Residential new build plastering covers full plasterboard installation from frame inspection through pre-paint handover on single dwellings, extensions and substantial renovations that re-frame internal walls. Canperty programmes board hang, joint, set and sand to the finish level nominated under AS/NZS 2589 — typically Level 4 for matt and low-sheen paint in bedrooms and circulation, with Level 5 considered for open living under skylights or critical downlight grids.
New home scope includes standard 10 mm and 13 mm board to dry areas, moisture-resistant board to bathrooms, laundries and WC compartments, and fire-rated systems where garage-to-house or inter-tenancy walls require FRL construction. Bulkheads, raked ceilings, shadowline junctions and feature cornices are set to the same standard as flat walls because junction quality defines perceived build quality at handover.
Eastern Melbourne new builds in Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Vermont and surrounding suburbs often release framing in stages across two storeys. We align ceiling and wall hangs with electrical rough-in and plumbing inspection windows so penetrations do not breach finished linings. Builders value line-item quotes mapping to their cost plan — board supply option, set level by zone, access and programme loadings stated explicitly.
New build clients should confirm electrical and plumbing rough-in inspection dates before locking plaster start — premature hang creates pierce-and-fix rework. Frame walkthroughs before quote finalisation help identify substrate risk early.
Typical Scope
Typical inclusions: wall and ceiling plasterboard, standard and MR zones, set compounds, sanding, pierce-and-fix for services after rough-in, downlight cut-out edging, cornice supply and install where specified, control joints at long wall runs, and pre-paint dust-off. Exclusions unless stated: painting, tiling, insulation supply, framing correction, and structural engineering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is typical new build plaster scope?
Wall and ceiling plasterboard, standard and MR zones, jointing and setting to nominated AS/NZS 2589 level, downlight edging, cornice where specified, control joints and pre-paint dust-off. Painting and framing correction are excluded unless stated.
Should rough-in be inspected before plaster starts?
Yes. Electrical and plumbing rough-in approval before hang prevents pierce-and-fix rework. Frame walkthroughs before quote finalisation identify substrate risks early.
Are two-storey releases sequenced per floor?
Framing release often stages per floor. We align ceiling and wall hang with lock-up milestones and wet area hold sequencing.
