When we are filled with the vision of an ideal home or planning a more convenient living environment for our relatives who have difficulty moving around at home, the idea of "DIY by ourselves" might come to mind. However, whether it is the construction of a brand-new residence or the renovation of a barrier-free home, choosing professional construction services is far more reliable and cost-effective than DIY.
From the perspective of construction safety, professional construction teams have been refined through systematic training and long-term practice. In the construction of new residences, they are well aware of the significance of geological exploration and foundation treatment, and are capable of formulating scientific construction plans based on different soil conditions and climatic environments. For instance, in areas prone to earthquakes, professional teams will strictly follow seismic design standards, adopt appropriate building materials and construction techniques, and ensure that buildings remain stable in the event of natural disasters. In contrast, with DIY, it is difficult for individuals to possess such comprehensive safety knowledge. When conducting operations such as foundation excavation and wall construction, it is very easy to cause safety accidents such as collapses due to improper operation. When it comes to barrier-free home renovations, professionals will precisely grasp the installation standards of barrier-free facilities, such as the height, Angle, and load-bearing capacity of handrails, to ensure that every renovation can provide safety guarantees for users. When making self-modifications, if these details are not handled properly, not only will the purpose of assisting actions not be achieved, but they may also become new safety hazards.
In terms of quality control of engineering projects, the advantages of professional construction teams are equally significant. They master the cutting-edge technologies and processes in the industry. During the construction of new residences, from the pre-burial of water and electricity lines, the treatment of waterproofing works, to the decoration of walls and floors, every link has strict operation norms and quality acceptance standards. Take waterproofing projects as an example. Professionals will adopt multi-layer waterproofing treatment and combine it with professional water-tightness tests to minimize the risk of leakage to the greatest extent. However, due to a lack of experience and professional equipment, individual DIY projects can only carry out simple surface treatments. Once leakage occurs after moving in, the difficulty and cost of repair will increase exponentially. For barrier-free home renovations, professional designers and construction workers will integrate knowledge from multiple aspects such as ergonomics and spatial aesthetics to carry out meticulous renovations of areas like bathrooms and kitchens, making the home environment both practical and aesthetically pleasing. For instance, when replacing a traditional toilet with an accessible one, a professional team will adjust the height of the toilet reasonably based on the user's physical condition and install facilities such as handrails and anti-slip floor tiles. DIY, on the other hand, may only focus on replacing the toilet, neglecting the overall coordination and functionality, which greatly reduces the renovation effect.
In addition, professional construction services can also provide comprehensive after-sales guarantees. After the new residence is delivered, if any quality problems occur, the professional team will respond promptly and provide maintenance services. After the barrier-free home renovation is completed, regular follow-up visits will also be conducted, and necessary adjustments and maintenance will be made based on user feedback. However, once problems arise in DIY, one often has to figure them out on their own. This not only wastes time and energy but also may make it impossible to completely fix them due to the lack of professional tools and skills.
On the path of new residential construction and barrier-free home renovation, professional construction services, with their professional techniques, strict quality control, efficient cost management and comprehensive after-sales support, have become a solid backing for creating ideal homes. Rather than taking risks in the arduous exploration of DIY, it's better to leave professional matters to professionals, so that our living dreams and barrier-free living needs can be perfectly realized.
