Client changes

Client changes

A client change allows the investor to enable the future owner of the property to customize the purchased apartment according to their preferences. The investor determines the scope of client changes and their organization. Generally, the client can propose minor changes, such as the placement of electrical outlets. However, it is impossible to interfere with the overall design of the house or apartment (moving load-bearing walls, increasing the built-up area, etc.). Approval or disapproval of client changes is entirely at the discretion of YIT or the general contractor.

PREPARATION FOR THE FIRST MEETING WITH THE CLIENT CHANGES MANAGER

Is the apartment purchase intended as an investment or as a home for your residence? If the apartment is intended as an investment, we recommend addressing client changes only in terms of specifying colors, materials, and standards. If the apartment is purchased not as an investment, we recommend getting inspired by suitable examples before the first meeting and forming an idea of the style, color scheme, and material solutions that suit you and appeal to you. Therefore, it is good to have a concrete idea of the interior design of the apartment and how it will be used, which can impact the placement of electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures, as well as minor layout adjustments.

TIMING AND PREPARATION OF CLIENT CHANGES CONSIDERING THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

Considering the construction progress, it is essential to realize that the sooner you start with client changes, the greater the chance we have to implement these changes. Each category of client changes has a certain time limit within which it can be realized and thus within which it can be submitted. It is also necessary to understand that in the case of a request for more complex client changes, it is necessary to simultaneously submit requirements that fall into the category of lower-level client changes, which are not as strictly time-limited. This is because client changes are addressed comprehensively and at once, so they cannot be divided into multiple stages.

MOST COMMON CLIENT CHANGES

  • Replacement of a bathtub with a shower
  • Moving a door 
  • Replacement of standard doors with sliding doors, either surface-mounted or recessed
  • Selection of high-end materials (tiles, flooring, door finishes)
  • Relocation of electrical and plumbing fixtures
  • Increasing the number of electrical and low-voltage outlets
