Shopfront and Retail Painting Costs in QLD for 2026

Shopfront and retail painting forms a distinctive sub-segment of the Queensland painting trade because retail work operates under specific operational constraints that distinguish it from broader commercial painting. Trading hours dominate scheduling decisions because daytime work would substantially disrupt customer experience and tenant revenue. Brand identity standards drive colour and finish selection beyond the more general commercial palette. Lease conditions determine who pays for what across landlord and tenant boundaries. Centre management oversight applies to most major shopping centre work. Pricing for typical scope in 2026 reflects the substantial premium that these operational constraints impose over standard commercial painting rates, with single shopfront refresh at $1,500 to $5,500, full retail fitout work at $4,500 to $18,000 for 50 to 150 square metre stores, and large retail and big-box work at $12,000 to $55,000 for 150 to 500 square metres.

The Queensland retail sector spans substantial diversity from regional shopping centres housing major national retailers through neighbourhood shopping strips with independent retailers to the substantial flagship stores in Brisbane CBD and major regional centres. Each segment has distinct painting work patterns shaped by retailer scale, brand standards, and centre management arrangements. Major shopping centres operate continuous fitout cycles where individual tenancies turn over on rolling schedules; retail painting contractors familiar with the centre operating environment and with established centre management relationships typically capture substantial work volume across multiple tenancies. Independent strip shopping has more diverse painting needs with both individual shopfront work and tenant-driven internal repaints supporting specialist retail painters working across a portfolio of small clients.

Retail painting contractors typically operate within established relationships with both retail tenants and centre management because the substantial after-hours work, security clearance requirements, and centre access protocols favour contractors known to the centre management team. New retail painters entering an established centre commonly face substantial onboarding overhead before they can effectively bid work, including security induction, centre orientation, after-hours access protocol training, and reference checks with centre management. The substantial relationship infrastructure supports both retail tenants seeking reliable painting and centre managers maintaining quality standards across the centre operation.

This guide is the dedicated shopfront and retail painting page within our Queensland painting cluster, which sits under the top-level painting services hub. Closely related specialist pages include commercial painting for the broader commercial sector that overlaps with retail work, strata and body corporate painting for multi-residential work that operates with similar formal procurement, spray painting for high-volume application techniques used on substantial retail fitout work, and wallpaper removal and installation for wallcovering work common in premium retail and hospitality fitouts. Coordinating retail painting with broader fitout work through related trades produces more efficient outcomes than treating each as separate engagements.

Brand Colour Matching and Corporate Identity Standards

Brand colour matching for retail painting represents one of the most distinctive technical requirements distinguishing retail work from broader commercial painting. Major retail brands maintain detailed corporate identity standards specifying exact colours, finishes, and application standards across their property portfolio. The colour specifications typically reference specific Pantone colour codes, AS 2700 (Colour Standards for general purposes) reference colours, or proprietary brand colour codes that paint suppliers can match through tinting systems. Major paint suppliers including Dulux Trade, Wattyl Trade, Taubmans, Haymes, and Resene maintain established relationships with major retail brands enabling efficient brand colour matching. Interior scope is priced separately at interior painting costs.

Tolerance for brand colour matching in retail painting is substantially tighter than for general commercial work because of brand identity importance. Variations between adjacent walls, between different stores, or between a refurbished store and surrounding new construction produce visible inconsistency that affects brand perception. Quality retail painters maintain documented colour matching procedures including reference panel preparation, sample inspection by brand or centre management before substantial application, and quality assurance documentation supporting any subsequent maintenance work. The substantial colour matching overhead is built into retail painting pricing rather than charged separately.

Premium retail brands and flagship stores commonly specify architectural-grade finishes beyond standard commercial paint quality including washable scrubbable finishes for high-traffic areas, low-sheen finishes that minimise visible defects under retail lighting, and specific texture specifications producing particular tactile or visual character. Premium retail finishes commonly use products including Dulux Wash & Wear, Dulux Aquanamel, Wattyl Estapol, Taubmans 3 in 1, Haymes Solver, Resene Lumbersider, and similar premium-grade products. Per square metre application costs for premium retail finishes typically run $40 to $80 versus $25 to $50 for standard commercial finishes, reflecting both product cost and application care required.

Australian Standard colour specifications under AS 2700 (Colour standards for general purposes) provide a reference colour vocabulary commonly used in retail and commercial specifications. Brand specifications sometimes reference AS 2700 colour codes for basic colour communication, with brand-specific tinting then applied to achieve exact match. AS 2700 includes 184 standard colours covering the practical range of architectural and commercial applications. Quality retail painters maintain familiarity with AS 2700 references and typical brand specification patterns rather than treating each brand specification as a unique problem to solve. The Standards Australia website provides public access to AS 2700 and related colour standards.

Lease Conditions and Painting Responsibility

Lease conditions on retail tenancies determine the substantial question of who is responsible for shopfront painting, common-area painting, and tenancy interior painting. The default position under most retail leases varies substantially depending on the lease structure. Net leases (where the tenant pays most operating expenses) typically allocate substantial painting responsibility to the tenant including tenancy interior, shopfront fascia, and roller shutter respray. Gross leases (where the landlord pays most operating expenses) typically allocate exterior shopfront painting to the landlord while leaving tenancy interior to the tenant. Standard retail leases under the Queensland Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 commonly allocate specific painting responsibilities based on the area type.

Shopfront fascia painting (the visible facade above and around the shopfront entry) is commonly landlord responsibility on shopping centre tenancies because the fascia forms part of the centre's overall presentation rather than the tenant's tenancy. Centre managers commonly coordinate shopfront fascia painting on rolling cycles across the centre, with individual tenant fascia work happening during tenant turnover or major refurbishment. Strip shopping with separate landlords for each tenancy commonly allocates shopfront fascia to the tenant or landlord depending on the specific lease, with substantial variation across leases that retail painters need to clarify on each project.

Tenant fitout painting (the interior tenancy walls, ceilings, and feature elements) is essentially universally tenant responsibility under standard retail leases. New tenant fitouts at lease commencement involve substantial painting work integrated with broader fitout activity. Substantial mid-lease fitout refurbishments by established tenants similarly involve tenant-paid painting work. Tenant exit conditions at lease end commonly require make-good painting to return the tenancy to its original condition, with specific make-good obligations defined in the lease and dispute commonly arising at lease end about the appropriate make-good standard.

Make-good painting at lease end is one of the most common sources of retail painting work and one of the most disputed elements of retail leasing. Lease make-good provisions typically require the tenant to return the tenancy to a specified standard, commonly described as "good and substantial repair" or similar standards open to interpretation. Tenants typically prefer minimal make-good obligations, while landlords typically prefer comprehensive make-good supporting fast re-letting. The Queensland Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 administered by the Department of Justice provides specific protections for retail tenants including limits on certain make-good obligations and dispute resolution mechanisms through the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Sign Writer Coordination

Sign writer coordination on shopfront painting projects represents specific operational complexity because painting and signage work commonly need to happen in sequence with substantial coordination between trades. Typical coordination patterns involve painting completed first to provide clean surfaces for signage application, sign writers completing visible signage with appropriate cure time built in for both paint and signage adhesives, and final touch-up painting addressing any minor surface impacts from signage installation. Quality retail painting projects typically coordinate with sign writers during the quote stage rather than treating signage as an unrelated separate trade.

Material compatibility between paints and signage substrates affects what signage approaches work effectively over freshly painted surfaces. Vinyl signage adhesives require specific paint surface conditions including full cure (typically 14 to 28 days for water-based paints, longer for oil-based), surface free from contamination, and specific paint product compatibility documented by the signage adhesive manufacturer. Some premium paints have surfactant or additive packages that affect signage adhesion if installed too soon after painting. Quality retail painters coordinate with sign writers about specific products being used and timing requirements for safe signage installation.

Combined painting and signage projects sometimes operate under single-contractor arrangements where the same operator provides both services or under formal sub-contracting arrangements where one trade engages the other. Single-contractor arrangements simplify coordination but may produce uneven quality across the two distinct skill sets. Sub-contracting arrangements maintain specialist expertise on each trade but require more substantial coordination overhead. Centre management commonly prefers single-point-of-contact for combined paint and signage work to simplify their oversight and approval processes.

Existing signage removal during painting work requires specific care to avoid substrate damage that affects paint application. Vinyl signage that has been in place for years commonly produces residue and substrate stress during removal that needs substantial preparation before painting. Built-up signage with mounting hardware produces holes, brackets, and other anchor points that need filling and substantial preparation. Sign writers and painters working together on substantial refurbishment projects typically address removal work as a coordinated initial phase rather than the painter inheriting the consequences of poor signage removal. Coordinating retail painting and broader fitout work through related render and texture coating services where exterior shopfront elements need substantial substrate work produces better integrated outcomes.

Shopping Centre Management Approval

Shopping centre management approval requirements affect substantial aspects of retail painting work because most major shopping centre operators maintain detailed contractor approval and access protocols. New retail painting contractors typically need to complete centre management onboarding before they can bid work in the centre, including induction documentation, insurance verification, security clearance, after-hours access protocol training, and sometimes specific centre management training programs. The onboarding overhead favours established retail painters with existing centre relationships and creates substantial barriers to entry for new market participants.

Insurance requirements for shopping centre work typically substantially exceed standard commercial standards. Public liability insurance minimum is typically $20 million on shopping centre work versus $5 million standard residential, with major centres sometimes requiring $50 million or more reflecting the substantial public exposure during trading hours and the substantial property value within the centre. Some major retail centres also require specific contract works insurance, professional indemnity insurance for any work involving design or specification advice, and substantial workers compensation insurance with documented compliance.

After-hours access protocols at shopping centres typically include specific procedures for entry and exit, security identification requirements during the work, restrictions on access to non-work areas, and specific procedures for handling any incidents during the work. Some centres require permanent on-site security during after-hours contractor work; others use roving security checks. Centre management commonly issues specific work permits documenting approved scope, timing, contractor identification, and emergency contact information, with these permits required to be visible during the work.

Quality and inspection processes during shopping centre painting work typically involve centre management oversight at multiple project stages. Initial scope approval ensures the proposed work fits centre presentation standards. Substrate preparation inspection commonly precedes paint application to confirm conditions are appropriate. Sample colour and finish inspection on substantial projects allows centre management to confirm specifications match expectations before extensive application. Final inspection at project completion confirms work quality before centre management releases payment and acceptance documentation. Inspection overhead is priced in rather than charged separately. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission oversees Australian Consumer Law guarantees applicable to retail painting work including guarantees of due care and skill.

After-Hours Scheduling Around Retail Trading

After-hours scheduling around retail trading hours is essentially universal on shopfront and retail painting work because trading-hour work would substantially disrupt the substantial revenue generation that retail trading represents. Standard retail trading hours from approximately 9am to 9pm in major centres (with extended hours on Thursday late nights and weekend trading varying by centre) leave overnight windows from approximately 9pm to 6am for painting work. The substantial after-hours scheduling produces 30 to 50 percent overall premium versus standard daytime work because contractors pay penalty rates and absorb productivity losses inherent in overnight work. Exterior facade work sits at exterior painting costs.

Penalty rates under the Fair Work Ombudsman framework apply substantially to retail painting work. Evening work from approximately 6pm to midnight typically attracts 25 to 50 percent penalty over standard daytime rates. Overnight work from midnight to 6am typically attracts 100 to 150 percent penalty. Sunday and public holiday work attracts 100 to 150 percent penalty. The substantial penalty rates compound with productivity losses to produce the overall after-hours premium. Quality retail painters maintain detailed rate cards and can quote different scheduling scenarios accurately rather than absorbing scheduling risk on fixed-price quotes.

Productivity considerations during overnight retail work include the more careful work practices required to avoid disturbing other tenancies in shared common areas, the substantial setup and pack-down time at each evening session compared to extended daytime work, the limited supervision available outside business hours, and the substantial fatigue management requirements for sustained overnight work programs. Quality retail painters maintain experienced overnight crews with appropriate work patterns rather than rotating daytime crews into overnight work without adjustment. The Fair Work Ombudsman website provides public information on overnight work conditions and penalty rates.

Centre operating hours variations affect available work windows substantially. 24-hour supermarkets and some food court operations continue through the night, eliminating the standard overnight work window for painting in those areas. Cinema-anchored centres commonly operate to midnight or later on weekends. Hotels, gyms, and medical facilities within retail centres commonly operate extended hours that affect painting access. Centre management commonly maintains detailed operating hours documentation to support contractor scheduling, with painting work programmed around the specific hours of each affected tenancy and common area. Coordinating retail painting with related non-slip floor coating services where retail floors need slip-resistance work commonly produces more efficient overall use of the limited overnight work windows.

QBCC Licensing for Retail Painting

The QBCC Painter and Decorator licence applies to shopfront and retail painting work in Queensland valued at $3,300 or more (including GST). Single shopfront refresh at the lower end of pricing commonly falls below the threshold; full retail fitout work and substantial centre common-area work commonly exceed it. Property owners, retail tenants, and centre management can verify any contractor's QBCC licence status, financial category, and disciplinary history free of charge through the Queensland Building and Construction Commission online register before engaging the contractor. Centre management commonly requires QBCC licence verification as part of standard contractor onboarding documentation.

QBCC financial category requirements affect which contractors can take on substantial retail work. Substantial centre common-area painting projects in the $100,000 to $500,000 range require contractors with financial categories supporting that contract value. Smaller residential-focused contractors typically operate under lower financial categories that limit their ability to bid larger retail work. Centre management commonly verifies financial category alignment with project value at pre-qualification stage to avoid wasting effort on contractors who cannot complete the procurement. Single shopfront refresh below the QBCC threshold can still benefit from contractor verification including public liability insurance and references.

The QBCC Home Warranty Scheme that applies to residential work above the licensable threshold does not apply to retail commercial work. Retail work uses different consumer protection mechanisms including the contract terms negotiated between the parties, professional indemnity insurance where applicable, and the substantial public liability insurance that retail centre work requires. Consumer protection on retail painting falls under general commercial law and the Australian Consumer Law. The Queensland Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 provides specific consumer protections for retail tenants in their dealings with landlords including some provisions affecting painting and make-good obligations.

Insurance requirements on retail painting work substantially exceed residential standards on any work affecting shopping centres, public retail spaces, or substantial tenancies. Centre managers typically require cover of $20 million on shopping centre work versus $5 million standard residential, with major centres requiring $50 million or more. Workers compensation insurance is mandatory for all employed crew including any subcontractors. The substantial insurance overhead contributes meaningfully to retail painting pricing premium over residential rates, with retail painting contractors maintaining specialist insurance brokers and dedicated risk management capacity. The Workplace Health and Safety Queensland website provides public guidance on workplace safety and contractor insurance obligations relevant to retail work.

Fitout Cycle Coordination

Retail fitout cycles drive substantial painting work because retailers commonly refresh their tenancies on rolling cycles ranging from 3 to 7 years depending on brand standards, format, and tenancy condition. Major fitout cycles involve substantial painting work integrated with new flooring, fixtures, lighting, and merchandising elements. Mid-cycle minor refurbishments commonly include targeted painting refresh on key visible elements like feature walls, ceiling areas affected by lighting changes, and any surfaces showing wear. New fitouts at lease commencement involve comprehensive painting work to establish the brand-appropriate finish across the entire tenancy.

Coordination with broader fitout trades requires specific scheduling expertise. Painting commonly occurs after framing, electrical, and ceiling work but before finish flooring, fixtures, and merchandising. Premature painting before structural work completes produces substantial damage to fresh paint requiring rework. Late painting after fixtures install creates substantial protection overhead and visible defects from working around installed elements. Quality retail painters maintain established relationships with shop fitting contractors enabling efficient coordination across substantial fitout programs. Major retail brands rolling out new store concepts across multiple locations typically maintain established painting contractor relationships supporting consistent quality across the rollout.

Brand rollout programs by major retailers represent substantial recurring painting work for established retail painting contractors. National retailers refreshing their store presentation across hundreds of locations typically engage established retail painting contractors with multi-state capability, with Queensland portfolios commonly serving 20 to 100 stores under coordinated programs. Brand rollout work typically involves consistent specifications, established procurement processes, and rolling scheduling across the portfolio supporting efficient operation. Specialist retail painters with brand rollout experience typically command premium rates reflecting both their specific capabilities and the substantial reliability that established programs require.

Pop-up retail and short-term tenancies common in shopping centres and some major commercial precincts produce specific painting patterns. Pop-up tenancies typically involve simpler painting scope than full retail fitout because the temporary nature limits the substantial investment that permanent fitout justifies. End-of-pop-up make-good painting returns the tenancy to neutral condition for the next occupant. Coordinating pop-up retail work through related pre-sale and bond painting services and broader presentation work produces efficient turnover between tenants. The substantial scheduling pressure on pop-up turnover typically produces express scheduling premiums similar to bond painting timelines.

Greater Brisbane and SE QLD Pricing

Greater Brisbane shopfront and retail painting pricing reflects the substantial retail sector across the region including the Brisbane CBD retail precincts (Queen Street Mall, Eagle Street Pier, the substantial CBD office tower retail), the substantial regional shopping centres (Westfield Chermside, Westfield Garden City, Westfield Carindale, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, Brookside, Toombul, Mount Ommaney, and others), neighbourhood shopping strips throughout middle ring suburbs, and big-box retail precincts in outer Brisbane. CBD retail painting commonly involves substantial premium specifications because of the substantial brand investment and visible heritage building considerations on character commercial streets.

Major regional shopping centres in Brisbane support substantial ongoing retail painting work across their portfolio of tenancies, with established retail painting contractors maintaining centre relationships supporting steady work flow. The substantial Westfield centres alone contain hundreds of tenancies on rolling fitout cycles producing consistent retail painting demand. Independent regional centres including Westfield-equivalent operations and substantial regional centres produce similar work patterns. Shopping centre common-area painting projects regularly run $50,000 to $500,000 across major centres reflecting the substantial wall area in mall corridors, food courts, and amenity spaces.

The Gold Coast retail painting market is substantial reflecting the substantial tourism-driven retail sector along the coastal corridor from Coolangatta through Surfers Paradise to Southport, plus the substantial regional shopping centres including Pacific Fair, Robina Town Centre, and Australia Fair. Tourism-focused retail in the Gold Coast operates with specific scheduling patterns aligned with peak tourist seasons, with major refurbishment commonly programmed during shoulder seasons. Coastal exposure considerations affect exterior shopfront elements with substantial salt atmosphere and UV exposure shortening coating life. The Sunshine Coast retail painting market follows similar patterns with smaller centre sizes and similar tourism-driven scheduling considerations.

Strip shopping precincts across SE Queensland support substantial small-scale retail painting work serving independent retailers and small chain stores. Painting work in this segment commonly involves simpler procurement than major shopping centre work, with direct tenant or landlord engagement rather than centre management oversight. Pricing typically runs at standard commercial rates without the substantial centre overhead. Quality retail painters serving the strip shopping market typically maintain a substantial portfolio of small clients with rolling work patterns rather than depending on the substantial centre relationships that major shopping centre work requires.

Regional Queensland Retail Painting Pricing

Toowoomba and the Darling Downs region produce substantial retail painting demand because of the regional retail centres including Grand Central Toowoomba, Highfields Village, and substantial strip shopping across Toowoomba's retail precincts. Whole-shopfront retail painting in Toowoomba typically runs $3,000 to $12,000 for full retail fitout reflecting both the more modest property scale and the strong contractor supply in the regional market. The temperate climate produces less aggressive coating degradation than coastal Queensland, allowing slightly extended repaint cycles. Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, and the Wide Bay region similarly support substantial retail painting work serving regional centres and tourism-related retail.

Tropical North Queensland retail painting in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, and Rockhampton operates within substantial regional retail sectors with specific climate considerations affecting both work timing and product specifications. Tourism-driven retail in Cairns supports substantial shopfront work serving the substantial visitor accommodation and adjacent retail sectors. Cyclone-region retail painting requires coatings rated for the substantial wind, debris, and salt exposure during cyclonic events; pre-cyclone-season maintenance painting before the November to April window protects retail assets and supports faster post-cyclone recovery. Wet season scheduling disruption (December through April) affects substantial exterior retail painting work.

Mining-influenced regional centres in Mount Isa, Gladstone, Emerald, and the Bowen Basin towns support specific retail painting market dynamics tied to mining sector activity. Strong mining cycles drive substantial retail trade and substantial fitout activity supporting consistent retail painting demand. Softer mining cycles see retail trade contraction with corresponding reduction in fitout activity. Rural and remote retail painting work involves additional considerations including substantial contractor mobilisation costs, accommodation for multi-week projects, and specialist equipment delivery to remote locations. Tradies looking for work in this trade can find current job leads through our painter jobs and subcontractor jobs pages and the Queensland tradie job leads board.

Specialty retail formats produce specific painting work patterns distinct from mainstream retail tenancy work. Hospitality retail including restaurants, cafes, bars, and food court tenants commonly use Type II or Type III commercial vinyl wallpaper specifications meeting AS 1530.3 fire ratings appropriate to commercial public space occupancy; the substantial fitout investment in hospitality retail commonly includes premium architectural finishes substantially exceeding standard retail painting specifications. Automotive retail including car showrooms, tyre stores, and service centres commonly involves substantial floor coating work alongside wall painting; the substantial floor traffic and vehicle exposure drives premium specifications including epoxy coatings and slip-resistant systems through non-slip floor coating services. Service retail including hairdressers, nail salons, beauty therapy, and similar services commonly operates with substantial humidity exposure and chemical exposure requiring specific paint specifications resistant to ongoing chemical cleanability and substantial wear. Coordinating retail painting with broader specialty fitout work through related render and texture coating services where substrate work is needed and plastering and gyprock repairs where wall damage requires repair before painting produces better integrated outcomes than treating each as separate engagements.

What to Look For in Retail Painting Quotes

A detailed quote process is essential for any meaningful shopfront or retail painting project in Queensland because the substantial operational complexity of retail work makes poor contractor selection particularly costly. The quote process should begin with a comprehensive site visit by the contractor, with the contractor accessing all relevant areas to assess scope, identify access constraints affecting after-hours work, evaluate substrate condition, confirm brand specifications match the actual surfaces, and discuss centre management coordination requirements. Quality retail quotes typically require 1 to 3 hours of contractor site time depending on project scale.

A formal written retail painting quote should include several specific items that allow meaningful comparison between operators. The documented scope of work specifying exactly which surfaces and elements are included; the specific products by brand and product name (Dulux Trade specifications including Dulux Wash & Wear, Dulux Aquanamel, Wattyl Trade products, Taubmans Aquaguard Commercial, Haymes Solver, Resene Lumbersider, or specific brand-matched specifications); the brand colour codes or AS 2700 references; the number of coats; the surface preparation included; the after-hours scheduling premium and specific work windows; the QBCC licence number for projects above the threshold with financial category supporting the contract value; the public liability insurance details with $20 million minimum confirmed for centre work; references from comparable retail projects; and the payment schedule with specific milestones tied to identifiable work stages.

Specific items to verify before signing any contract for retail painting work above the QBCC threshold include the QBCC licence is current with appropriate financial category through the QBCC online register; the public liability insurance certificate is current and provides minimum $20 million cover ($50 million recommended on substantial centre work); references from comparable recent completed retail projects are provided and verified through follow-up contact; the contract terms address retail-specific provisions including after-hours scheduling, brand colour matching specifications, sign writer coordination, and centre management approval requirements; and the contractor maintains documented quality systems supporting the project quality requirements. Centre common-area work commonly requires additional pre-qualification through centre management onboarding.

For consumer protection beyond contract issues, the Queensland Government provides guidance on retail tenancy issues including the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 administered by the Department of Justice. The Australian Consumer Law guarantees that apply to all retail painting work include guarantees that work is performed with due care and skill, fit for purpose, and within a reasonable time. The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal handles dispute resolution where retail tenancy and painting disputes cannot be resolved through direct negotiation between the parties.

What to look out for specifically in retail painting quotes: extreme low quotes that significantly undercut other operators commonly reflect either inadequate insurance (residential-level liability rather than appropriate centre cover), inadequate financial category, substituted products (cheaper alternatives to brand-specified premium systems), inadequate after-hours scheduling provisions (assuming daytime productivity for overnight work), substituted colour matching (close-but-not-exact rather than precise brand match), or insufficient centre management coordination overhead. Extreme high quotes may reflect higher-quality system specifications, comprehensive premium brand matching, substantial centre management relationships, or specialist heritage shopfront expertise worth understanding before dismissing. Any contractor reluctant to provide their QBCC licence number, public liability certificate at appropriate centre cover, or references from comparable retail work should be viewed cautiously regardless of price.
