How the Brisbane painting quote tool works
- Upload a photo of the house — aerial, floor plan or a straight-on elevation shot.
- Set the scale by clicking a known feature (garage door, driveway width, car length) and entering its real measurement in metres.
- Outline paintable walls — either draw them yourself or use the AI auto-outline as a starting point.
- Choose paint, coats and prep — everything is editable, from paint price per litre to hourly labour rate.
- Download your quote as a branded PDF with GST, materials and labour itemised.

What a Brisbane painting quote should include
A professional Brisbane painting quote should always list:
- Scope of work (which surfaces, how many coats, prep included)
- Paint brand, product line and colour count
- Number of hours or square metres priced
- Materials and consumables
- Access requirements (scaffolding, EWP, ladders)
- GST shown separately
- Validity period and payment terms
- Licence and insurance details for anything over $3,300 in Queensland
paintquote.au produces PDFs that mirror this structure so you can compare apples to apples.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a painting quote in Brisbane?
Upload an aerial photo or set the scale from a known dimension, outline the paintable walls, and paintquote.au produces a GST-ready quote in AUD. You then have the option to send it to up to 3 local Brisbane painters for comparison quotes.
Are PaintQuote estimates free?
Yes — you get 3 free PaintQuote estimates every day. If you need a fourth on the same day it's $1 per estimate. Free daily quotas reset at midnight.
How accurate is a Brisbane painting quote from paintquote.au?
Once the scale is calibrated the paintable area is within a few percent. Total cost accuracy is typically ±10% depending on paint choice, access and surface condition. Any binding price still requires an onsite inspection.
Does the quote include GST?
Yes. All PaintQuote estimates are GST-ready and itemise 10% GST separately so the figure matches what a Brisbane painter would invoice.
