Specifying Venetian plaster for a commercial project is a different job to a single residential feature wall. There is a program to hit, other trades to coordinate around, a client or design brief to match exactly, and a finish that needs to perform in a working commercial environment for years, not just look good on handover day. Adora Designs is a commercial Venetian plaster installer and contractor working across Sydney, handling supply and application as one job for the builders, developers, architects, and interior designers who specify it.
One contractor, start to finish
Many Venetian plaster suppliers stop at the material and leave application to a separate contractor. That works fine on paper, until the contractor applying it has never handled Venetian plaster before, and the finish that reaches site is not the finish that was signed off in the sample. Adora Designs works as your installer and contractor for the full scope, so the specification, the sample, and the final result all come from the same team.
For builders and developers, that means one point of contact for the entire job, rather than managing a separate material supplier and applicator against the same program.
Who we work with
Builders and construction teams: Venetian plaster scheduled into a broader commercial fitout, coordinated around your program and other trades on site.
Developers: Consistent, premium finishes across multiple units, floors, or sites, with the same standard delivered every time.
Architects and interior designers: Custom samples and finish development to match a specific design brief, from concept through to a finished wall that matches the render.
Facility and property managers: Refurbishment and maintenance work on existing Venetian plaster, or new specification for a tenancy upgrade, scheduled around a live, occupied building.
What commercial clients ask us most
Can you work around a live building or occupied tenancy? Yes. Commercial Venetian plaster work is often scheduled outside business hours, in staged sections, or around other trades finishing a fitout at the same time. We plan installation around your building’s operating hours and existing program, not the other way around.
Can you match an existing Venetian plaster finish for a partial refurbishment? Yes. Whether you are extending an existing fitout, patching a section after damage, or bringing a new floor into line with existing finishes elsewhere in the building, we produce a sample against the existing surface before starting work, so the match is confirmed before we touch the wall.
Do you provide documentation for specification and sign-off? Yes. For architects, developers, and builders who need finish schedules, samples, and specifications formalised before work is approved, we provide the documentation required to get a project signed off.
Can you handle multi-site or multi-unit projects? Yes. For developers and businesses rolling out the same finish across multiple units, floors, or locations, we deliver a consistent standard across every site, with the same team and the same quality control on each one.
Do you offer trade pricing or ongoing accounts for repeat commercial work? For builders, developers, and design firms with recurring Venetian plaster requirements, get in touch directly to discuss an ongoing working arrangement.
Do you offer limewash as a cheaper alternative to Venetian plaster We don’t offer limewash as a standalone service. While it’s a lower-cost option upfront, limewash is a thin, single-layer finish that doesn’t have the depth, durability, or longevity of Venetian plaster. It marks more easily, wears faster in high-traffic areas, and typically needs recoating well before a properly sealed Venetian plaster finish would. For commercial environments especially, where a finish needs to hold up to daily use over years rather than just look good on handover day, we recommend Venetian plaster as the better long-term investment. If budget is the main constraint, talk to us. We can scope a Venetian plaster finish to suit different budgets and areas rather than compromising on a finish that won’t last.
How commercial projects work with Adora Designs
- Consultation and brief. Send through drawings, finish schedules, or a design brief, along with your program and any constraints around site access. We talk through colour, finish, and scope.
- Site assessment and surface preparation planning. We review the existing surface, access, and any coordination required with other trades, and confirm what preparation and priming the space will need before application begins.
- Sample and sign-off. A custom sample is produced against your brief for approval before any material orders or installation dates are locked in.
- Multi-layer hand application. Our team applies Venetian plaster in multiple thin, hand-trowelled layers, the same process that gives the finish its depth and light-reflecting quality on any project, residential or commercial.
- Custom texturing, polishing, and protective sealing. Each wall is finished and sealed to the agreed specification, so the result holds up to daily commercial use with minimal maintenance.
- Scheduled installation and handover. Work is carried out to the agreed program, with the same precision applied whether it is a single feature wall or a full-floor fitout.
