I don't think you know what you're getting into here. If i read you correctly, you're talking two coat cement render,, with plaster finishing coat, (a lot of work overall). You said you have not done this kind of work before, and have also only done small jobs in the past.
You make it sound so easy when you say, put one render coat on rough, and then put on second coat, "file it" down flat
, and then plaster on top, to finish.
You estimate it will take you're gang of 5,, "two months" to complete the job. That is some job for a squad who don't really know what they're doing,, and don't know how, or what to charge. I would say with all due respect, that this job sound to me, to be way out of you're depth. I don't know what you're capabilities are, and i'm not meaning to put you down, but if you have only been used to doing skimming, or small jobs,, forget this one, and let others more knowledgeable do the job.
