How much do painters charge in NZ?

When employing a painting company, it is important the client knows what they are looking for in terms of budget and timeframe.

A key component to cost is manpower utilised. You may notice labour costs vary from company to company. Obviously having more personnel on site will decrease the time required to complete the job. However, the increase in productivity with more manpower employed is more than relative to the corresponding number of painters working. For example, what one painter can do in 40 hours, 2 paints should achieve in 15 hours because of the more efficient setup process taking less time.

So, bear this in mind when seeking quotes: what may initially seem an expensive hourly labour cost will actually end up the more economical option at the completion of the job.
