly. In order to avoid claims against the company from housing and communal companies, it has recently become possible to conclude contracts with them for advertising on special bulletin boards located at each entrance. The amount to pay for the permit will need a small amount, and it will save a lot of nerves.

Another in an efficient way customer search is to hire advertising posters in public transport. This method of attracting people interested in home improvement services has two goals at once: finding a client and advertising your company. Over time, the name of the company will be remembered, and it will gain some fame. But you can not rely only on the owners of apartments. There are many businesses and institutions that require cosmetic or overhaul. It makes sense to pay attention to schools, kindergartens, canteens, shops, offices. It will be more relevant to leave booklets and business cards there.

Advice: First stage business for beginners provides for a narrow specialization. This will provide a constant income, and a stable flow of customers. It is not recommended to take on high-paying projects right away.

Plan of finishing and repair works

Before you open a business, you should rent an office space. This will allow you to receive customers and advise on a future repair plan. The next stage is the purchase (rent) of the necessary tool:

Set of keys and screwdrivers.
Perforator.
Spatulas of various sizes.
Screwdriver.

You are working to achieve a leading position. You have to stand out from the "crowd". This approach includes learning the secrets of advertising:

We sell ourselves in moderation - this means that you are aimed at positive result for client. The cost of services should not exceed the accepted norms.
The organization of an advertising campaign includes the distribution of price lists with types of services, ads on the Internet, and the creation of a company website.

We eliminate risks

Opening an apartment renovation company means drawing up a certain risk plan. To maintain the liquidity of the company will allow the secrets of removing negative situations:

Divergence of opinions about the repair with the customer. There are situations when the client wants to save money and asks you to change the repair plan. In this case, if you are 100% sure that the company's strategy is successful, you can argue with the customer. The conflict is resolved through communication and consultation: explain to the client possible losses while implementing his ideas.
Buying low-quality materials. The best solution is to make agreements with construction company, and purchase inventory and parts only from trusted suppliers.
Completion of work within the deadlines set by the customer. This is the standard. If you do not have time to complete the repair (belated delivery of equipment, negligent crew), warn the client. Force majeure occurs unexpectedly, and the customer will meet you halfway.

We determine the cost of our services at the first stage, before opening a company. There are several forms of work that will immediately bring good money:

Floor dismantling.
Visualization of the apartment space.
Wall and ceiling decoration.
Replacement of panels, skirting boards, and laminate.
Reconstruction of window openings.
Troubleshooting plumbing and electrical problems.
Finishing of wall planes.

You can open and start your own business through consistency. The organization of work on the repair of apartments includes an analysis of all the nuances and subtleties.

Gone are the days when people made their own repairs at home. Today, more than 90% of the population seek help in this matter from special organizations or individual entrepreneurs. Therefore, despite significant competition, it is possible to find your niche in this area, but for this you will have to work hard. Getting your home renovation business up to par requires not only an original idea, but also a carefully thought out plan.

Before building a business, you need to analyze the market situation, identify your competitors, assess their strengths and weaknesses in order to rely on this information in the future.

Assessment of the competitive environment and demand

It is difficult to assess the market for apartment renovation services, since a large number of firms that are engaged in the repair of apartments, work according to "black" or "gray" schemes, underestimating the actual amount of revenue in official reporting. Nevertheless, market experts say that the service sector for finishing apartments is very saturated.

In order to break into the market and create sustainable demand, you will need to work on your reputation and expand your customer base. This is due to the fact that in the best possible way attracting customers is the so-called word of mouth.

Therefore, from the very first days of work, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the services offered, compliance with deadlines and agreements, polite and attentive treatment of the customer.

Do-it-yourself apartment renovation is gradually becoming a thing of the past, today more and more families are resorting to the help of professionals in this matter

Finding a working idea and choosing a target niche

At the start of your activity, you need to decide in which price segment you will work.

The premium segment implies a greater amount of investment, the need for an attractive office to receive clients, the maintenance of designers, architects, landscape designers, etc. on the staff.

Entering the economy segment is much easier and cheaper, but incomes in it will be relatively low, and competition will be high.

The RUSGLOBAL company provides data that about 60% of customers order cosmetic repairs worth up to 200 thousand rubles, 30% - up to 1 million rubles, and more than 1 million rubles - less than 10%.

The optimal option can be called the middle segment - the cost of entry is acceptable, the competition is moderate. At the same time, you will be able to serve clients at any price level, depending on the situation: such narrow specialists as a designer or architect can be outsourced, and meet with clients on their territory, at least for the first time of work.

The middle price segment is the best option for a target niche for a novice businessman

How to organize the work of the company

In parallel with the choice of the target segment, you should decide on the concept of work: will you perform only a specific service or will you take responsibility for the execution complete list services that may be of interest to the client. In conditions of rather tough competition, the second option seems more appropriate. Even if there are no specialists in your team, you can attract third-party workers on a subcontract basis. Clients will appreciate this approach.

Choice of funding sources

It's great if you have savings that you can invest in a business. Otherwise, you will have to think about a loan. Few banks will finance the creation of a new business, so you will receive a loan as an individual. Interest rate in this case, it starts on average from 14–15%. Another option may be to attract investors - private or corporate. Recently, this method has become increasingly popular.

After you have decided on the general concept of work, target audience project financing, proceed with the implementation of the main business plan.

Get ready for the fact that at first you will have to finance the business from your own funds

Detailed business plan of the company

The business plan includes a description of the following stages of work: registration of a company, recruitment, drawing up a range of services and a price list, organizing an advertising campaign.

Features of registering a business in the field of apartment renovation

The registration stage does not present any particular difficulties, since, unlike construction, in the field of repair there is no need to obtain any special permits or licenses.

Your actions may be as follows:

Register as a legal entity. You can choose the form of a limited liability company (LLC) or an individual entrepreneur (IP). The latter option is simpler and less expensive.
Choose the form of taxation. Apartment renovation is a household service, so you can choose not only a simplified form of taxation (STS), but also a single tax on imputed income (UTII). However, remember that you can apply UTII only by working with individuals. If you will also be engaged in the repair of offices and other non-residential premises, you will have to switch to the simplified tax system. According to this system, 2 options for rates are defined: 6% of total amount income or 15% of the difference between income and expenses. You can choose any of them.
An important stage is the production of a seal and the opening of a current account.

In addition to the above points, do not forget to also write standard contracts for the provision of services that you can later use to work with clients, and in the event of an unfavorable development of events, in court. You will also need a detailed price list with a description of the list of work performed and prices.

Registering a business does not take long, home renovation business does not require special licenses or permits

Recruitment

Personnel is the most important resource for any construction company. After all, the quality of the work performed will depend on the professionalism of your employees, their conscientiousness and commitment.

Cons and Pros of Starting an Apartment Renovation Business

All the risks that are typical for the apartment renovation business can be conditionally divided into external and internal.

External include:

a highly competitive environment. In a highly competitive environment, many companies are cutting prices to attract more clients. However, this is not the most efficient way: as a rule, only large organizations can afford to significantly reduce prices. If you have a small turnover, you will not be able to compete with them. Therefore, it is best to focus on the quality of services provided, the professionalism of employees and individual approach to each client;
decrease in demand for services. Against the backdrop of the prevailing negative economic conditions, reducing the purchasing power of the population, the demand for apartment renovation services has decreased;

seasonal nature of the business. Although repairs can be done at any time of the year, the demand for services in winter is significantly reduced, and this must be taken into account when planning your activities.

Internals include:

reputational risk. It can be associated with poor-quality performance of work, failure to meet deadlines and other factors. It is in your power to avoid such moments. Remember that negative publicity about the company spreads much faster and wider than positive;
the risk of non-payment for the performance of work. To reduce the impact of this risk, be sure to document the relationship with the client;
downtime risk. To ensure a constant flow of customers, pay attention to advertising: it is important that it is not episodic, but permanent.

In order for the business to prosper, be attentive to the study of risks and think about ways to work with them.

The business of renovating and decorating apartments is gaining more and more popularity. Everything is currently engaged in interior decoration large quantity both private entrepreneurs and large companies. However, for all its seeming simplicity and profitability, this business has many pitfalls that can be bypassed, armed with the necessary knowledge and a competent action plan.

Renovation of premises: the essence of the idea

Apartment renovation is one of the most common areas of business activity. Since man moved to live from huts and caves to houses and apartments, there has always been a need for their repair.

In Russia, even with the most severe competitive environment the repair team will always find orders for finishing the apartments. This is, firstly, due to the fact that new apartments in multi-storey buildings are mostly rented out with significant flaws and without serious repair and finishing work it is simply impossible to live in them. Almost every owner wants to refurbish a new home according to their taste, needs and, of course, funds.

Secondly, every year tens and hundreds of thousands of apartments are sold on the secondary market and most of them are in need of repair. First of all, this applies to bathrooms and toilets. And finally, thirdly, with a frequency of five to ten years, there comes a moment when Maintenance residential or office space becomes essential.

At the same time, the apartment renovation business is one of the most complex types entrepreneurial activity in both technological and organizational aspects. And if you want your business to prosper, then only the ability to carry out high-quality repairs is not enough. You will also need a good customer base and a well-crafted action plan.

How to start an apartment renovation business from scratch

Refurbishment of premises is an area of business that government bodies can be controlled with great difficulty. Keeping track of the many thousands of crews involved in finishing apartments with cash payment is impossible. But in order to repair apartments not only of their closest neighbors, legalization of entrepreneurship is necessary.

It is much calmer and more efficient, from a financial point of view, to purchase equipment, look for and find new customers, and carry out repairs with the help of an officially registered enterprise.

Starting your apartment renovation business from scratch, you must provide for the passage of the following stages:

registration and obtaining a license;
recruitment;
purchase of professional equipment;
purchase or rental of vehicles;
building a client base.

How to open a company and get permission to carry out repairs and decoration

To legalize entrepreneurial activity for the repair of apartments, it is necessary:

register the company with the tax authorities.
Obtain a license to carry out construction work.

You can register an enterprise in the form of an individual entrepreneur (individual entrepreneur) or LLC (limited liability company). For small repairs with one or two masters and several helpers, it is enough to register as an individual entrepreneur. If you plan to expand your business in the future, it is better to immediately create an LLC.

You can register an apartment repair company in the form of an individual entrepreneur or LLC

Simultaneously with the registration of the enterprise, it is necessary to choose the taxation system with which you will work. Usually, for small and medium volumes, taxation systems such as the simplified tax system are chosen - simplified system taxation or UTII - a single tax on imputed income.

A simplified system makes it possible to work with both individuals and legal entities, but the amount of income is taken into account. With UTII, the tax is fixed, which is beneficial for large incomes and unprofitable for small ones. And also, when choosing this taxation system, it is difficult to work with legal entities by bank transfer.

If settlements through the bank are already planned initially, then the simplified tax system is definitely preferable. And it is also necessary to take into account that this choice involves opening a bank account.

In order to work in construction areas, it was previously necessary to have a permit or license. Starting from January 1, 2010, the licensing of construction activities has been terminated. Now to have legal right to carry out construction activities, organizations and individual entrepreneurs must join self-regulatory organizations and receive certificates of admission to work there.

To register in a self-regulatory organization, the head of the enterprise must have a higher education in construction. And also he or employees must be specialists in the selected types of construction.

However, if you intend to deal only with repair and finishing work, as well as installing plumbing in apartments, then you will not need permission from a self-regulatory organization, just like the rather expensive and complicated registration in this organization itself.

But if, as a result of repairs, walls are displaced or removed, floors are radically reconstructed, and gas equipment is dismantled and installed, then a permit from the SRO is strictly required. For construction SROs, the entrance fee and the monthly membership fee are 5 thousand rubles. In addition, you must pay insurance in the amount of 3 thousand rubles and a contribution to the Compensation Fund in the amount of 300 thousand rubles.

Therefore, before starting your entrepreneurial activity in the field of apartment renovation, you need to decide on the types of work, as well as the possibility of obtaining permission to carry out these works.

Selection of OKVED codes for companies and individual entrepreneurs

The main works for which there are codes according to the OKVED classification in the field of apartment renovation are the following:

plastering;
joinery or carpentry;
glass;
painting.
electrical installation;
plumbing;
flooring;
wall decoration;
design renovation;
redevelopment of the premises.

As you can see, for the first eight types of work, permission from the SRO is not required.

How to start recruiting

The selection of personnel in the renovation of apartments is almost a key factor in achieving success. Without professional, hardworking and disciplined workers, high-quality and highly efficient apartment renovation is simply impossible.

The specifics of apartment renovation require multidisciplinary specialists. If we are talking about small amounts of work, then the repair team must necessarily include workers of such basic specialties as a painter, plasterer, plumber, tiler and electrician. When work is carried out at once on large objects or at once in several places, it is necessary to include a foreman and an estimator in the staff.

The team for the repair and cladding of apartments, as a rule, includes a plasterer, plumber, electrician, tiler and auxiliary workers.

Working on multiple sites at once has a number of advantages. Here you can do without downtime for walls, floors, ceilings to dry, cement to harden, and so on. At the end of work at one facility, the released workers can go to help the team of the existing facility or start preparatory work on the next one. In the meantime, we are looking for new orders at other construction sites.

With a good continuous flow of new orders for apartment renovation, you can recruit many auxiliary workers, from whom you can “educate” your professional masters.

When considering the features of the selection of personnel, it is impossible not to say about the specifics of payment. Mostly when repairing apartments, piecework payment is used, depending on the amount of work performed and the degree of its complexity. At the same time, appropriate bonuses to the basic salary can be provided for specialists who train young workers.

Categories of apartment renovation and prices for the main types of work

Quite conditionally, three categories of apartment renovation can be distinguished:

finishing or cosmetic repairs;
repair with small or moderate investment, repair of "economy class";
repair using very expensive materials and using an extraordinary (unique) design.

It should be noted that the previously very often used term "European-style renovation" has recently acquired an ironic meaning and its use has become synonymous with bad taste.

It goes without saying that of the listed types of repairs, cosmetic repairs are the cheapest. It is often resorted to simply to mask existing defects before selling the premises: refresh the paint of the ceiling and walls, replace torn wallpaper in some places, replace cracked tiles, and the like. The cost of such repairs in 2019 is about $60–70 per sq. m. m.

The most common and cost-effective for both the customer and the contractor is the economy class repair. This is a repair using Supplies low or medium market value and using a common design, "so that it is no worse than a neighbor." The cost of repairs of this level is from 100 to 120 dollars per square meter.

Luxury repairs are carried out using the most expensive (exclusive) materials. Often, this requires the involvement of experienced, and most importantly, reputable, architects and designers. Price square meter luxury renovations in 2019 range from $150 to $200 per sq. m.

Luxury apartment renovation is the most complex and expensive type of renovation.

Of course, the given prices for the repair of apartments are averaged. IN different regions they are different, but still, in the whole country, prices fluctuate not several times, but in the amount of 10-30 percent.

In the price lists of some construction firms the notorious "European-style renovation" is still mentioned. The classification of types of apartment repairs can also be somewhat different from the above. So, some firms distinguish: rough repairs, major repairs, European-quality repairs, elite repairs and repairs in new buildings.

Here are the prices of turnkey apartment renovation categories. As for certain types of work, they also have a fairly stable price list. As an example, we can cite the average prices for apartment renovation in Moscow and the Moscow region.

However, there is a certain minimum set of special tools and equipment, which is indispensable for any type of repair. This required minimum must include:

levels.

Already along the way, other special equipment is being purchased. For example, to perform tile work, a professional cutter, glass cutters, a special gripper for breaking off cut strips, and so on are purchased. To install windows, you will need a puncher with drills, a drill driver, a foam gun, and so on.

The minimum necessary tools for repairing and facing apartments include: a hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, a hacksaw, wrenches, brushes, levels, rulers

All tools and equipment are best purchased from a single wholesaler. So you can save money and ensure the quality of the purchased goods.

And, of course, already at the very initial stage of the apartment renovation business, you can do without an office, but it is absolutely impossible to do without your own car. Here, first of all, we are not talking about transport for personnel, but about a small truck like a Gazelle, on which equipment and materials can be transported. If there is no money to buy even a used Gazelle, then you can rent a vehicle.

Marketing activities: order picking

In the apartment renovation business, a very important component, especially at the initial stage, is the search for customers. Later, when you form a client base, there will most likely be no end to orders for apartment repairs, however, at first, you need to look for clients.

True, by distributing booklets with the contact details of the enterprise and listing the types of work performed by newcomers who have just moved to unfinished apartments in new buildings, you can very quickly cause an avalanche of orders.

Recently, advertising on specialized sites has become a little more effective. With a significant amount of work, you can create your own website: full or at least one page.

And yet, the most powerful type of advertising was and remains the so-called word of mouth, in which most of your customers come from the reviews of their relatives, friends and neighbors, who are satisfied with the quality repairs you carried out earlier.

From all of the above, the conclusion suggests itself that the marketing of the apartment business, of course, must be comprehensive and multilateral, but the main emphasis should still be on the implementation of high-quality repairs.

Pros and cons of an apartment renovation business plan

Of course, the main and most painful trouble that you may encounter arises if you work illegally, without registering a business activity, or if you do not have permission to carry out certain types of work. The consequences can be very sad: from the prohibition to engage in entrepreneurial activity before bringing to administrative and criminal liability.

However, this is an extreme case and this article is intended for persons who conduct their business quite legally.

The main dangers that threaten entrepreneurs involved in the repair of apartments are problems in work collective and emerging disputes with customers.

What's stopping you from growing your business?

The selection of personnel must be approached with all possible care and caution. The next component of successful work is labor discipline. It is necessary to immediately stop absenteeism, hard drinking, coming to work in drunk, protracted smoke breaks. Violators of discipline must be promptly warned, fined, and, finally, if such measures do not work, dismissed from work.

On the other hand, conscientiously working specialists must be encouraged both in oral and written form, and with the help of cash bonuses and bonuses. It is best that the encouragement be complex both in the form of gratitude and in monetary terms.

How to build good customer relationships and build on success

The other side of the risks is associated with customers. It is very important here not to succumb to provocations and always maintain a polite and correct tone. It is best to indicate in the contract a specific deadline for the completion of work and the amount of the penalty for each overdue day. At first glance, such clauses of the contract seem unprofitable, but in general they are highly disciplined and, if the work is delayed due to the fault of the client, they will help to avoid larger troubles.

When speaking with customers, it is necessary to maintain a polite and gracious tone under all circumstances.

And also, before starting even small-scale work, it is best to take an advance payment, in which, in addition to the amount for the necessary materials, it is preferable to include part of the cost of labor operations. Such an advance will help to avoid the consequences of force majeure, in which the client cannot or does not want to pay for the work performed. At least the money for the materials used you will not need to pay out of your own pocket.

In case of malicious non-payment, it is better to refrain from threats and the use of crime, and go to court. Most often, the customer, in case of a real threat of a trial, pays all the costs himself. In extreme cases, you can make some compromise between you and the client. If the court still could not be avoided, then a sensibly drawn up contract will help a lot here.

In any case, all estimates, contracts and acts of work performed at large facilities must be completed in full, which will significantly reduce the risk of leaving your team without money.

Detailed costing to determine profitability

The profitability of the enterprise is determined by the payback period of the initial investment. For business by apartment renovation initial expenses when opening a business range from 10 thousand dollars or 590 thousand rubles at a rate of 1 dollar = 59 rubles.

The specified amount is made up of the following items of expenses (thousand rubles):

business organization (formal documents, obtaining permits, etc.) - from 50;
rent of office space, warehouse, garage - from 30;
marketing - from 40;
payment for initial inventory and equipment - from 150;
car rental Gazelle - from 350;
the cost of materials - from 150.

If taken as the cost of performing an economy class repair (1 sq. M. - one hundred dollars or 5900 rubles) two-room apartment 50 sq. m. the amount of 5 thousand dollars, then the initial cost of 10 thousand dollars will pay off as a result of the repair of two similar apartments. Of course, in practice, everything does not go as smoothly as on paper. Therefore, the average payback period for an apartment renovation business project is one year.

Apartment renovation is a highly profitable and constantly in demand business. For successful activity in the field of repair and facing of apartments, it is necessary to follow a clear schedule of a business plan thought out to the smallest detail.
