Rough work what. Understanding the difference between rough and fine finishes. Who is better to entrust the repair
Thinking about buying a home in the primary market, you come across the fact that they are selling apartments with repairs of varying degrees of readiness. The most common is the rough finish of the apartment. What is it, what kind of work does this concept include and what will you get as a result - read in the article.
Different types of apartment renovation
- Under finishing or without repair.
- Under clean finish.
- With prefinishing white finish.
- Fully finished by the builder.
It is these definitions that are in ads offering living space in new buildings or in construction contracts. At the same time, the price per square meter differs significantly depending on the level of finish. To understand the difference, let's understand what is the difference different types repair from the builder.
For finishing
This is an option without finishing works. You only receive a box. The walls themselves are external and those that limit your apartment stand and nothing more. There may also be piers that enclose the bathroom and kitchen. The rest of the space without partitions. If the walls are cast concrete, there is bare concrete. Bare floor slabs overhead, uneven concrete slab underfoot. Here is what you will get. The only thing is that windows can be installed, and even then not always. Depends on the project, so this point should be clarified with the developer.
There is also no communication. There are connection points to them: sewerage outlet, water supply, electrical input to the apartment, and most often without a shield. Just start the phase on the machine. There is no plumbing/sewerage in the apartment. You must do all this yourself. The exception is the heating system. In many new buildings, the builder does the wiring, although there may be exceptions. That is, the apartment without finishing - without any repair.
For finishing
They differ from the previous version in that there are usually already some partitions (a typical layout or the position of the partitions was agreed with you at the stage of signing the contract), the walls and ceiling are plastered, and a screed is poured on the floor. Electricity can be divorced (specify), but others engineering systems still only indicated by entry points.
It is not worth hoping that the plastered surfaces will be even. The quality of work is usually below average. You will also need a ceiling. You just need (possibly) a smaller layer of material. And so, you will find a complete list of works, which includes the rough finish of the apartment, and then the finishing.
With pre-finishing
This is an apartment that is ready for finishing work. The electrics are divorced, the walls are leveled, an even screed is poured on the floor, the ceiling is plastered. You just have to lay the finishing materials and the substrate under them (where necessary). Without finishing there is a bathroom, bathroom, toilet. In these rooms, the repair will still be yours.
It should be understood that "aligned walls" must comply with SNiP ( building codes and rules), and it allows deviations of the following order:
- on walls up to 15 mm per square meter,
- up to 10 mm on the floor and ceiling.
So, even if the builders have met the standards (it happens far from always), not all finishing materials can be laid on such “smooth” surfaces. In favor of this type of repair of a new building, one thing can be said: the house will actively sit down for another 3-5 years, so the appearance of cracks is a completely natural decision. For this reason, it is not worth using expensive finishing materials right away, and relatively flat surfaces will go under the temporary option.
Fully refurbished by builder
A full range of works was carried out, up to installation finishing materials, interior and entrance doors, plumbing installations. All you need is to furnish the apartment with furniture and you can live.
This option seems tempting - no need to suffer in search of builders-finishers. And it is. But the quality of repairs from the developer rarely satisfies anyone. Often the entire finish is removed and redone. Moreover, it is often necessary to putty the walls (100% for painting), pour a leveling screed.
What does the rough finish of the apartment include
What exactly is included in the concept of "rough repair" each firm and team determines for itself. Of the options listed above, two stages fit this concept: under finishing and with pre-finishing. As you can see, the degree of readiness of the premises is completely different. And how to figure it out? Request a list of works to be carried out.
Draft repairs in a new building - there is no exact definition of the list of works
Some exhibit a list of possible works with a price per square meter. In this case, everything is simple: you yourself determine what work and to what extent they will do it for you - this is the most best option. If there is no list of works, ask him to voice it or ask for a list of works that are planned to be done.
Civilized repair implies the mandatory conclusion of a contract for repair and finishing works. This will minimize your risks in case of dishonest actions of the contractor.
Please note: when signing the contract, all work must be specified. And the more precise the definition (with tolerances), the less problems you will have during acceptance.
Main types of work
As already mentioned, the rough finish of an apartment is understood by each construction company in its own way, but usually they offer the following list of works:
This list of works on the rough finishing of an apartment is the basic one for most organizations that offer repairs without finishing.
Comments on electrical
A few notes about electrical wiring. Before performing work, a plan must be drawn up, which indicates the number of sockets and connection points lighting fixtures in each room, the cross-section of wires, the ratings of the machines, the RCD () for each of the branches are calculated. You need to clarify who will do this work.
Electricity is the most important part
If the contractor will develop the wiring diagram, you should first familiarize yourself with the project. Moreover, it would be useful to show a specialist or try to delve into all the subtleties yourself. If everything is fine with the project, you will have to control everything up to the cable brand and its specific parameters. Namely, it will be necessary to compare it with the design. Often there are large discrepancies (jambs of manufacturers, but you need to track them). It is difficult to redo the electrician, because the wires are hidden under the plaster and it is very problematic to change them even if they are laid in corrugated pipes. That is why it is one of the most milestones, which provides for the rough finish of the apartment and it must be controlled very responsibly.
About wall plastering and floor leveling
Before drawing up a contract for a rough finish of an apartment, check how smooth the walls and floor will be. It is desirable to achieve specific figures that should be fixed in the contract. Of course, no one will make you “under the egg”, but to ensure that the drops are no more than 5 mm per square meter really.
What exactly and to what extent you will be plastered - that's what you need to find out
Also check whether the processing of slopes is included in the wall plastering. Often this part of the work is put on the list of additional works, so you will have to pay extra for it.
Additional work
In most cases, if you see fit, the following types of work can be added to the main list of works:
You may be offered other types of work. It all depends on the specific company. Maybe they have special specialists who will offer their types of work.
Who is better to entrust the repair
If the rough finish of the apartment will not be done by you personally, you have to choose from two options:
- pay for an apartment without repair, and hire a team or a repair office for a rough repair;
- order an apartment immediately with a rough finish.
By all accounts, the first option is preferable. Finding an office that does good repairs in new buildings is not easy, but possible. A customer who rents apartments with a satisfactory rough renovation is almost a fairy tale. Everything is explainable.
Repair offices recruit specific specialists for certain types of work. They are engaged only in this, this is their bread, their reputation, therefore, self-respecting organizations monitor the quality of work. For the developer, the main thing is the construction process itself and the emphasis is on the construction of the box and not on finishing. Finishing work is a side income, far from being so attractive (in money equivalent) and few people are seriously concerned about their quality. In any case, this is the situation in our country.
Perhaps somewhere there are developers who keep highly qualified finishers. But for this, they must constantly have new facilities in operation, so that these specialists are constantly busy, otherwise it is unprofitable. If you were lucky enough to find such a customer, you saw (not only in the photo) and felt a couple finished apartments, the rough finish of the apartment can be entrusted to them without question. Otherwise, look for a company that deals with decoration.
What to look for when accepting work
Rough finish apartment in a new building is over, you need to accept the work. But you need to know what to look for, how and what to check. To help you, the contract that you signed with the developer or repair company. There should be a list of work to be done. You will need to check:
If there are comments, you need to make a list of them, get it signed by a representative of the company. In theory, your comments should be eliminated.
The concept of "rough finish" has firmly entered our lives in the last twenty years. In Soviet times, housing was rented on a turnkey basis.
What quality was the decoration of the apartments - this is the second question. Most often, housewarming had to start with repairs.
But then they got apartments for free, but now we pay our hard-earned money. Moreover, each person wants the interior of the apartment to match his own ideas.
So what's the point of paying more for finishing, if you still do repairs. That is why new buildings with a rough finish are increasingly appearing - the price of an apartment in such a house is much lower.
So, let's figure out what is included in the rough finish. It is clear that in a ready-to-live-in apartment, all surfaces load-bearing structures and partitions should be cosmetically decorated.
But in order to produce this very decoration, the surfaces must be well prepared. The concept of “rough finish” does not carry any legal justification, but only reflects generally accepted conventions.
So:
- The main goal of such a finish is to eliminate the shortcomings and irregularities of the supporting structures, so the walls and ceilings must be plastered.
- The characteristics of the rough finish of the walls are rather vague, most often we are talking about the starting layer of plaster. That is, if you then paint the wall or glue the wallpaper, you will have to prime and putty it, bringing it to perfect smoothness.
- Only the walls in the bathrooms can remain without plaster. This is due to their specificity. The decoration of these rooms is often done by frame sheathing when it is not necessary to level the surfaces.
- On the walls of the toilet or bathroom, cement-bonded particle boards are often mounted for rough finishing. They are an excellent base for any kind of decorative coating: ceramic tiles and mosaics, painting and self-adhesive films.
- A floor screed must be made, and if provided by the project, underfloor heating must be arranged under the screed. Well, laying linoleum, laying tiles on the floor or making parquet - you will have to decide and do it yourself.
- Concerning engineering communications: heating, sewerage and water supply systems must be installed in in full. Only sanitary ware and faucets will be missing.
- The same is true with power wiring: only leads for chandeliers, sockets and switches will be visible from the walls. You will buy and install all this at your own expense.
Telephone and television cables must also be connected to the apartment. Radio in our time is no longer of interest to anyone. - No one is building houses like "Khrushchev" houses now. The improved layout of the apartments provides for spacious studio rooms.
If you need to zone such a room, or make two small ones out of one large room, you can make partitions at your discretion.
- Installation of entrance doors and windows with double-glazed windows is mandatory - interior doors are not included here. Glazing of a loggia or balcony can also be attributed to a rough finish, but the developer, in this case, does not perform these works.
This means that you will need to start finishing the apartment with this.
Rough finish production
To the question: “What is a draft finish?” We have answered in as much detail as possible. Now it is the turn to consider how and in what sequence it is performed.
It is not at all necessary that you bought an apartment in a new building. Maybe you are building a house with your own hands or decided to make overhaul in old apartment- then our guide will help you.
Preparatory work
In the case of repairs, it will be possible to start plastering the walls only after the preparatory work:
- This includes the dismantling of electrical and gas equipment(lamps, switches, stoves, water heater).
- This also applies to cleaning work. brick walls from old plaster. That is, the most time-consuming and dirty work is performed first.
When the stripping is done, it is the turn of electrical work. - To do this, you must clearly understand: what kind of ceiling design will be performed; how many and which fixtures should be installed; where and what household appliances will be located. It is clear that this is necessary in order to correctly make the wiring for sockets and outputs for lamps.
- If necessary, hidden wiring devices are made on the surfaces of the supporting structures. This work is quite dusty, which is why it is done before starting the finishing work.
It is worth saying that if you are not familiar with electricity, you need to entrust the electrical part of the repair to a specialist. After all, there are also a lot of nuances here - from the correct selection of the wire cross-section to their high-quality connection.
Proper wiring will protect you from possible short circuits or fires.
Windows and doors
If it is necessary to replace window blocks, they are dismantled and new ones are immediately installed. This can be done both before the start of the preparatory work, and after their completion.
So:
- There is practically no risk of staining the window sills or spoiling the plastic during wall finishing - there is a protective film on the plastic elements of the windows that can be removed after the repair is completed. And the glass will still have to be washed.
- FROM wooden windows a little more difficult, but there is masking tape to protect them - they are glued wooden surface ram.
- It's the same with doors. Rather, you first need to install only door frames and cover them with masking tape.
The adhesive tape will protect their surface from getting polyurethane foam, as well as from gypsum plaster mortar, which will be used to close up the slopes. And the panels are hung after finishing.
In repair, everything must be done logically. If, for example, you want to demolish an unnecessary partition, then this must be done before installing new ones. interior doors.
Answers to the questions: “How to properly install doors, what are slopes and how to get a perfectly even angle?” - can be obtained by reading the necessary literature and watching the video. It is possible that you yourself will not do this.
alignment
After completing the preparatory work, you can begin to level the surfaces. The sequence of actions will depend on how you plan to decorate the ceiling.
If it will be painted or wallpapered, leveling must begin with it. In the case of a suspended ceiling, its surface does not need a rough finish - it can be taken as walls.
slopes
The implementation of the rough finish of the walls begins with the door and window slopes. FROM window slopes easier, recently they are made of plastic sandwich panels.
This is much faster than removing corners with gypsum mortar.
So:
- Plastic does not need to be painted, it does not fade in the sun and is easy to clean. That is why most people prefer this option.
decorative corner, covering the joint between the wall and the panel, can be glued last when the fine finish is completed. - For decoration door slopes plastic can only be used if the walls are completely finished with it. In other cases, the slopes must be made of gypsum mortar.
To do this, you need a template that allows you to make an even angle.
Walls
The method of leveling the walls will depend on which room is being finished and what wall decor material you plan to use.
If the hallway or kitchen is planned to be sheathed with plastic, or a lining board, then there is no need to level the walls. In living rooms, it is not customary to finish the walls in this way.
- There are two acceptable ways to make walls even and smooth. First and most cheap way- it's plastering. Modern plaster solutions are sold dry, in 25kg bags.
- They contain everything necessary components, you just have to dilute it with water in the right ratio. These mixtures may have a gypsum or cement binder base.
- Cement-based mortars are used in rooms with high humidity and for outdoor work. The internal surfaces of walls and ceilings are mainly plastered with gypsum compounds.
Especially if painting will be done, because the gypsum is white. - Rough wall finishing can also be done by sheathing them with sheets of drywall. They are attached to metal carcass, the joints of the sheets are sealed with putty, polished, primed - and only then are they subject to further finishing.
- This finishing option is good for private houses, cottages, corner apartments of multi-storey buildings, the walls of which often freeze through. In the inner cavity of the frame, you can put a heater, as in the photo.
- When the walls are ready, consider that the dirtiest work is finished. Now you can do the ceiling.
And now it can not only be mounted, but also finished clean. - The floor screed is done last. For this, there are also dry mixes, which, like plaster solutions, are simply diluted with water. They are also called "self-levelling".
Only after the full strength of the screed begins further decoration of the room. The more carefully and without haste the above work was performed, the better the result will be.
If you understand that you can’t do it on your own, contact the specialists, and just control the process yourself.
In modern construction, most apartments in new buildings involve rough finishing and rough repairs. Of course, we are talking not only about purchased apartments in new buildings, but also about the secondary housing.

- Evaluation of the decency and level of professionalism of the rough finish contractor, in order to continue subsequent cooperation in the form of a fine repair.
The main types of work during rough finishing in a new building:
- Dismantling, demolition and construction of partitions;
- Insulation, soundproofing of the ceiling, walls, floor (if necessary);
- Wall plaster, primer;
- Plastering slopes (window and door);
- Wiring of sewerage and water supply by points;
- Installation of sanitary ducts;
- Works on electrical installation (chasing and laying of low-current and power cables);
- Installation of an electrical panel with the connection of RCDs, automatic electricians;
- Waterproofing of wet areas. Floor screed installation;
- Lifting and loading and unloading works;
- Garbage removal.
By choosing a responsible company, you can turn a noisy, dirty and dusty black repair in a new building into a worthy option for further fine finishing.
So, how much does the rough finish of an apartment in a new building cost?
It should be said right away that the prices for this type of repair start at 2500 rubles per m 2 on the floor. Here are some illustrative examples:
- One-room apartment of 44 m 2 - from 95 thousand rubles.
- Two-room apartment 62 m 2 - from 150 thousand rubles.
- Three-room apartment 85 m 2 - from 190 thousand rubles.
- Studio apartment 32 m 2 - from 72 thousand rubles.
Turnkey rough finishing terms directly depend on the list of types of work and the area of the room. Standard one-room apartment 44 m 2 can be finished in one or one and a half months.
You can get more detailed information about the price of a rough finish from us by writing through a special form on the Remontik website.Features of rough repairs in a new building:
- It is worth saying that the rough finish of the apartment for subsequent fine finishing differs in some features, and in order for the work to be completed quickly, efficiently and accurately, the customer needs to know what will be in the apartment and how it will be located.
- If the apartment is supposed to be redevelopment, it is necessary to have a schematic design project or plan of the future apartment.
- It is important to know exactly where the partitions will be located: which and where are erected, which are removed, which remain in their original places.
- this is the best option in terms of cost, making it possible to create an environment that meets all the parameters of the buyer in terms of interior design and design. Such objects are offered in two versions: rough and fine finishes.
Each type includes a set of works, which is determined by the developer. In this case, the final housing option may be different. To avoid disappointment, the buyer needs to clarify: fine, rough finish, which includes, in what form the object will be handed over.

Types and description
Rough finish may imply different types repair work held in a new building.
Her mandatory elements are:
- : they are made on the same level around the entire perimeter of the apartment, based on cement with the addition of sand;
- , windows made of wood, plastic, entrance doors may be metallic;
- ceiling processing: covering the ceiling joints, plastering. Usually has significant deviations in horizontal and evenness of the surface;
- : Leveling a vertical surface with limestone or cement mortar. Finishing required.
The rough finish of the apartment from the developer includes all the necessary communications: electricity, water supply, heating, gas.
Batteries and other heating devices are installed. Telephone and television cables are being brought in, which need additional wiring around the entire perimeter of the apartment.
This type of finishing may include other additional activities. It is important to clarify this issue, discuss it with the developer, and when concluding a purchase agreement, carefully study the characteristics included in this concept.
Advice! When receiving and transferring an object, the necessary work must be completed in full.
Fine finishing in a new building implies carrying out the work necessary for the processing of all surfaces, including their decoration. This applies to walls, ceilings, floors in rooms, kitchens, bathrooms. The installation of a stove, intercom, counters is being done. As a rule, this is an economy option, since inexpensive and not always used for the arrangement quality materials. This housing can be immediately used for living without additional repairs.

This is one of the apartment design options that is most popular among buyers. All dirty, labor-intensive work related to the alignment of walls, ceiling, and floor is preliminarily carried out. They are brought to perfection.
Everything in the premises is prepared for the application of a branch, decorative coating. Improved rough finish implies the presence of meters, sockets, switches.
Conducted through the rooms, pipes - to bathrooms and kitchens, installed batteries. The main thing is that in this option, the buyer has freedom of choice. He independently determines which materials will be used for decorative design interior.
Process description
Rough finish, which includes.
In this embodiment, the apartment, namely the floor, walls and ceiling, looks something like this:
- The ceiling may have irregularities, external defects, dents. For leveling, achieving an ideal state, it needs a starting, finishing putty, after which it can be applied decorative coating.
- Walls, interior partitions do not have a perfectly flat surface, at best they are plastered, so they need to be covered with a starting and then finishing putty.
- The floor as a whole, the screed is fairly even, so it will be up to the owner to decide whether it needs to be leveled for a decorative coating. It all depends on his personal preferences and financial capabilities.
Important! Rough finishing of walls, partitions, floors, ceilings, aimed at preparing them for the final coating.
Visible, large defects are eliminated, no attention is paid to trifles and minor errors.
What materials are used
Before renting the apartment to the owner, a list of the main types of work included in the documentation is carried out.
The following apply:
- drywall or plaster.
- concrete, dry screed or logs.
- wet mixtures or sheet materials.
Drywall or plaster is used to cover the walls. Drywall is mounted on guide profiles or special glue. Work with it does not require preliminary dilution of any solution, while the degree of evenness of the walls does not matter, so it takes less time to install it. Plaster is made from limestone, gypsum or cement-sand mixture. It is more durable, stronger, cheaper. The main thing is that in the end, the rough finish of the walls should provide the most even surface vertically and horizontally, which will affect the durability of the finish coating.
Concrete screed strong, durable, most often used in an apartment. It consists of waterproofing, expanded clay, concrete, self-leveling mixture. Dry screed includes waterproofing, dry backfill made of expanded clay or quartz sand, plywood sheets, gypsum fiber.
The lags are wooden blocks the same size, made from different types of wood. For coating, waterproofing, beacons and sand for leveling, logs, plywood are used.
Wet mixes, sheet materials are used to level the ceiling.
What materials will be used, you need to check with the developer. it important point, as it renders impact on the quality of purchased housing, the number of subsequent costs for cleaning work.

Stages of work
Where to start doing work.
Finishing in a new building always begins with dirty work:
- installation of interior partitions;
- plumbing, electricity, sewerage, heating communications;
- installation of windows, doors.
Then the work is carried out in sequence from top to bottom: they start from the ceilings, then move on to the walls, at the final stage they proceed to the floor.
The ceiling and walls, first of all, need to be leveled. They do it in two ways: wet or dry. For wet process plaster is used, and for dry - sheet materials, for example, drywall.
The floors are put in order last with screed or plywood. All these surfaces are not brought to an ideal state, therefore need top coat from special materials.

Finishing
What does it mean to clean an apartment? It includes doing the dirty, rough work listed above. Additionally, installation can be carried out, dismantling is not bearing walls, partitions, that is, redevelopment of the premises is being done, installation of doors, windows, alignment of all surfaces and their decoration.
After that, the cleaning work begins:
- laminate, linoleum is laid on the floor;
- walls are covered with wallpaper, paint or tiles;
- sockets, switches are installed;
- gas or electric stove is connected;
- doors, windows are painted or installed from materials that do not need additional processing. for example, plastic;
- all plumbing is included.
This design makes the housing habitable for the owner immediately after purchase and move.
Attention! When finishing, the developer uses standard materials not of high quality.
materials
For cleaning housing many different decorative materials are used, each of which has its own purpose, advantages, characteristics. They may differ from each other in composition and method of application.
Ceiling and walls
After leveling the starting, finishing putty, the ceiling is primed, and then covered with water-based paint, wallpaper. For these purposes, they can use polystyrene boards, stretch, false ceilings.
As a decorative treatment of walls, wallpaper of different compositions is used, water-based paint, decorative putty, ceramic tiles, plastic or wooden panels. This takes into account the purpose of the room.
For example, in the kitchen and bathroom, the walls are covered with materials that are resistant to high humidity, chemicals and temperature fluctuations.

Floor
The floor in new buildings is covered with laminate, carpet, linoleum, parquet. They are also used in guest rooms, nurseries, bedrooms. In the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the hallways, the floor is covered ceramic tiles. At the final stage, plastic skirting boards are mounted.
To get a good result, you need carry out work in a certain order, subject to a simple rule: from top to bottom. As a result, the apartment looks neat and can be used for furnishing and living.

Whatever type of finish is used to decorate apartments in a new building, the main thing is that the result suits the buyer. For services of this kind, it is necessary to turn to trusted companies that hire qualified specialists, use high-quality materials, and have a good reputation.
When buying an apartment, many are faced with the concept of "an apartment with a rough finish", but not everyone clearly understands what is meant by this. However, not only the owners of new apartments are faced with this concept. When performing repairs in residential apartments, in the estimate you can find the so-called rough work and materials. How it looks and what the rough finish of the premises includes, we will look at examples.
The walls in such apartments are already plastered, but still far from ideal, so small irregularities will have to be repaired with plaster and finally leveled with putty. With ceilings, the situation is usually worse, the differences can exceed 5 cm.
Wiring in apartments with a rough finish is usually already done and wires have been brought out at the installation sites of electrical outlets. Separately, it is worth talking about the floor in the new building. First, it contains a huge amount of dust. Secondly, in most cases it requires additional alignment. Radiators in apartments with a rough finish are cheap, most likely you will want to replace them with more modern ones. This is how, in most cases, an apartment in a new building with rough work done looks like. The builders of the developer are not very interested in the quality of the work, therefore it is avoided.
Rough finishing of residential apartments
Draft work in residential apartments is carried out in order to eliminate the unevenness of the walls, ceiling and floor. Thus, the basis for finishing the apartment is prepared: painting the walls and ceiling, wallpapering, etc.
What works include rough finishing of the room:
- wall and ceiling plastering;
- floor screed;
- laying underfloor heating;
- installation of a heating system;
- installation of water supply and sewerage systems;
- electric installation work;
- window installation.
Draft work begins immediately after the dismantling of all structures and old coatings.
What you need to know before finishing:
- Where will the furniture be placed?
- Locations of electrical appliances (sockets, switches, lamps, etc.);
- Type of plumbing equipment and the place of its installation;
- Ceiling finishing option;
- Wall decoration option;
- Type of floor covering;
As you can see, the rough finish of the apartment depends on the finishing materials used.
wall decoration
In most cases, the walls are plastered. The highest quality results are obtained when plastering walls on lighthouses. Then all the smallest irregularities are eliminated with putty. In some types of premises, plasterboard sheets are installed on the walls instead of plaster - this process is faster, but reduces the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe room.
Ceiling finish
In most cases, the ceiling is plastered, followed by puttying the surface. However, you can get a smooth surface faster with the help of plasterboard suspended ceilings. But if you are planning to install stretch ceiling, then you can completely leave the surface in its original form.
Floor finish
With large differences in the floor covering, a floor screed is made. The screed is carried out using dry building mixtures. If the unevenness of the floor is small, then an even coating can be obtained using self-leveling compounds. When forming the floor surface, it is important to monitor the level. If in one room there will be tiles, and in another parquet board, it is obvious that the level of the screed in these rooms should be different (due to the different thickness of the floor covering). The floor screed gains strength within a month and in no case should this process be accelerated.
Electrical and plumbing work should be made using modern materials: wires - copper, and pipes - plastic.
The main thing to remember is that the rough finishing of apartments is not in a hurry. The more thoroughly the rough work is done, the better the final finish will be.
