The problem
Plastering margins are tight — every underestimated bag or undercharged finish type adds up fast
Clients push back on area-based pricing when they can't see what the m² covers. Bag counts are easy to underestimate when you're working from total m² rather than room-by-room. Remedial prep — raking out, dot-and-dab, re-boarding — takes real time that rarely makes it onto the quote. And specialist finishes need a higher rate that's hard to justify without showing the work behind the price. CostForge gives plasterers the structure to address all of this.
Reusable quote templates
Reuse room and finish scopes while adjusting every measurement.
Save a standard skim, boarding or render package with the usual preparation, materials and labour structure. Import it into a new quote and change room areas, finish specifications and remedial requirements.

Save the structure once, import it into a new quote, then adjust items, hours and pricing for the job in front of you.

The solution
Built for the way plasterers actually price work
Room-by-Room Quote Structure
Quote each room separately — ceiling, walls, reveals — with its own area, finish specification, and labour rate. Client sees the full scope room by room, not a single area total they can argue with.
Finish Specification per Area
Set different labour rates for two-coat skim, mist coat prep, sand and set, or venetian finish. Assign the correct rate to each area — stop undercharging on specialist finishes.
Materials as Quantified Lines
Plaster bags, bonding, beads, scrim, and PVA — each on their own line at merchant cost plus mark-up. Bag count calculated from area, not guessed. Materials margin protected.
Render Quote Structure
External render jobs need their own structure: scratch coat, top coat, beads, stop ends, and scaffolding. Keep internal and external work in separate sections with the right material and labour rates for each.
Professional PDF for Main Contractors
New-build main contractors and developers require written plastering schedules. Export a branded PDF with room-by-room areas and finish specifications — win contracts from builders who need paperwork.
