EWI Labour rate

[ru5tymac]

Hi everyone,

Currently pricing a job which require a 150 mm Rockwell system, with a silcone thin coat over the top. The rendering side of things is no problem to price but I’ve been ringing round subcontractors for the ewi and the meterage rates are all over the place. Does anyone know the going meterage rate for a good installer? Also if anyone fancy pricing it drop me a message it’s 2000 m2 in the Suffolk area

Cheers

Russ

be a nice job for someone..

big companies will be higher than sub contractors so you will find a 10 15quid a metre difference

It's finding competent fellas as well at present, i.e. Not many about, that's sending rates sky high.

the only difference would be the cement board needs joints scrimmed with 120mm mesh then base coat with full mesh.
the scrimming of the joints does take time as it needs to be tight and neat. you don't want to put a bump on the wall.

 

[spunky]

It’s mono on top malc so don’t worry there will be more bumps than a few scrim joints lol, we haven’t done the cement boarding it was done by others and a good job expansion gaps around all boards blah blah, I’ve never heard of scrimming the joints before though do you buy the 120mm rolls or just cut down render mesh?

you can purchase 120mm rolls or just cut down the render mesh.
the only render carrier board that we use is the Knauf aqua panel. scrimming the joints is part of their spec.
there is a lightweight mono but we have not used it i guess that is what you will require on a carrier board. we always talk them into acrylic 1.5 grit. a similar finish but less work.
