Steps
Calculate total wall area to be plastered, net of openings, separately for each coat (scratch, brown, finish)
Look up the manufacturer's published coverage rate (square feet per bag at a stated thickness) for the specific bagged product being used
Adjust the coverage rate for the actual application thickness planned if it differs from the manufacturer's reference thickness
Add a waste factor for mixing losses, overspray (if machine-applied), and texture variation
Cross-check the material estimate against the crew's planned coats and total project square footage before finalizing the bid quantity
Known gotchas
Published coverage rates assume a specific thickness; applying at a thicker-than-reference dimension (common for base coats over deep lath) will use significantly more material than the bag's headline coverage figure
Coverage figures differ by product line and even by bag formulation from the same manufacturer — use the specific product's data sheet, not a generic industry rule of thumb
