What render specialists say about Trade2Base
“Quoting render used to take me ages because I had to work out m², material bags and labour separately for every job. Trade2Base does it in seconds once I have entered the area and chosen the system. I am sending quotes the same day now instead of the same week.”
“The before-and-after photos shared automatically on completion have transformed my follow-up business. Developers see the finished result in the customer portal and I have had three repeat orders this year from customers who showed it to their neighbours.”
“Running five render crews across different postcodes was a scheduling nightmare. Now I can see all jobs on one calendar, assign crews by location and send materials orders based on what is actually booked. We have cut wasted prep days by about a third.”
Common questions from render specialists
Trade2Base includes pre-built render templates for K-rend Silicon K15, Weber Silicone TC, Parex Monorex and standard sand-and-cement systems. Each template has coverage rates built in — enter the m² area and the system calculates scratch coat, top coat, beads and mesh quantities automatically. You can adjust for waste, colour surcharges and access requirements.
Each job has a multi-day scheduler where you can block out prep day, scratch coat day, top coat day and snagging day separately. Crew assignments, material deliveries and customer notifications are tied to each day. If weather causes a delay you can move the whole sequence and the customer WhatsApp notifications update automatically.
Yes — log the bags of scratch coat, top coat and ancillaries actually used on site and compare against the quoted quantities. Trade2Base shows you the variance per job and flags any jobs where actual material spend significantly exceeded the quote, so you can adjust your coverage rates for future pricing.
Trade2Base sends before-and-after photos to the customer portal automatically on job completion. Developers can share the portal link with their own clients or colleagues. You can also set automated follow-up messages six or twelve months after completion offering maintenance inspections or re-render quotes, which generates repeat enquiries without any manual chasing.
