About the template
What this plasterer quote template covers and why it wins more work
Plastering quotes lose work when 'skim coat from $ X' is the only line. The template below shows area in sqm, number of coats (one-coat vs two-coat), any board supplied, scaffold hire if needed, and bag count of plaster.
Patch vs full re-skim is a real cost difference. Customers want clarity and the template forces the conversation upfront, not on the day.
What to include
Every plasterers quote should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your quote from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on plasterers quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Quoting per sqm only
Better: Itemise removal, board, plaster, skim coats. Customer sees the full build-up.
Mistake: Coat count not stated
Better: One-coat skim is fine for a refresh, two-coat is required for fresh board. State which.
Mistake: Plaster bags hidden
Better: State 'Multi-finish 15 bags supplied'. Customer reconciles against delivery slip.
Mistake: Removal not itemised
Better: Stripping old plaster is real labour and disposal. Quote separately so the customer values it.
Mistake: Scaffold silent
Better: Anything above 4m needs scaffold. Quote separately so customers see the access cost.
Mistake: Drying time not communicated
Better: Fresh plaster needs 14-21 days drying before paint. State on quote to avoid premature painting.
