What rendering costs
Across Australia, rendering typically runs $1,617 – $5,565 for new render, and $1,719 – $6,021 for texture finish.
Local prices vary, so these are typical Australia-wide ranges, not a quote for Victoria. What you'll pay comes down to the size of the job, the condition of what's being worked on, and the finish you choose. Get a few quotes to see your exact number. It's free.
Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a renderer.
Fire Safety Assessment May Apply
Most of Victoria is designated bushfire prone land. A fire safety assessment may be needed for building works — check with your builder or council before starting. Vegetation management rules may apply for landscaping.
Cooler Months Give Better Results
Summers in most of Victoria are warm enough to affect renderer work — materials can dry or cure too quickly on the hottest days. Your tradie will plan their work around the temperature — prep and shade-side work in the heat, application when conditions are right.
What's in a good Rendering quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each renderer's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
