Due to the increasingly high level of expectation
from todays consumers, the opportunities that
were once open to short cuts are quickly
disappearing.
Today we deal with educated owners who are well
versed in the dispute resolution process and are
prepared to fight hard for what they believe are
their entitlements.
In any new dwelling it is the painted surface that
remains on permanent display with the owners
perceptions of the appearance and/or quality taken
as a measure of the standard of workmanship
generally throughout the residence.
As with most aspects of the building industry price
will play a major role in the quality, durability and
appearance of the finished surface. However,
should a dispute arise, the time worn adage of you
get what you pay for is of little consequence to an
unhappy client whose home is his castle and
represents his hard earned savings.
Disputes regarding imperfections in plasterboard
and paint finishes are not new. For many years,
despite best efforts from both plasterers and
painters, surface variations appear and are
highlighted by differences in lighting
conditions.
Levels of finish
Today opportunities exist for additional surface
applications such as:
special finishes applied to paper faced
plasterboard
skim coatings as part of the Australian standard
AS/NZS 2589:1:1997.
However, in order to ensure the correct level of
finish, it is important that the underlying trades,
such as those who provide the framing, also work
to the same quality standard. Remember a quality
finish cannot be achieved without a quality
substrate.
If the plaster finish is expected to be level 5 then
the paint finish will also need to be level 5.
Decoration of
Expectations
Plaster finishes: Expectations v Cost
When attempting to meet consumer expectations
on finishes, surface preparation, paint quality,
colour, application and lighting all need to be given
careful consideration. Although todays
specifications cater for specific levels of finish be
aware that most home owners believe that they
have paid for, and are entitled to, a blemish free
finish irrespective of how difficult that is to achieve.
There is very little sympathy given to the
competitive nature of the quote. Unless specifically
requested, plasterers will quote for a level 4 finish.
However, matching the owners expectations to the
contractors interpretation of a level 4 finish can
sometimes prove to be a challenge.

Common Problem Areas
Bathroom and ensuite ceilings require specific
treatment and should be painted in accordance
with the manufacturers specifications. Flat
waterbased PVA ceiling paint has a limited life
span in wet areas.
Exterior ceilings to patios, walkways, soffits etc
require exterior quality paint (no exceptions).
Gloss paints tend to highlight imperfections and
should only be used in conjunction with a level
5 finish.
Some of todays feature colours can produce
coverage problems so consult your paint
manufacturer first.
Plasterboard manufacturers recommend the
finish coat be roller applied as nap raising
around joint edges and nail holes are
highlighted when paint is sprayed.
In passageways exposed to glancing light, extra
care is required to avoid variations in gloss
levels on jointed surfaces.
Be aware that the growing trend towards coloured
ceilings can highlight surface variations. Flat white
ceiling paint will produce the best results.
decoration
Common Problem Areas
Downlights or spotlights in ceilings placed
close to walls and allowed to reflect down the
wall surface.
Any surface mounted fluorescent lights
Any unshaded bare bulbs.
All bare bulbs produce disappointing results in
plaster ceilings. Once faults have been identified
under these lighting conditions the damage is
done. Installation of light shades prior to handover
will reduce disputes regarding owners perceptions
on quality.

In todays highly competitive environment, costs
have a major impact on a builders viability. It is
common to focus on the visual and presentation
aspects of a house, while overlooking unseen
areas for the sake of economy.
We are aware that many new home buyers on
restricted budgets demand value for money and
look for cost savings wherever possible.
In trying to satisfy this market, it is not
uncommon for the appearance of a house to take
precedence over the structural components.
Unfortunately it is not until later that the
compromises in quality, due to cost cutting, are
met with disappointing results.
When maintenance issues appear, todays shortcuts
become tomorrows disputes.
It is not always easy to identify the causes of
defects that occur in the finish of interior linings.
Some problems can be so complex that the actual
reasons behind a particular issue may never be
identified.
Spare a thought for the plasterers as it is their work
that is immediately questioned. We need to
remember that plaster is only a surface finish
product and does not add to the structural integrity
of a building.
It is both interesting and amusing to observe the
dispute resolution process regarding maintenance
issues especially when it comes to apportioning
blame and costs. Some of the fancy footwork and
sidestepping that follows would do any dance
instructor proud. As a result, the real costs of
maintenance issues are seldom quantified. Painters
and plasterers often undertake repairs as an act of
goodwill or alternatively to avoid conflict and
ensure future business.
When maintenance issues arise they are often the
result of a combination of factors: -
lack of ventilation
no sarking under low pitch tile roofs
absence of proper framing (particularly around
cornice lines and sheet ends)
the use of ceiling joists running parallel
between wide-spaced trusses to obviate the
need for ceiling battens
insufficient framing at directional truss change
shrinkage and/or settlement on large bulkheads,
particularly where they support a truss load for
the full length of a room
building movement/reactive soils
slab heaving
plasterboard installed over wet framing
and the list goes on.
Maintenance - at what cost?

Moisture due to blowback through tiles

No sarking

With the majority of these issues dealt with and
forgotten about in the early life of the building
dont be led into a false sense of security as there
are two more obstacles to overcome.
Firstly, there is an emerging trend where
consumers are selling their homes earlier than
previous generations. When this happens within
the building guarantee period, the builder is
often be called in to rectify maintenance items in
preparation for the sale. This is a growing cost
that the builder has had little exposure to
previously.
Secondly, prospective buyers of recently built
homes will often negotiate a lower price with an
owner to take account of maintenance items.
Once the sale has been completed, the new
owner sometimes calls in the original builder to
rectify those same items under the terms of the
building guarantee. The new owner has had two
wins. The first being the reduced purchase price
and the second is having the items rectified at
no cost by the builder. This is another growing
area of concern for builders.
As building industry legislation has defined
maintenance responsibilities, consumers have
become more aware of their entitlements due to the
competitive nature of the building industry. There is
a need to ensure that maintenance costs are
minimised.

issues
The cause and
Proper design
By following manufacturers installation recom-
mendations, plasterboard will not be subjected to
building movement stress. The positioning of
expansion or control joints in plasterboard needs
to be considered at the design phase and clearly
identified on the working drawings. The references
to control joints in manufacturers literature only
cater for movement in the plasterboard and do not
take into account actual building movement.
Building movement areas of particular concern
include:
Girder trusses
Directional changes in the roof structure
Large ceiling areas adjoining passageways
Openings without heads.
Careful planning at the design stage helps to
reduce maintenance issues and rectification works.
Wall framing
Wall construction also varies from state to state.
Some states prefer metal framing while others
prefer timber or a combination of both. Western
Australia and some areas of North Queensland are
Australia is a vast country with many variations in
temperature, rainfall and humidity. These climatic
differences contribute to a range of design and
building techniques being used across Australia.
The installation of plasterboard being one of the
more visible.
Regions with extended wet season and extreme
temperature fluctuations such as Darwin, are
particularly vulnerable, as both of these factors
have an impact on building maintenance issues.
In areas of unfavourable conditions, consideration
should be given to the use of expansion joints both
internally and externally. These should form part of
the normal installation procedure rather than being
used as an extra.

predominantly brick and/or
block. This introduces
another set of problems
particularly when adhering the
bottom edge of cornice to masonry.
All construction methods have their own special
requirements. Recognising some of these recurring
issues and planning for them can reduce
unwanted and costly callbacks.
The rules are simple:
Build to suit the climate in your area.
Exercise caution when using
designs from other states or worse still, other
countries.
Recognise the benefits of temperature control by
incorporationg ventilation, sisalation, insulation,
overhangs, soffits and light colour roofing
materials in your next project.
Reduce maintenance costs by
using the correct fasteners

With todays modern construction and truss roof directional changes, expansion joints are becoming a
necessary part of plasterboard installation. Plasterboard cannot withstand the stress associated with building
movement, especially with the direct fix method.
