Its economical if you pay the painter piecewise labour and procure the material yourself of your choice. I did so for my building, This painter did a good job and very reasonable after comparing lot of quotes. The attitude is very good , he does work without countering my opinion.

Labour quote
Interior walls : 2 Coats Putty + 1 coat finishing putty+ Primer + 2 Coats of Paint (of your choice except Royale Play ) : Psft : 15 Rs.
Exterior Walls : Primer + 2 Coats of Paint of your choice : Psft 12
Repainting : 1 coat of paint : Psft 5
Enamel for Grills , Painting Wood doors and windows : Psft 7

hi divya,

The quotation looks fine for complete material contract for the sqft you have mentioned.But check the type of paint they r using. If they r using just the basic one, then in my opinion you can negotiate for better material.Also check his previous work and get feedbck from the owners.We completed painting with labour contract for a similar size house.Exterior was apex and interior 1floor royal with pattern walls,stencild and the remaining 2 floors tractor.Then the other grill paint,door and window paint.Totally it came around 2.25Lakhs including labour.This is just for your reference.

Regards,
Priya.

Dear All

Better beware of these rogue painters from Bihar/ UP. They cheat without mercy and use spurious materials sourced from City Market. I have been a victim of this. Better source materials from a big dealer without intimating them where you bought the materials from. This will effectively prevent additional commission being padded onto your cost.

hi sahu,

if its just labour, then its high as per my opinion. I had given my building, exactly same as yours, 30×40, GF 1bhk, FF,SF and Terrace floor room on labour for 1 lakh lumpsum.It included all that you have mentioned, except for the Teak door polishing.

Regards,
Priya Balaji.
