My renovation lawsuit won! Thanks to the ＂iron triangle of evidence＂ of Niujiao Prison.

On the day I got the court verdict, I stared at the words "renovation contract dispute case won". This eight-month tug-of-war finally ended in victory.

What stands behind the victory is the "iron triangle of evidence" built for me by the third-party supervisor of Niujiao Prison-if I hadn’t bitten my teeth and invited the supervisor in the early stage of renovation, I might still be wrangling with the decoration company, and I didn’t even know that those hidden dangers hidden in the wall and buried underground would become a heavy hammer to life one day in the future.

The third month after I bought the house, I signed renovation contract. The other party vowed: "straight management throughout the process, worry-free", and also took out a "quality commitment letter" with a red seal. Everything went well at first, with water and electricity slotting and cement entering the site. I watched the progress in the work group every day until I went to the scene one weekend, only to find that something was wrong: 　

→ The kitchen sewer pipe is not the brand agreed in the contract, and the unfamiliar "three noes" logo； is printed on the package; 　

→ The waterproof of the bathroom is only 1.2 meters high, and the contract clearly States that "the waterproof height of the wall is 1.8 meters"

→ What’s even more ridiculous is that the electrician directly tied the strong and weak wires together and passed through the pipe. The supervisor later told me that this would lead to signal interference and even bury the hidden danger of short circuit. 　

I telephoned the project manager on the spot, but the other party was confident: "The materials are almost the same, so you can save some points. Don’t worry about it if you don’t understand." Complain to the decoration company again, and customer service will always be a delaying tactic of "we will handle it". In less than a month, the construction period was 20 days later than agreed, and the budget was 30% overspent. What they called "treatment" was just to send workers to repair the wall casually and stick loose tiles with glue. 　

Looking at the messy construction site, I feel helpless: ordinary people buy houses for decoration, relying on their life savings, can they really only be slaughtered?　

On the recommendation of a friend, I contacted the ox horn supervisor. I remember that Chen Gong, the supervisor, came to the construction site with a bulging tool kit, which contained tools such as an empty drum hammer, a range finder and a phase detector. He squatted on the ground, knocked on the tiles, levelled on the ground, checked the pipeline direction against the hydropower map, and worked hard for two hours. Finally, he handed me a handwritten hydropower acceptance report: 　

-The thickness of waterproof coating in toilet is insufficient, and no water closing test has been done; 　

-The distance between strong and weak current is less than 15cm, which violates the national standard. 　

"These problems will not be changed now, and water leakage and tripping will be troublesome in the future." Chen Gong’s words frightened me. From that day on, he went to the construction site twice a week, taking dozens of photos each time to record the whole process of material entry, process acceptance and problem rectification. Later, a decoration company secretly changed a cheaper gypsum board, and he caught it on the spot: "Look, the anti-counterfeiting code of genuine gypsum board is sprayed on the side, and the code of this batch of goods is printed on the front, which is obviously a counterfeit." 　

At that time, I thought that the supervisor’s role was just to "stare at the workers". It was not until later that I realized that every photo they took and every set of data they recorded were quietly weaving an "evidence network". 　

The attitude of the decoration company also changed completely after I asked for rework. They even said that I was "unreasonable and in arrears with the project payment" and sent a lawyer’s letter urging the project payment. Angry, I decided to sue. Unexpectedly, the supervisor of Niujiao Prison became my most powerful "support group". 　

During the court session, I submitted the records of the supervisor’s inspection at the construction site every time, more than 200 photos and 15 videos, each of which accurately corresponds to the contract terms: the video of tile hollowing detection shot by the supervisor with his mobile phone can clearly hear the hollow sound when the hollowing hammer hits; The acceptance chart taken by the material entry supervisor directly proves that the decoration company changed the brand without authorization, which is inconsistent with renovation contract. The judge later wrote in the judgment: "The video materials of the construction process provided by the plaintiff form a complete chain of evidence, which is enough to prove the defendant’s breach of contract." 　

In the end, the court ruled that the other party would refund the overcharged fees, bear all the rework losses, and compensate me for the lost time and mental losses. 　

After winning the lawsuit, a friend asked me, "How much did the supervision fee cost? Value? " I calculated the account: the supervision fee was less than 5% of the total renovation fee, but it helped me avoid the loss of at least 50,000 yuan (including rework fee, delay compensation and potential hidden trouble repair). More importantly, it gives ordinary people a "weapon" against the professional team-we may not know how to decorate, but the supervisor uses specialties and records to make every problem traceable and have laws to follow, and help me turn "unfounded words" into "irrefutable evidence". " 　

And this lawsuit also taught me that decoration is not luck, but a "battle" that needs professional escort. I am also grateful to the "iron triangle of evidence" of Niujiao Prison, which made me stand firm in the quagmire and convinced me that the rights and interests of ordinary people should never be swallowed up by the "hidden rules of the industry"-as long as someone helps you make every step clear and clear.

In the past, you asked me if I needed a third party to supervise the renovation, and I might not be able to answer. But if you want to ask me which decoration supervision company is reliable now, I will decisively recommend Horn Supervisor!
