Wall area and building access
Quotations consider the measured wall area as well as scaffold requirements, height, restricted access and the time needed to protect windows, paving and nearby surfaces.
Substrate condition and preparation
Bare masonry, painted walls, cracks and previously failed coatings need different preparation. A cheaper quote that leaves out necessary repairs or reinforcement may not provide a durable result.
System and finish selection
Cement render, acrylic systems, texture coatings and decorative finishes use different materials and application processes. Colour, texture and architectural details also affect labour and material requirements.
What a clear quote should include
Look for a written scope covering preparation, beads, mesh where required, base coats, selected finish, protection, clean-up, exclusions and warranty terms. PROBUILD provides a detailed quote after reviewing the property.
This guide provides general information. The correct system and scope depend on the condition of the individual property.
