Plasterboard Installation Price Guide in Nice, French Riviera (2026)

Plasterboard pricing in Nice depends mainly on board type (standard, moisture-resistant, acoustic or fire-rated), wall or ceiling height, and site access in older Riviera buildings with narrow stairwells or lifts. Labor rates run slightly above the French national average due to high demand and living costs along the coast. Finishing quality (joints, corners, skim coat) also significantly affects the final price per square meter.

FAQ

Standard partition walls typically range from 45 to 70 EUR per m² including supply and installation, while ceilings and specialty boards cost more depending on type and finish.

No, jointing and taping are usually priced separately at 8 to 15 EUR per m², and painting is quoted as an additional service.

Labor costs, limited parking and access in dense older buildings, and strong demand for renovation work along the French Riviera push rates above the national average.
