Quote and preparation
What determines
the price?
- Facade area, height and site access
- Existing condition and required repairs
- Chosen system, details and scaffolding
Repainting, render repairs and a new external wall insulation system (ETICS) are different scopes. We measure facade surfaces and details separately. The quote expressly defines scaffolding, protection, removal, window sills and waste disposal. An initial estimate is not a firm quotation; you approve additional repairs or changes before they proceed.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions.
How are insulation and the final finish selected?
The choice follows the design requirements, existing substrate and intended finish. The quotation identifies the selected system and included layers. We agree on materials before purchase and installation.
Is scaffolding included?
Only where the quote expressly includes it. We assess building height and access and state the scope and price of scaffolding and protection. Window sills, metalwork, removal and waste disposal also need an explicit status.
Can you repair a facade without adding insulation?
Yes, the enquiry can concern repairs, repainting or a new insulation system. We assess the existing wall and agree on the appropriate scope. Repainting alone does not repair loose render or resolve the cause of damp.
How are facade openings and details measured?
Send the elevation and opening dimensions you have. BUILD’s quotation basis retains openings up to 3 m²; for larger openings, only the part above 3 m² is deducted. Reveals, soffits and other details are separate unless included in the item. This basis is stated and agreed in the quotation; it is not presented as a mandatory standard.
