CPV 4541 – Plastering Works

What does CPV 4541 cover?

CPV 4541 covers all plastering and rendering works carried out on buildings. This includes the application of internal gypsum and lime plaster, external mineral and synthetic render systems, specialist acoustic plaster systems, drywall and partition wall construction using gypsum plasterboard (Trockenbau), as well as the restoration of historic lime plaster in listed buildings. Screeds (cement, calcium sulphate, flowing screed) are also frequently tendered within this CPV group.

In the context of public procurement, plastering works are a central finishing trade in every building project and are typically tendered as a standalone specialist lot. The sequence of plastering works is critical for the construction programme: internal plaster must be applied before floor coverings, and external render before facade insulation systems can be completed. The quality of plastering and screed works is fundamental to the performance of subsequent trades including floor coverings, painting and tiling.

Public contracting authorities include state building authorities, school building authorities, hospital companies and municipal facility management departments. Requirements for fire protection plasterboard systems, acoustic performance and – in historic buildings – conservation-compliant lime plaster restoration are increasingly demanding. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
