I hope this is the right subforum; if not, please move it.
During a conversation yesterday with my potential plasterer, he advised against using brushed plaster, as it tends to get dirty very quickly.
I should mention that I live in a very quiet area (few cars) with not many trees nearby.
The plaster color will be a gray/ochre shade, so not a dirt-prone white.
Now I have an offer, and he wants an additional charge of €11.36 (+ VAT) per m² (square meter) for the brushed plaster.
This seems quite high to me.
Can anyone estimate if this is realistic or just a price meant to discourage me?

ROFL Those aren’t stones at all! They are modeled into the plaster. :p
But of course, that’s probably even more expensive... This is what the house looks like completely. No stones – plaster.

WilderSueden9 Nov 2023 19:03Basically, this is nothing more than facing bricks, which can also be glued onto an external wall insulation system (EWIS). However, I wasn’t necessarily referring to the ready-made mats from the hardware store; these cladding bricks are also available loose and in irregular shapes. It just requires significantly more work.

Which type of plaster is included in the additional cost?
Probably standard scratch plaster? Then the price is fair, as the application requires significantly more effort.
And consider how you imagine the broom finish—there are huge variations in its appearance!
I also think that in combination with the wood, it might be too much. I really like both the broom finish look and the wood accents; you see them more and more often in our region. But I haven’t actually seen them combined yet.
Maybe because the overall effect becomes too busy? Thank you for your input.
You might be right that it could become too busy.
My hope was that this way, any potential dents would be less noticeable compared to smooth plaster.
But yes, I will reconsider it.
First, I need to figure out how to install the rhombus boarding.
I was hoping that the plasterer could also handle the substructure here, but unfortunately, that’s not the case.
@Tolentino @WilderSueden: could you please stay on topic? Thank you
