Five plastering service areas — new build, renovation, ceilings, repairs and commercial programmes — quoted with board type, finish level and access stated explicitly.
New build covers full board installation on framed dwellings and multi-unit releases. Renovation skim coats level legacy substrates for modern paint. Ceilings and cornices handle the planes downlights judge hardest. Repairs diagnose cracks and moisture damage proportionately. Commercial work scales output against framing release and certifier windows.
Insurance remediation and owner-occupier patch work are quoted with structural scope separated from plaster scope. Developer programmes include repeat-unit consistency so painter rotation does not expose finish drift between lots.
Each service aligns with AS/NZS 2589 finish nomination by room or zone. Builders receive line items suitable for cost plans; homeowners receive plain-language scope without undefined provisional sums discovered on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which service category fits my project?
Full dwelling linings are new build scope. Whole-home levelling over legacy walls is renovation. Localised cracks or water damage are repairs. Shop, office or multi-unit programmes are commercial — email plans if multiple categories apply and we split scope on the proposal.
Are all five services quoted the same way?
Each service quote names board type, approximate area, AS/NZS 2589 finish level, access and programme. Commercial proposals add tenancy handover dates and hold-point assumptions; repair quotes may be photo-based for fast turnaround.
Do you undertake small patch jobs?
Yes. Single-room patches, ceiling repairs and insurance remediation are quoted proportionately. Minimum mobilisation and access constraints are stated on small-scope proposals.
Can one contractor handle new build and later renovation work?
Many builders and homeowners re-engage Canperty for extensions, skim programmes and repairs on properties we originally lined. Prior knowledge of substrate and finish level speeds later scope discussions.
What is excluded from plastering quotes unless stated?
Painting, tiling, insulation supply, framing correction, structural engineering and waterproofing membrane installation are typically excluded. Exclusions are listed on written quotes.
Engagement Process
Selecting a plastering contractor should compare scope clarity, not only price. Our quotes identify board types, finish levels, approximate areas and programme assumptions so you can evaluate proposals equally. Builders receive line items aligned to cost plans; homeowners receive plain language without undefined provisional sums that inflate on site.
Residential enquiries often start with PDF plans or a walkthrough for renovation work. We ask about lighting design, wet area specifications, fire-rated walls and access constraints before finalising price. Commercial enquiries add tenancy handover dates, after-hours requirements and certifier hold points. Two-stage quotes — allowance then firm price after measure — are offered when drawings lack detail.
During execution we maintain direct communication with supervisors and owners. Framing concerns are raised before concealment. Programme changes from other trades are discussed honestly so painter bookings adjust. At handover surfaces are dust-free with finish level confirmed against the quote. Defect lists at pre-paint inspection are remedied before painters mobilise where our scope is implicated.
