Second guy to quote and is very reputable... $60sqm.

probably didnt want the job.

question when they quote per sqm is this of actual wall space, or inc windows etc ( as they need to work the edges etc? i wanna render the front of my place, which is mainly windows, not alot of brick, but want it done regardless

Strange thing is he spoke enthusiastically, said he worked in the area, knew it was a small area and asked for Pic. You couldn't expect the job to be simpler either with great access.
Surely window area isn't included. What if you have huge windows and a small wall area as opposed to just a wall. I know which I would prefer to do. Anyway another guy came, saw it and said $60 sqm. He didn't say this included the sliding door and window areas. I wouldn't accept that type of claim, that's for sure.
