Price render by wall area, book the scratch and finish coats as separate blocks on the one house, and invoice while the scaffold is still standing.
Online booking
The page asks for the address before the time, then the wall area and the finish. What lands can be priced, not a text asking what a dormer costs.

Render is a sequence with drying, and a wet fortnight rearranges it whether you agree or not. Book each coat as a block and move the run in one go.
Learn moreThree answers on one estimate: patch and paint where it is sound, a scratch coat and silicone finish, and external insulation with a render finish.
Put the wall area in and the base figure follows it. Nothing gets worked out on the back of a docket at the end of a wet day.
Three lines on the one page and the middle one usually wins. There is nothing left to ring around about, so the customer stops.
Staging, painting, making good the piers. A line saying what is out settles it before anyone is standing in the drive arguing.
Pro adds option groups to those lines, so the finish, the colour and an extra scaffold lift each carry their own difference against the square metre rate, and the total keeps up while the customer decides.
A plasterer here fills the year on word of mouth, and word of mouth stops dead the moment a caller decides you have packed it in.
The page offers the first week you could have staging up, so the caller comes away with a date rather than deciding nobody answers.
Address, wall area and finish come into the inbox with nothing open, and that list is what you work through when a job falls in.
Jobs move a fortnight all the time. Everyone who rang while you were full is sitting in the one thread, in the order they asked.
New extension in Drumcondra — rear elevation and both side walls. Any chance of a texture finish before the end of the year?
A render job is not an appointment, it is a scaffold week. Each coat is its own block on the same address, so nobody turns up to float a wall that is still green.
System, wall area, finish and the coats already on, held against the address rather than in a text thread from March.
Built for your trade
Scratch coat and nap finish, priced by wall area with the gables and the chimney costed as their own lines rather than assumed in.
Base coat, mesh and a through-coloured top coat. Books as a scaffold week with the colour as an option that moves the total.
Boards, base coat, mesh and finish. Priced on area with the board thickness as an option, and grant paperwork kept on the job record.
Patching a dashed gable so the repair does not stand out. Priced by the hour, because matching the stone is most of the work.
Two coats and a float finish. Small enough to book straight from the page instead of costing an evening drive to measure.
Breathable coats on solid walls, booked with the long gaps the material wants rather than squeezed to suit the diary.
The parts that leak first. Booked with the access they need, so it does not turn into a second visit and a second hire charge.
Reveals and sills reinstated once the joinery crew have gone. Slots in as a short block on the same house record as the main job.
Entrance piers, capping and a boundary wall. Quick money that books itself online rather than costing you a site visit to price.
Skim work on the same house you rendered outside, kept on one record so the customer gets a single estimate rather than two.
Dry at eight, misting by eleven, a nap finish that will not take. A plastering week here gets rebuilt around the sky more than once.
Move the finish coat to Thursday and the coats behind it come along. The customer is shown the change without a phone call.
Dragging work across the week sits on every plan. Charging for a wet Tuesday would be an odd thing to sell a plasterer.
Which coats are on stays on the record, so whoever opens the gate tomorrow is not reading the wall to work it out.
Render looks dear on the day it goes on and cheap a month later. Ask while the wall is new and the invoice reads as fair.
Mark it paid against the job and that is the end of it. Recording money by hand has never been a paid feature.
For the customer standing on the drive who would sooner tap a card than go inside and find their bank details.
A long run can be split into stages on Pro, taken as the coats go on rather than requested the moment it is booked.
An hour each way with a mixer on the back eats the day the work was meant to pay for. Set the ground once and stop deciding it call by call.
Choose the areas you plaster rather than a radius, which around here reaches across an estuary to get at nothing much.
Someone outside the ground hears it straight away, so nobody waits on a price you were never going to sit down and write.
One crew north of the town and one south, with areas that keep them apart instead of sending both up the same road at seven.
One asks about set-out, the other about the colour, and both land on the job rather than across two phones and a text thread.
When a hairline crack brings someone back, the system, the finish and what you charged are already on the address.
Yours is sitting beside two others on a builder's phone. See what has been opened and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.

One app for the whole job
For plain render, no. External insulation is different: NSAI Agrément runs a registered installer scheme for external insulation and ETICS, and SEAI registers contractors for its home energy grants. Ordinary sand and cement work needs neither. Bookables runs your diary and certifies nobody.
Yes. Price the service on wall area and set your rate against it. Option groups carry the finish, so a wet dash and a silicone thin coat each show their own difference against the base rate instead of being settled on site.
Drag the block to the next dry day and the rest of the run moves with it. The customer sees the new time without you ringing them. Rescheduling is on every plan, including the free one.
Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and cost nothing at all. Cards come with Pro. A long job can be split into stages on Pro, taken as the coats go on rather than asked for at the time of booking.
Draw the areas you take plastering work in and anything beyond the line is turned away before it reaches the diary. There is no charge for a longer drive, so a distant job is quoted the same way a local one is.
Tax is a switch per service, so VAT sits on the line rather than appearing at the bottom unannounced. Estimate and invoice numbers are set once, on purpose, and stay put after that.
