— Wall area. The total external m² is the core driver — bigger homes cost proportionally more.

— Render system. Cement render is cheapest; acrylic systems cost more but resist cracking and carry the colour.

— Substrate and condition. Painted brick, damaged mortar or mixed cladding need extra prep or base coats.

— Storeys and access. Scaffolding for a two-storey home can add several thousand dollars.

— Detailing. Window reveals, quoins, banding and parapets slow the job and add cost.

— Cement render needs painting afterwards — factor that in when comparing it against coloured acrylic.

— Ask what surface preparation is included, especially over painted or damaged brickwork.

— Check completed jobs a year or two old — quality shows in how the render has weathered, not how it looks on day one.
