Rendering quoting

Rendering quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Rendering is per-sqm work where the wall area is only half the story — substrate condition, coat count and whether you need scaffold or a base coat move the price as much as the size does. Tradewin prices each job against your real sand, cement, acrylic and labour costs, from a feature-wall patch to a full house re-render, and sends the quote straight from site. Save your standard finishes — cement, acrylic, texture coat — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote is priced in a couple of taps.

What drives the price of rendering work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Substrate condition

What you're rendering over sets the prep — a sound blockwork wall and a patchy, previously-painted surface need very different base preparation before a coat goes on.

Coats & product

Site-mixed sand-and-cement, pre-mixed coloured render and acrylic systems price differently per sqm, and the number of coats multiplies straight through the rate.

Scaffold & access

A single-storey feature wall is ground-level work; a full house re-render often needs scaffold and careful access, which drives major variation on the same per-sqm rate.

Finish type

Texture coats, Venetian and polished interior finishes take more skill and time than a straight float-and-set — the finish spec changes the labour, not just the material.

Common rendering jobs and what moves the price

  • Acrylic Render

    Surface prep, number of coats, and whether a base coat is needed affect pricing.

  • Cement Render

    Substrate condition, thickness, and whether expansion joints are needed vary cost.

  • Coloured / Pre-mixed Render

    Premium pre-mixed products cost more per sqm than site-mixed render.

  • Full House Re-Render

    Scaffold requirements, substrate condition, and access difficulty drive major variation.

  • Interior Render / Venetian

    Venetian and polished plaster finishes require more skill and time.

  • Render Repair / Patching

    Cause of failure and whether a full re-render is recommended affect scope.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tradewin built for renderers?+

Yes. Tradewin supports 10+ rendering job types including Acrylic Render, Cement Render, Coloured / Pre-mixed Render. You can also add custom job types for work that isn't in the list.

How fast can I quote a rendering job?+

Most tradies price and send a quote in under two minutes once costs are saved. Repeat jobs are faster — apply a Recipe and the costs scale to the new job size automatically.

Can customers request quotes via SMS or my website?+

The instant-quote form for your website works on your free trial and every paid plan. SMS text-in — where customers text your Tradewin number — is available from Starter and up. Either way, Tradewin builds the quote from your saved rates, and you review and send, or auto-send for jobs you know cold.

Does Tradewin connect to Xero or ServiceM8?+

Yes. Accepted quotes can push straight to Xero as a draft invoice or to ServiceM8 as a job card — no double data entry.

Can Tradewin quote a full house re-render?+

Yes. Full house re-render is a pre-loaded job type measured by wall area, and you can build scaffold, substrate prep and access costs into the quote so the per-sqm price reflects the real job.

Does it handle texture coats and interior finishes?+

Yes — texture coat, acrylic, coloured render and interior Venetian finishes are separate job types. Enter your product and labour costs and Tradewin prices each finish against its real per-sqm rate.
