Rendering in New Zealand ranges from NZ$18/m² for basic texture coat to NZ$160/m² for a full render and insulation combo system. Prices per m² include GST. Standard residential external render. Monolithic cladding homes may require specialist inspection before re-rendering.
The most common types in New Zealand 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 recommended for New Zealand's varied climate. Lime render is appropriate for heritage buildings. Monolithic cladding homes should be professionally inspected before re-rendering to check for concealed moisture damage.
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.
