Re: Installing plasterboard and flushing - going hourly rate 24Mar 24, 2010 7:29 pm hi guys, I'm a fully licenced and qualified plasterer in Queensland. The term you need to use when searching for a plasterer to apply plaster to your sheets is 'setting'. Americans call it 'flushing' or 'finishing'. Also just a quick note even though it has been a while since the last post and you may have already had the job done by now. But if your house has a total board area of 1300m2, there is no possibilty of one professional doing the 'setting' in one day. I'd say it'd take more than 6 people to get even close to that. Even with the modern tools to make things easier and quicker, we still need to wait for the 'set' time of plaster which in the best case would be 20 minutes, and that would be very costly as that type of plaster is quite expensive. I work for myself and by myself and for me to completely 'set' a house like that would take me over a week with all the right equipment to make it easier and quicker. Then you would also need to cornice the house if you decided to cornice or whichever you decided on. Basically what I'm saying is, for the actual plastering aspect of your house I would allow up to $5.00m2 for 'setting', $5.00 lineal metre for plain scotia cornice, and for basic external corners allow up to $25 per 2700mm external. There can also be many extra costs depending on the type of finishes and features you might want, such as square setting, bulkheads, decorative cornice, custom externals. So like many things there are many diffeerent aspects to plastering which can majorly affect the total price of a job. But if you were after just the basic run of the mill job i would estimate your house to cost anywhere between $9,000 - $11,000. I hope this helps and if there is any details you or anyone else would like to know about plastering costs/procedures don't hesitate to contact me Boyd Re: Installing plasterboard and flushing - going hourly rate 25Mar 24, 2010 10:06 pm HI Boyd, Very informative, thanks a lot.

However the price you quoted for a basic job sounds to cheap for 1300 squaremeters. If that including labour. and where are you located. Re: Installing plasterboard and flushing - going hourly rate 27Mar 25, 2010 12:46 pm weve got a plasterer coming in to do ours in vic at an hourly rate of $30.00 we are supplying everything his just bringing himself and his tools stay safe happy building Re: Installing plasterboard and flushing - going hourly rate 28Mar 26, 2010 5:18 pm hi, sorry i had to change my username as i didn't read the T&C's properly.. oops Borg - that was just a rough estimate without knowing the full details and that price would be for setting and cornicing only. With me supplying all necessary plster and externals. That price does not include supply of plasterboard or cornice. I'm in Toowoomba, QLD. This is only my pricing, there may be others out there that can do it cheaper than I can and some who do it alot dearer than I do. It all comes down to how easy a tradesman is to deal with and the quality of his work Re: Installing plasterboard and flushing - going hourly rate 29Mar 27, 2010 7:32 pm boydellem hi, sorry i had to change my username as i didn't read the T&C's properly.. oops Borg - that was just a rough estimate without knowing the full details and that price would be for setting and cornicing only.
