Italian term or phrase: a compenso dell’intonaco
Hello everyone
I am getting towards the end of a valuation project which is not really my area and I find the following section entitled "Intonaci":

I prezzi degli intonaci dovranno essere applicati alla superficie effettivamente intonacata, procedendo quindi alla detrazione delle aperture per porte e finestre superiori a 4 m², senza tener conto delle superfici laterali di risalti, lesene, cornici, parapetti, architravi ecc.; tali superfici laterali, sia piane che curve, dovranno essere valutate quando la loro larghezza supera i 5 cm. Gli intonaci interni sui muri di spessore superiore a 15 cm saranno computati a vuoto per pieno, **a compenso ** dell’intonaco nelle riquadrature dei vani, che non saranno perciò sviluppate; tuttavia, per i vani di superficie superiore a 4 m², dovranno essere detratti i vuoti e le zone mancanti valutando a parte la riquadratura di detti vani.

The first sentence is fine as is the first part of the second and then I get lost from the asterisks onwards. Would anyone be willing to explain/translate?
In other questions I would like to focus on exactly what "riquadrature", "sviluppate", "zone mancanti" refer to. I understand all of the words, but not the way they are put together!
