Commercial painting in New Zealand
Commercial painting
Commercial painting for working buildings. Shop fronts, offices, warehouses, stairwells and common areas. Inside, outside or both.
A good request
Tell us four things.
- The site and the suburb.
- The scope, in a few lines.
- The hours work can happen.
- Any tender closing date.
The work
What the job covers.
The paint work is the same as on a house. The planning around it is not.
Tell us the building, the surfaces and when the work can happen. Night and weekend work change the plan, so say early.
- Interior repaint
- Exterior repaint
- Roof painting
- Common areas and stairwells
- Line marking
- Anti-graffiti coating
Who it is for
Built around the site.
Retail and hospitality
Plan the work around your trading hours.
Shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Tell us the hours you trade and the hours you are closed. Work after close or at weekends can be part of the plan. Say so in the request.
Tell us the jobOffices
Work that fits around the working week.
One floor, one tenancy or the whole building. Tell us when staff are in and when the floor is empty. Say if lifts, loading bays or parking need booking.
Tell us the jobBody corporate
Work the committee can read and approve.
Common areas, exteriors, roofs and stairwells. Many owners share one building, so the scope must be clear. A written scope is easier for a committee to approve. Tell us what the work covers and who signs off.
Send the scopeSchools and early learning
Work that fits the school year.
Classrooms, halls and roofs. Many schools plan work for the holidays. Tell us which weeks suit and which buildings are in use. Say if the site has its own safety rules.

Before you send
What to put in your request.
The more you tell us, the clearer the scope. You can leave out what you do not know.
- The type of site, and the suburb or town.
- The trade, and what the work covers. Rooms, floors, walls, roof or square metres.
- Inside, outside or both.
- Access. Height, lifts, scaffolding and how to get on the roof.
- When the site is open, and when work can happen.
- If tenants, staff or customers stay in during the work.
- The date the work must be done by.
- If it is a tender, the closing date.
- Site rules, such as an induction or a site-specific safety plan.
- If the building is older, say if it has an asbestos management plan.
- Any specification, colour schedule or drawings you have.

Questions
Good questions.
Can the work happen after hours or at weekends?
You can ask for it. Pick the hours in the form. Night and weekend work change the plan, so it helps to say early.
What safety plan should a contractor show?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, every business on a site has duties. Many sites ask for a site-specific safety plan, or SSSP. Ask to see it before work starts.
Who is responsible for safety when several businesses share a site?
Each business must consult, co-operate and co-ordinate with the others. No business can contract out of its own duties. That includes the building owner or manager.
Can one request cover several sites?
Yes. Pick multi-site in the form. List each site and its suburb in the scope.
Can I send a request for a tender?
Yes. Pick yes for tender and put the closing date in the scope. In preview, no business sees it yet.
Does an older building change the job?
It can. A building built before 2000 may contain asbestos. If the site has an asbestos management plan, say so in the request.
Who sees my request?
Only House Proud Commercial. Your request goes into a private store. While we are in preview, no business gets it.
