Rendering in Australia ranges from $15/m² for basic texture coat to $150/m² for a full render and insulation combo system. Prices per m² include GST. Standard residential external render. Scaffolding, repair work or insulation systems are charged separately.
The most common types in Australia are cement render, acrylic render, texture coat, lime render, silicone render, and render repair. Each has different cost, performance, and application characteristics depending on substrate type and climate.
Acrylic and silicone renders are the best-value systems for most Australian climates. Cement render is more affordable upfront but more prone to cracking. Lime render is appropriate for heritage or breathable substrates. In humid climates like Brisbane and Darwin, silicone renders offer the best long-term moisture resistance.
A full single-storey house render typically takes 3–5 working days. A double-storey home takes 5–8 days including drying time between coats. Small repair patches can be completed in a single day. EIFS and insulation combo systems take longer due to the additional layers and curing requirements.
