The price of plastering varies according to the region, hiring model, and conditions of the work, but the average cited by Elias Gomes shows that values between R$ 25 and R$ 30 per meter need to be analyzed along with costs for assistant, transport, food, work pace, and finishing.
R$ 30 per meter of plastering may seem like a high income, but the value changes according to the region, type of hiring, and the costs the mason assumes, such as assistant, transport, and food.
Elias Gomes, from the channel No dia a dia, reports that in the region where he works, the average plastering cost is between R$ 25 and R$ 30 per meter. He highlights that the price should not be evaluated only by the measurement and the charged value.
Plastering requires calculation beyond the value per meter
A self-employed mason who does 30 meters of plastering at R$ 30 can reach R$ 900 in a day. However, this number does not represent full profit. From this total, expenses include personal daily rate, assistant, gasoline, and food.

Another point mentioned is irregularity. The professional may produce 30 meters and then have no new demand for three days. Therefore, the price per meter needs to consider periods without work.
Corners, boxes, and frames are included in the count
In the reported practice, the meter of plastering includes stages that consume time, such as corners, edges, frames, reveals, beads, and boxes for sockets, distribution, or antenna. These details are included in the measurement.
This condition explains why a high value may not be sufficient. The more cutouts there are, the longer it tends to take to deliver the same contracted measurement.
Working in a company changes the comparison
Elias mentions cases where he received R$ 18 per meter of finished plastering in a company. The difference is that the assistant was provided by the contractor, and the plaster was already available at the start.
In larger projects, with buildings of 14 or 15 floors, the organization of production influences the yield. In self-employment, Elias states that R$ 30 per meter is the current average, although he has managed to get R$ 40 for internal plastering.
