You can have the BA13 plaster at $3 per m2 at the entry-level and $8 per m2 at the high end.

Plaster phonic

This Plasterboard is used to optimize the acoustic insulation of homes. It significantly reduces noise between rooms (fitting a partition) or between two floors (fitting a false ceiling).

This material will cost you $8 per m2 at the entry-level and $12 at the top.

The water-repellent plaster will cost you $5 per m2 at the entry-level and $8 per m2 at the high end.
