If you are planning to render your home in Melbourne, one of the first questions you will have is: how much does it cost? The answer depends on several factors including the type of render, the size of your home, the condition of the existing surfaces, and the complexity of the job.
On average, acrylic rendering in Melbourne costs between $30 and $60 per square metre for a standard residential home. This includes surface preparation, primer, base coat, and finish coat. For a typical 3-bedroom home with approximately 200 square metres of external wall area, you can expect to pay between $6,000 and $12,000 for a complete external render.
Stucco rendering is generally slightly cheaper, ranging from $25 to $50 per square metre, while premium finishes like Venetian plaster can cost $80 to $150 per square metre due to the labour-intensive application process.
Several factors can increase the cost of rendering. These include: the height of the building (scaffolding may be required), the condition of existing surfaces (extensive repairs add cost), the complexity of the design (multiple colours, decorative features), and access difficulties.
To get the best value, we recommend getting at least three quotes from licensed renderers, checking their insurance and warranty terms, and asking to see examples of their previous work. At Probuild Rendering, we provide free, no-obligation quotes within 24 hours and back all our work with a comprehensive 5-year warranty.
Remember — the cheapest quote is not always the best value. Quality rendering that lasts 20+ years is a far better investment than a budget job that cracks and peels within a few years.
