Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 10, 2013 6:46 pm How much should render cost for a brick house? We were quoted $2,000 for our two portico pillars (amounting to about 10m2), and we thought that was ridiculous. I went on Google and found quotes for $600 for the same area. What is a realistic price for render per m2?

Re: Render costs? 7Feb 11, 2013 12:33 am Our front render was included in the specs. Render to garage was $2,694.00 Render to entire house (not including garage) $1,577.00 I guess each builder charges what they see fit. Re: Render costs? 8Feb 11, 2013 12:59 am I have had post build quotes of $6000 for acrylic render to the 2 sides rear and 5 alfresco pillars, can't understand how it can cary from $1700 with the builder to $6k.

Re: Render costs? 10Feb 11, 2013 9:28 am We're getting our entire house rendered in acrylic - less than $3k for the whole thing!! Re: Render costs? 11Feb 11, 2013 10:24 am Mike; I don't really know what method the builder uses, but all we want is a render look to the pillars, no need for anything too fancy. Sounds like it varies quite a lot, most builders sound expensive, but I'm more interested in render costs outside of the builder.

Re: Render costs? 16Feb 11, 2013 2:35 pm This is what our builder charged Render House (including paint) - Complete house - $7600.00 - Front façade - $2430.00 Bagging House (including paint) - Complete house $2600.00 - Front facade $950.00 Got the front, front wall and alfresco areas rendered and the rest of the house bagged. Very happy with the results. Re: Render costs? 17Feb 11, 2013 3:24 pm Can someone explain to me what the difference is between render and bagging? Are they just different methods? ETA: Gristy, $97 per m2 is really good. If we got that price it would be half the cost that they're actually quoting us.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I find that bagging is much more noticeable with darker colours and quite neglible with lighter colours (from a distance) Re: Render costs? 19Feb 11, 2013 4:02 pm Yes - bagging is therefore cheaper. You often see it when people change the "look" of their house. Some just paint the brick. Re: Render costs? 20Feb 11, 2013 9:40 pm AubinGroveFan Our front render was included in the specs. Render to garage was $2,694.00 Render to entire house (not including garage) $1,577.00 I guess each builder charges what they see fit. Exactly this - every builder just does what they feel like. Summit charged us $2800 for acrylic render to the entire house bar the inside of the garage. The front facade was already rendered. No slaves, just good value from my point of view.
