Measure Guide
The Measurement System
This measure guide is needed to compensate for the extra time spended on applying odd sized / formed surfaces and difficult working areas:
- The size of a wall is calculated by measuring the base by the height. This includes the baseboards as well as moldings found near the top of the wall which are less than 10 cm in height.
- All of the surface sizes less than 50 cm should be calculated as 100 cm.
- All of the ‘empty’ surfaces, such as windows or doors, with a surface of less than 4 sq. mt. are calculated as plastered walls and therefore, should be measure in full.
- Columns are calculated by measuring their actual surface area and multiplying by 1.5.
- The size of ceilings should be multiplied by 1.2.
Practical & economical details to observe
- The application of strong colors costs 10% more.
- The customer is responsible for mounting the scaffolding.
- The customer must also pay for the transportation of materials, tools and personnel both to and from Italy, the cost of food and lodging of Stucco Italiano personnel, as well as the cost of transportation of personnel from the lodgings to the work site.
- The customer must pay for all expenses involved in any on-site inspections, and the production and transport of any requested samples.
- The customer must also pay for the time workers must be kept waiting because of work site problems (e.g. lack of scaffolding, plasters and foundation walls unfinished or damp, etc.).
- Stucco Italiano will pay for the cost of applying the plaster and of supplying the material, but not for the transportation of the material.
