Online booking
The address arrives before the appointment does
Owners and main contractors give the street first, then the wall area and the system. What lands can be priced, not a text saying the plaster is munted.

Coats booked around a wet week, not through it
A plaster system is a sequence with drying between every step. Book the coats as blocks on one house, and the run slides when the southerly arrives.
Learn moreReplaster the house, three ways.
Three answers on one estimate: patch and recoat where the substrate is sound, a full replaster, and a plaster finish over a cavity batten reclad.
Area carries the price
Put the square metres in and the base number is there. No rate half remembered on the tailgate at the end of a long day.
Three lines, one estimate
Patch, replaster, reclad finish. Seen side by side, the middle one usually wins, which is the one you wanted anyway.
Exclusions in writing
Scaffold, painting, making good the drive. Naming what is out of scope on the estimate settles it before it becomes a conversation.
Finishes priced as options · Pro
Pro adds option groups to those lines, so the texture, the colour coat and the extra scaffold lift each carry their own difference against the square metre rate, and the number moves while the owner decides.

Booked out until the weather turns.
Plasterers rarely lose work by being slow. They lose it by being full and saying nothing, so the owner rings the next name on the list.
Full still answers
The page names the first week you can be on the scaffold rather than showing an empty grid nobody knows how to read.
The enquiry lands anyway
Address, wall area and system arrive in the inbox even with no slot open, which matters the day a job falls over.
Holes get filled fast
When a reclad slips a fortnight, the people who asked while you were full are already sitting in one thread waiting.
New extension in Grey Lynn — rear elevation and both side walls. Any chance of a texture finish before the end of the year?
Three coats on one house, in the order they can go on.
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.
What the house is on, and what it is on next.
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
Built for the walls you actually render
Solid plaster over AAC panel
Base coat, mesh and finish on a panel-clad new build, priced by wall area with each step of the system on its own line.
Plaster finish on a cavity batten reclad
The job that follows the builder off a monolithic house. Books as a multi-week run rather than one visit with a hopeful end date.
EPS and polystyrene systems
Sheets, base coat, mesh, texture. Priced on area with the board thickness as an option that changes the total, not a conversation.
Plaster over brick veneer
A seventies house given a monolithic look. Quoted per square metre with the sills and reveals called out separately so nothing is assumed.
Texture recoat on a tired facade
Wash, prime, recoat. Small enough to take straight from the booking page and drop into a gap between two scaffold weeks.
Crack repair and drummy patching
Cut out, rebond, blend back. Priced by the hour because most of the work is matching what is already on the wall.
Making good after new joinery
Reveals and sills reinstated after the window crew leave. Slots in as a short block against the same house record as the main job.
Plastered fences and block walls
Boundary walls, letterboxes and garage walls. Quick money that books itself online instead of costing you a site visit to price.
Chimney and parapet render
The bit that always leaks. Booked with the scaffold it needs, so it does not turn into a second trip and a second hire charge.
Internal solid plaster
Float and set to internal walls on a renovation. Sits against the builder on the same job record as the exterior system.
The day it will not dry.
Damp morning, southerly at lunchtime, base coat still green at three. Every plaster week gets rearranged and the calendar has to keep up.
Move the block
Push the texture to Friday and the rest of the house follows. The owner sees the new time without you ringing anyone.
Rescheduling is free
Moving work around the week is on every plan. Charging for weather would be a strange way to run a plastering business.
The job keeps up
The record knows which coats are on and which are not, so whoever turns up tomorrow is not reading the wall for clues.
Paid before the scaffold drops.
Money is easiest to ask for while the house still looks like a building site. A fortnight later it just looks finished and free.
Cash and transfer stay free
Mark it paid on the job and move on. Recording money by hand is not something you pay us for.
Cards come with Pro
For the owner standing on the lawn who would rather tap a card than find your account number indoors.
Stages sit on the booking
A long reclad can be split into stages on Pro, taken as the coats go on rather than asked for before you start.

Where the scaffold is worth taking.
Plant, staging and a gang do not travel cheaply. Say once where you work, and the enquiries that were never viable stop arriving.
Draw it on a map
Pick the suburbs rather than typing a radius that takes in a harbour, a hill and none of the streets you plaster.
Out of area gets an answer
Someone past the line hears back straight away instead of waiting a week for a quote that was never going to come.
Two gangs, two patches
A second crew across town gets its own area, so nobody drives past the other one on the motorway at seven in the morning.

The builder and the owner, on the same house.
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.

Which render quotes went quiet.
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.

Common questions.
External Plastering is one of the Licensed Building Practitioner licence classes run by MBIE, and restricted building work on a home has to be done or supervised by someone licensed for it. The register is at lbp.govt.nz. Bookables runs your jobs, it does not vouch for your licence.
Yes. Set the service to price on wall area and put your rate against it. Option groups then carry the finish, so a fine texture and a coarse trowel finish each show their own difference against the base rate instead of being argued over on site.
Keep the house as one booking and add lines as the substrate tells you what it is. The estimate builds up in front of the owner rather than turning into three separate quotes nobody can line up against each other.
Cash and bank transfer are marked off by hand and cost nothing. Cards come with Pro. On a long reclad you can split the money into stages on Pro, taken as the work goes on rather than asked for at booking.
Draw the areas you actually plaster in and anything past the line is turned away before it hits your calendar. There is no extra charge for a longer drive, so a far job is priced the same way a close one is.
Tax is a switch per service, so GST sits on the line rather than being bolted on at the bottom. Estimate and invoice numbers are set once and stay set.
