ETICS façade prices per m² in Istria
The supplied Tecton price for an ETICS façade with EPS 10 cm and finish render is €60/m², excluding VAT. A project quote must still define the substrate condition, access and details around openings, the plinth and adjoining surfaces. Indicative prices excluding VAT; the final price is confirmed after a site inspection and preparation of an itemised bill of quantities.

What should an ETICS façade item describe?
An external thermal insulation composite system is more than an insulation-board thickness and a colour. The scope should identify the insulation, fixing and bonding arrangement, reinforced base layer, finishing coat and the details needed to connect the system to the building. The selection must suit the design and substrate. A quotation should say which operations and materials are included rather than relying on the word “complete”. This guide’s supplied rate refers to the named EPS thickness; it should not be presented as a universal price for every insulation material or thickness.
Why does substrate preparation matter to the price?
Before a new system is applied, the existing surface needs to be assessed for soundness, contamination, moisture and unevenness. Loose layers or unresolved water entry cannot be addressed responsibly by hiding them beneath a new façade. The offer should distinguish ordinary preparation from repairs that can only be defined after inspection. Where the substrate is uncertain, record how the finding will be reviewed and priced. A clean price comparison is possible only when each offer assumes the same existing condition and the same preparatory scope.
How is the façade area measured?
Ask for the measured elevations and the rule used for openings, reveals and other details. The apparent wall area on a plan may not match the quantity in an itemised quotation. Returns around windows, balconies, recessed areas and changes of material need their own treatment. The agreed measurement method should make it clear what the square-metre rate covers and whether any details are separate. This is more useful than comparing totals where one contractor has counted additional surfaces and another has left them outside the measured quantity.
What must happen around windows, sills and the plinth?
The insulation system needs coordinated junctions at windows, doors, sills, roof edges and the base of the wall. Existing sill projections or fixtures may require consideration before the new thickness is installed. At the plinth, the solution must connect appropriately with the building’s moisture protection and surrounding finished levels. Ask which details are included and which need a separate item. A façade can look visually complete while a junction remains poorly defined, so the quotation should describe these interfaces as construction work rather than decorative extras.
Does the quoted rate include scaffolding and all access?
The supplied EPS 10 cm ETICS rate is €60/m² before VAT. Confirm scaffolding, protection, ordinary preparation, plinth work and opening details in the actual quotation; their inclusion is not established merely by repeating the headline rate. Indicative prices excluding VAT; the final price is confirmed after a site inspection and preparation of an itemised bill of quantities.
Access needs to be assessed for the building’s shape, height and surrounding ground. Protecting windows, paving and occupied areas may also need a specific plan. If adjacent property or a narrow route affects access, clarify how that will be handled before work is programmed. The façade area alone cannot describe these practical conditions, and an offer should distinguish the chosen system from the arrangements required to install it safely and properly.
How do render and colour choices affect the specification?
The finishing coat should be compatible with the selected ETICS system, and the colour decision should be made with the applicable system guidance in mind. Texture, transitions between colours and the treatment of existing architectural features need to be specified. Do not assume that a different coating can be substituted without checking the full build-up. For an existing rendered façade, assess what is already present before deciding whether the work is cleaning, repainting, repair or a new insulated system. Those are different scopes and should not share an unexplained common rate.
How should façade work be coordinated with other trades?
External fixtures, downpipes, lighting points, railings and roof junctions should be reviewed before insulation and finishing. Agree which elements will be removed or repositioned and who carries out that work. The sequence matters because later drilling or changes can affect completed surfaces and connections. A handover record should identify the installed system and any outstanding work. Warranty arrangements, care and the process for reporting damage should be confirmed in the agreement rather than inferred from a generic description of ETICS.
What should be sent for a façade assessment?
Provide photographs of all elevations, approximate measurements and the building location. Include close views of the base, windows, roof edges and any damaged or damp areas. State whether the proposal is a new insulated façade, a repair or a finish-only intervention, and send the relevant drawings if available. Tecton offers ETICS façade work in Istria. A useful first assessment separates the proposed system, substrate preparation, access and construction details so the final offer can be checked against the actual building.
Which services, locations and projects should you explore?
What else should you clarify before starting?
Is the supplied price for every insulation thickness?
No. The named price item is EPS 10 cm with finishing render. Different insulation materials, thicknesses or system details require their own specification and quotation rather than an assumed adjustment.
Are window reveals part of the wall area?
The offer should state how reveals and openings are measured and priced. Different measurement rules can change the final quantity, so compare the written rules as well as the square-metre figure.
Can an existing façade simply be covered?
The substrate needs assessment before a new system is specified. Loose layers, moisture or damaged junctions may require preparation or repairs. A photograph can help start the discussion but does not confirm that the surface is suitable.
Is the plinth the same as the main façade?
The plinth has different junctions and exposure conditions from the general wall area. Its specification and connection to waterproofing and external levels need to be described explicitly, with a separate item where appropriate.
Can I select the final colour after installation starts?
Agree when the finish and colour decisions are needed. The selected system’s requirements and the arrangement of architectural details should be considered before ordering and application, especially where several finishes meet.
How do I request a façade quotation?
Send the location, photographs of each elevation and approximate measurements. Mention known damage, the intended insulation and access conditions. These details support a clearer discussion of system choice, preparation and the scope of the site inspection.
How can you request a free initial assessment?
Send the location, scope and approximate area. A detailed bill of quantities and final quotation depend on documents and a site review; the scope of that work is agreed separately.
