I will be painting directly onto plasterboard as that's how it's being left by the contractors.0 -
You can have quick, cheap, and good - pick any two.
If you want quick, I reckon three persons with sprayers could do all walls, one coat, per day. Add on another day for cornice and door frame detailing.
You can hire sprayers or buy cheap ones from Screwfix or shopping TV.
