My brother is a renderer and will charge up to 50/mtr for a difficult or intricate designed house. This may be reduced if you have a simple house, with little surface prep required and no hire of scaffolding is reqd. In this case, it would be around the 35/mtr. I would suggest that be careful buying your own materials as you wont be getting trade price (even if they say it is) as the real tradesman will be buying crate loads per week as opposed to a one off! Oh and I have seen a number of houses rendered by the owners and they are terrible. There is a reason why these guys are tradesman, its not as easy as it looks!
Let me know if you have any further questions

If you are in SE QLD he would probably do it for you anyway.Hi,
Yes, usually you would do a basic analysis on the current preferred uses defined by council suitable for that particular piece of land, and decide from there. This would normally be done during the contract period.
Yes it costs money to lodge your application with BCC (phone them for the fees) and a planner would normally charge, for a simple planning report between 2 and 5K to administer the application process.
If the use proposed is inconsistent with the planning area precinct ie. its zoned low density residential and you are trying to gain approval for a multiple-dwelling, then you will need to follow an impact assessment application to BCC which will often take up to be in the order of 9+months. If the use is consistent with the planning area, you could expect council approval within 3months. Please remember that building approvals are a separate issue, as well as operational works approvals etc etc.
If you need some development assistance in this regard I would be happy to look at the block of land and its suitability for development.
