Plan the work around your premises
A commercial painting quote needs to account for people using the building as well as the surfaces being painted. Tell us about opening hours, tenant access, customer areas and any dates that matter to your business.
For an office refresh, retail fit-out or exterior repaint, we can discuss how the work might be staged. After-hours work and reopening times need to be agreed for the particular project and products, rather than assumed.
We serve Tauranga businesses and managed properties, including the city centre, Tauriko, Mount Maunganui and Papamoa. Include the site address, contact person and a description of the proposed work in your enquiry.
Tell us the location, scope and timing.
Build a proposal you can approve with confidence
For a commercial property, a clear decision often needs more than one total price. Identify the work that must happen now, the finish required and the options you would like to compare.
Separate essential work from optional areas
Group the surfaces by room, tenancy or elevation and mark your priorities. For example, an entrance and reception refresh may be essential while other offices can follow later. Ask for optional areas to be identifiable in the proposal so a budget decision does not leave the accepted work ambiguous.
Use the same brief for each proposal
Provide the same list of surfaces, colour requirements and known defects when comparing quotes. Check how each proposal describes preparation, access, repairs and excluded work. If one price covers walls only and another includes ceilings and joinery, resolve that difference before choosing on price.
Make approval and handover straightforward
Identify who approves colours, variations and completed work. For several tenants or buildings, agree who consolidates instructions and arranges access. Include the records you want at handover, such as the final colour schedule and product information, in the brief so expectations are clear before work starts.
For a combined exterior programme, include roof repairs and coatings in the brief. Specialist specifications should remain clearly identified within the wider proposal.
What a commercial proposal should address
- Surfaces and specification: Identify the rooms, elevations and surfaces to be included. Share drawings, colour requirements or an existing specification if you have them.
- Site access and work hours: Set out opening hours, access restrictions and any need for staging. Confirm arrangements for occupied areas and any access equipment.
- Site requirements: Tell us about induction, documentation, tenant notifications and any requirements specific to the property. These should be addressed before work is booked.
- Scope, variations and handover: Agree on the included work, exclusions, programme and handover process. Any changes to the scope or price should be discussed before the additional work proceeds.

Compare the scope as well as the price
Preparation, building height, access equipment, work hours and staging can materially affect a commercial quote. A commercial proposal needs to account for the building and its operating requirements. Request a proposal that makes the surfaces, preparation, access and exclusions clear.
For specialist work, see industrial coatings, commercial roof coatings or school and facility maintenance. Mention the requirements so the appropriate scope can be assessed.
Painting for different commercial properties
- Offices and shops: Refresh walls, ceilings, doors and trim, or discuss an exterior repaint. Share brand colours and the way staff or customers will use the space.
- Rentals and body corporates: Define the dwelling or common areas, the contact responsible for approval and any tenant or resident access requirements. Include the intended handover date.
- Ongoing property maintenance: Discuss a programme of inspections, building washing, touch-ups and repainting based on the property. Frequency, scope and payment terms should be confirmed in the proposal.
Commercial painting questions
Tell us the hours available and any restrictions. We can discuss whether after-hours work or staging is suitable and confirm the arrangements in the proposal.
That depends on the work, products, access and occupants. Reopening and return-to-service times need to be agreed for the project, rather than assumed from the paint being dry to touch.
Yes, you can request a maintenance proposal. Describe the property, current condition and work you would like included so the scope and frequency can be discussed.
Include the site location, surfaces or areas, preferred dates, opening hours and the person responsible for approval. Mention any drawings or site-specific requirements you can share.
