Repair or design project of the apartment always begins with the measurement of the room. With its help, you can calculate the volume of work and their cost. In the article, we consider how the measurement happens, what is measured and what.

When is the premises frozen?
The room is needed for any repair, regardless of its cost and finishing.

In some cases, the interior design project can be done without measuring the room. This happens when the customer needs to quickly make all the necessary drawings for repair, but there is no access to the object yet. For example, a new building has not yet been handed over. In this case, the designer focuses on the floor plan from the developer. Then, when access to the apartment appears, the measurement is still carried out to correct the drawings.
Who spends the measurement?
The designer was held by us. The specialist comes to the object for free and at a convenient time for you. If it is not possible to come to the object, you can transfer the keys to us, and the specialist will measure it yourself.
How does it take place?
Our specialist meets you in the apartment. The designer draws the plan by hand and marks all the data on it.

For work, use a laser range finder and a regular roulette. The corners are measured by the corner ruler. In addition to measurement, the designer takes a photo of key elements to focus on them when creating drawings.
1. Measure all walls
The most important thing for creating a design project is to measure the length and height of all walls. The measurement begins to make from the entrance to the apartment clockwise.
2. Care the wall parallel
The walls in new buildings are sometimes laid with irregularities, because of which they may not be parallel to each other. Such defects are better to fix at the stage of draft work, otherwise the geometry of the room will be broken, the cabinets will not be flush with the wall, and on the floor it will be difficult to smoothly lay parquet or tiles.

To do this, measure the length of the walls, as well as the diagonals from opposite corners in the room. If the diagonals are equal, then the walls are parallel.
3. Measure the corners
The corners are measured using a square. Their dimensions also note that in the future builders can adjust them to certain tasks.
4. Measure the doorways
At the doorways, check the height, width and depth. A canvas is also measured at the front door. This data will be needed if the door is poor from the developer and it will need to be replaced after the repair. Also note the depth of the platbands.

5. Measure the windows
At the windows, the width, the length and depth of the window opening, slopes and window sills are measured.

The designer also notes where the deaf are, and where the opening wings, as well as which way they open. This information is needed in order to know exactly where the furniture can be put at the planning stage so that it does not interfere with the opening of the window.
6. Measure monolithic areas
Columns, beams or monolithic walls can not be touched. Therefore, the designer measures their width and length so that builders can increase the desired layer of stucco for pipes or an electrician on them.
7. Put the material on the walls
If the apartment already has plaster, then the designer will marry what material it is from. This is necessary in order for the foreman to know what can be plastered or aligned with the walls if necessary.

8. Load the whereabouts of all devices
The plan indicates where the counters, electrical panels, sensors and other devices are standing.
9. Load and measure all pipes
The designer measures water, sewer and heating pipes. He notes how they go on the plan and in the photo.

10. Measured radiators
The radiators are measured the length and width, and the material from which they are made are noted. This information will come in handy if you need to replace the radiators.
After measuring, the designer tolerates all measurements and notes to the grade plan. On its basis, a plan for arranging furniture, an electrician, lighting, plumbing and floors are already making it. Our experts pay special attention to the measurement of space, because the quality of the repair depends on it.
