Rendering

Hi Stella

You are looking at prices from $25 to 30 a square metre plus gst for cement render plus painting costs afterwards.
If you have a flat surface you might consider an applied granular finish like dulux acratex which has the colour already in it and costs about the same. And yes, you will come out well ahead, if you get a good job done and select a popular colour.

Hi Stella,

Can you please reply to this forum if you find someone who can render.  We will be in same situation shortly.  Otherwise I may have to see about doing it myself.

Thanks
Jason

Hey Guys!
Just noticed your post and thought i'd tell you about a fantastic product i've recently used.
It's called santini and i bought it through boral. It comes pre-mixed in buckets to whatever color you want, (you can pick nearly any color from a dulux paint chart and they'll mix it up for you)
The full price to do an entire 22 square house was about $1800 compared to render which would have cost thousands.
We applied it ourselves with a broom and it looks fantastic, and so much cheaper!!
Thought it might suit your job, anyway, goodluck!

A word of warning about 'pre-mixed' colour… You run the risk of not having the entire surface exactly the same shade. This is because the colour is usually mixed and made up on the spot, and they can't make enough in one batch to cover the entire building. So each batch they make up may be ever so slightly different, ending up with you having to pay to get the building painted anyway.
