Plasterer Quoting Guide: How to Quote Plastering Jobs Fast

Plastering quotes are all about square metres and access.

Get these right, and your quotes will be accurate every time.

Where plastering quotes go wrong

• **Square metre calculations** — measuring errors add up fast
• **Cornice and finishing** — often forgotten or underpriced
• **Access and scaffolding** — high ceilings cost more
• **Repairs and patching** — time-consuming on renovations
• **Multiple trips** — not accounting for set and sand stages

How to quote plastering jobs accurately

1. Measure properly

• Wall area (height × perimeter)
• Ceiling area (length × width)
• Deduct openings over 2m²

2. Use per-square-metre rates

Build rates for:

• Standard walls: $X/m²
• Ceilings: $X/m²
• Cornice: $X/linear metre
• Repairs: hourly rate

3. Include all stages

• Hang and fix
• Set and sand
• Cornice installation
• Final inspection

4. Account for access

• Scaffolding for high work
• Difficult access premium
• Furniture moving time
