nice job
difficult without seeing it up close but at a guess 25 man days

Lots of hidden difficulty in a building like that, interior glass, stairwells, quality of trades etc, a lot will hinge on the foreman some of them can be very difficult on the paperwork side and cost you a lot of production yime as well.

Hi,

I'd stick two or three guys on it and knock it ou in eight to ten days. Probably looking somewhere in the region of £5000.

Cheers.

Are you being asked just to clean the glass, or is it the cladding tiles as well, i worked on one like that in Leeds, where we had to literally power wash and then manually scrub each tile clean and then the glass as well.

Luckily we got extra cause we had to manually clean each tile, the contractor fined the tile cladding fitters for marking all the tiles.

They are hireing a cherry picker, that may not come with an operator, you may be required to operate it, ipaf trained etc, also i doubt you will have sole access to the cherry picker, as other trades will require it.

It really is a big job to take on and even try to price, i was only sub contracted to work on the one in leeds.

The windows we gave a once over with the power washer as we were doing the cladding, but they were covered in tape and sealent, all of which can be a right pain in the backside to get off, then we went back and did them trad.

The cladding we were only allowed to use soapy water and a scrubbing brush/yard brush to wash and then power wash off.

Looking at your pictures the site is open onto the public pavement/highway, this looks a bit of a night mare where h and s is concerned.

i know the guy i worked for got a real good price for the job, but i think he would quote more in future due to all the head aches you come across.

There will be people who specialise in this sort of job, you may quote cheaper than them, but you could end up regretting it.

Not trying to put you off, just an insight

Good luck with it

Estimate how many days it will take you and multiply that against what you would want per day for doing that job considering the possible pro's and con's. And then i would add a hefty extra % on as a contingency fund for any extras.

really cant work out an any where near accurate price off pictures

If your not making really good money don't even bother cause it will always take longer than you think and unless all other trades have let site you will be backwards and forwards all day.

I would put 4 guys inside and 4 guys outside in two truck mounted access platforms, depending on the state of the cladding would hope to bang it out in a 2-3 days £6000.00 all in.

If your not used to doing this work be careful you need to have a lot of paper work and CSCS cards and CIS to work for builders and they don't normally tell you till its time to get paid and drag it out till you have all these things.
