What we install
Systems for Docklands
The same six systems we apply across Melbourne, specified to the substrate and exposure we see in Docklands.
Acrylic Rendering
Pre-coloured, polymer-modified render that flexes with the building instead of fighting it.
02Sand & Cement Rendering
The traditional mix, built up in stages, keyed properly and floated dead flat.
03Texture Coating & Stucco
Rollcoat, sponge, fine sand and rough cast — matched off an existing wall so the join disappears.
04Render Repairs & Recoating
Drummy sections cut out, cracks raked and bridged, patches colour-matched — often a fraction of a full re-render.
05Heritage & Lime Render
Breathable lime coats for solid-brick period homes, where modern sealed render traps moisture and blows the masonry apart from inside.
06Hebel, Foam & Lightweight Cladding Render
Render systems specified for Hebel, polystyrene and lightweight cladding substrates — where the coating is part of the wall system, not a finish on top of it.
Why Invision
Local experience in Docklands
We have been rendering Melbourne facades for more than 20 years. That experience shows in the prep work — masking, keying, patching and curing — before the top coat goes on.
In Docklands, where modern high-rise apartments and low-rise commercial facades, we choose the system that matches the wall, not just the colour. Every job gets a site visit, a written itemised quote and a 10-year coating system warranty.
If you are in Docklands and want to refresh a facade, repair drummy render or match an existing texture on an extension, we can look at it and give you a clear quote.
Common questions
Rendering in Docklands
How much does rendering cost in Docklands?
Most Docklands facade jobs land between roughly $40 and $90 per square metre depending on the system, substrate condition and access. We price every job after a site visit — see our Melbourne rendering cost guide for the full breakdown.
Which render suits homes in Docklands?
In Docklands we mostly see modern high-rise apartments and low-rise commercial facades, so the choice usually comes down to acrylic for modern cavity walls and breathable lime for solid-brick period homes. We recommend the system after sounding the wall, not before.
Do you do render repairs in Docklands?
Yes. Drummy sections cut out, cracks bridged and the elevation recoated is a large part of our Docklands work, and it usually costs a fraction of a full re-render.
