Painting & decorating
Paint into finished rooms, not ones still being worked.
Painting is late-sequence and gets squeezed from both ends — you can't cut in until the plasterboard's stopped and sanded, and you'll be back doing touch-ups after every trade that follows. SiteLive books your prep, undercoat and finish as real stages per room and warns you when the room in front of you isn't done.
What you get
- Prep, undercoat and finish booked as stages per room
- Clash alerts when stopping or sanding isn't complete
- Touch-up and make-good stages scheduled after following trades
- Paint and material deliveries timed to the coat, not the day
- Crew lookahead so painters aren't idle in a dusty room
- Invited subbie painters confirm their slots for free
How it works
- 1Stage the rooms
Each room carries prep, undercoat and finish stages, so a crew is sent only to rooms ready for that coat.
- 2Wait on the finishers
Link finish coats to plasterboard and fit-out so you don't paint a wall that's about to be cut into.
- 3Plan the touch-ups
Book make-good after the trades that follow, so the punch list is worked, not forgotten.
FAQ
Can we schedule per room and per coat?
Yes. Rooms are bookable areas and each coat is a stage, so your lookahead reflects the real multi-visit reality of painting.
How do we avoid painting too early?
Link finish coats to the finishing trades ahead; a slip raises a clash before your crew mobilises.
Can we track touch-ups after other trades?
Yes — make-good is a booked stage tied to the trades that follow, so it's planned rather than chased.
Do subbie painters pay?
No. Invited subbies confirm free; one flat price per site.
