Business Coach for Plasterers Australia

Plastering sits in the middle of every build program, so your week is set by other trades and your price is set by a builder. Coaching gets both back under your control.

The problem

Your program is the builder's program, and so is your price.

We work on square-metre rates built from your own jobs (sheet, set, sand, the second trip when the sparky is late), payment terms that protect cashflow on big builds, and the systems to run two crews across two sites without being on either.

Coaching is one-on-one with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.

Plastering sits in the middle of every build. The sparky and the plumber have to be done before you sheet; the painter is waiting for you to set and sand. The builder sets the program and, too often, the price. The result is a business whose week and whose margin are both decided by someone else.

Coaching starts with a square-metre rate that is yours: built from your own jobs, with the sheet, the set, the sand, the ceilings, the cornice, the second trip because the site was not ready, and the overheads of running crews across sites. From that comes a quote that spells out what the builder owes you if the program moves, and payment terms that keep cashflow moving on the big builds where the final claim is months away.

Then the systems to run more than one crew. A program you control, a lead hand on each site who finishes to your standard, and job tracking so you know which builders pay on time and which jobs make money. That is what lets you take the second crew on without doubling your hours.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How should a plasterer set a square-metre rate?

From your own jobs: sheeting, setting, sanding, ceilings, cornice, the extra trips and the overheads of crews and vehicles, plus margin. Coaching builds the rate from your past work rather than from what a builder offers.

How do I deal with builders who move the program?

With terms in the quote: what happens when the site is not ready, a charge for the wasted trip, and progress claims on larger builds. Coaching sets the terms and the conversation.

Can coaching help me run a second crew?

Yes. A lead hand per site, a finish standard, a program you control and job tracking are the pieces, and coaching builds them so the second crew adds profit rather than hours.

Should I work for builders or go direct to homeowners?

Both can pay, at different rates and terms. Coaching tracks your margin by job and by builder so the mix is a decision, not an accident.

Do you coach plasterers outside your area?

Yes. Coaching is online, Australia-wide, with weekly one-on-one calls.
