How many scuffs, dents and cracks need filling first.
Each door, frame and railing takes extra time.

Check the registerTwo Queensland body corporate rules that shape how a committee plans and approves a repaint.
Most Queensland bodies corporate have a major spending limit. The body corporate can set it at a general meeting. If it has not, a default based on the number of lots applies. When a painting job costs more than the limit, including GST, at least 2 quotes must be considered.
Our quote is fixed-scope and in writing. It lists each area and surface, so the committee can put it beside another quote and compare them line by line.
Queensland Government: spending limitsMost Queensland bodies corporate must keep a sinking fund. It pays for big or one-off items, and the Queensland Government names painting as one of them.
Each year, the sinking fund budget must set money aside for likely spending over at least the next 9 years, such as painting the building. A written quote from Dan gives the committee a real figure to plan with.
