Painting
and decorating.

Good painting starts before the first coat. We check the surfaces, agree on repairs and skim coating, and protect the parts of the property that stay in use.

Access: who hands over the keys and when the property is available.
Decisions: how materials, changes and additional work are approved before execution.
Updates: the agreed frequency of photos, phase summaries and next steps.

Quote and preparation

What determines
the price?

Condition of existing surfaces
Wall and ceiling area and height
Scope of protection, preparation and chosen paint

Painting and skim coating are measured by wall and ceiling area, not the flat’s floor area. If only the floor area is known, we use floor area × 3 for an initial estimate; final quantities are measured. The quote specifies preparation, protection, coats and paint. Major repairs, removal of unstable coatings and full skim coating are separate unless stated. An estimate is not a firm quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

What does standard painting include, and what is agreed separately?

The confirmed standard white-painting package covers labour and materials, protection, minor repairs, priming, two coats, removal of protection and basic cleaning. For furnished rooms, moving and replacing furniture within the property is agreed; carrying furniture out is not included. Full skim coating, major repairs, chosen colours and washable coatings are specified separately in the quote.

Does a 100 m² flat mean 100 m² of painting?

No. A 100 m² floor gives approximately 300 m² of walls and ceilings only as an initial estimate using floor area × 3. The layout, heights and actual surfaces can produce a different quantity. If you already have measured wall and ceiling areas, we use those without multiplying again.

How much does painting cost per m²?

The condition and size of the surfaces, the protection needed and the paint you choose all affect the price. Send photos and approximate measurements; the quote will show what's included and how it's priced.

Do walls need skim coating before painting?

Some walls need only local repairs; others need more preparation. We'll inspect the existing paint and damage, then price skim coating and sanding separately where needed.

Do you use spray equipment?

Yes. Whether we spray or paint by hand depends on the room, the coating and how well surrounding surfaces can be protected.

How long does the work take?

The size of the job, preparation, drying time and furniture all affect the schedule. We'll agree on the order and timing after seeing the property.

A client's experience with this kind of work

★★★★★Google review · translated from Croatian

I'm very pleased with the painting. Build Grupa finished the whole apartment quickly and neatly, just as we'd agreed. I particularly appreciated the care they took to protect the rooms and tidy up afterwards.
Željko was easy to reach, straightforward and kept to everything we'd agreed. The result looks great; I'd hire them again.

Vrlo zadovoljan odrađenim poslom. Build Grupa nam je odradila kompletno farbanje stana, uredno, brzo i prema dogovoru. Posebno pohvaljujem zaštitu prostora i čistoću nakon završetka radova.
Željko je bio korektan, dostupan i držao se svega što smo dogovorili. Rezultat je odličan i svakako bih ih ponovno angažirao.
