Townhouse and unit development plastering demands programme discipline and finish consistency across repeated layouts. A six-unit row in Mount Waverley or Box Hill corridor releases framing in waves; lining crews must maintain identical cornice profiles, junction details and sand standards from lot 1 through lot 6 so developer settlement photography and owner walkthroughs show no drift between units.
Canperty crews the same lead setter across repeated floor plans to prevent profile variation and finish texture differences that painters notice immediately when rolling through identical rooms. Wet areas in each unit receive moisture-resistant board with sealed penetrations before waterproofing trades. Level 4 set is standard through living and sleeping zones unless raking light specifications demand Level 5 in open stair voids or mezzanine edges.
Programme coordination includes painter rotation per unit, lock-up inspection touch-up before handover, and fire-rated corridor or inter-tenancy walls where multi-unit designs require certifier hold points. We communicate weekly progress against the builder's master schedule.
Typical Scope
Multi-unit scope often bundles identical upper and ground templates, shared fire-rated corridor walls, stacked wet areas requiring vertical alignment of board joints, and common property zones finished to builder handover standard. Variations between unit types should be identified on plans early — corner lot differences and mirrored layouts still need explicit schedule rows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is finish consistency maintained across units?
One lead setter across repeated layouts prevents profile and texture drift painters detect when rolling through identical rooms in successive lots.
Are fire-rated corridor walls included?
Multi-unit designs often require inter-tenancy and corridor FRL partitions with certifier hold points. Scope follows the fire engineering schedule on drawings.
When does painter access rotate per unit?
Sand-complete and touch-up precede lock-up inspection per unit. Developer settlement photography requires identical finish standard across all lots.
