Plaster and Painting Job Kit: a free AI prompt to start

This kit walks you from a blank page to a fully scoped, specified, budgeted, scheduled, quality-controlled, and handed-over plaster and painting job with named artefacts at each step. It helps you brief trades, control costs, avoid rework, and deliver a clean, durable finish.

Step 1, free.

Copy this, paste it into your AI, and swap the [BRACKETS] for your own details.

Setup & Context Capture: Build the job profile

Provide: [PROPERTY ADDRESS], [HOME TYPE], [ROOMS/AREAS IN SCOPE], [OCCUPANCY DURING WORK], [TARGET START/FINISH DATES], [FINISH LEVEL EXPECTED (e.g., L4 walls/L5 ceilings, sheen levels)], [SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (heritage, pets, allergies, kids, noise)], [PHOTO LINKS], [CONTACT DETAILS], [BUDGET RANGE IF ANY].
Act as the client-side coordinator and define a complete Job Profile Brief for a plaster and painting job in a New Zealand home.
Work through it like this:
1) Frame the objective: what a “done, to standard” finish looks like room-by-room, including durability and touch-up tolerance.
2) Lock the boundaries: areas in scope/out of scope, occupancy plan, working hours, access, and protection of furnishings.
3) Capture constraints and site realities affecting methods (ventilation, heating, weather exposure, height/access, pets/kids).
4) Record assumptions and unknowns that will need verification on site.
5) Define success criteria: visual acceptance standards (glancing light expectations), cleanliness, and handover artefacts required.
Give me the output as: a Job Profile Brief with these sections: A) Overview; B) Areas in Scope table (Columns: Room/Area, Surfaces, Finish Level Target, Colour/Sheen Intent, Notes); C) Access & Occupancy; D) Constraints; E) Assumptions & Unknowns; F) Success Criteria; G) Contacts & Comms.
Quality bar: Clear, measurable targets suitable for briefing multiple trades without ambiguity, using NZ-typical finish language (e.g., L4/L5, low-sheen ceilings, washable wall finish).
If information is missing or unclear, ask one focused question; if still unavailable, mark MISSING and proceed with explicit assumptions.
