Pricing Please ( ball park figure )
« on: December 05, 2016, 11:29:37 pm »
Really need some help on this one please, for those who clean commercial/office buildings. We now have a contract with a large maintenance company who are gradually filtering work through to us. We already have some in hand that we clean, but nothing on the scale of this!. This is one of their sites that we have been asked to quote (WFP).  Looking at the pic, imagine the back of the building being identical to the front.........then the 2nd building behind being almost identical to the building at the front. Hope that makes sense. We can utilise 2 or 3 men on this, and its a quarterly clean.

Thanks in advance, Fieldsy

Should be about 10 mins work if your guys are as fast as Nathan. I'd say £12.50 for the lot.

Although having looked again I'd say by the time you get round the back you'll be feckered.  So I'd probably allow 3 days for two blocks for a one person set up.

Two operatives, two days.

Thanks fellas, thats a big help.

@ Daz, are you saying £440 per block m8, so £880 in total ?

So general concensus is around the £800-£1000ish over a two day period for one man. I was breaking it down like Ian said and got it to around a £1000, so not too far out. Thanks for all the advice, a big help.

At 200 per building you would be mugging yourself for a job like that surely :o
How did you work that price out on your daily rate by any chance ?

Say you got the job as you think it was a fair price to win the work. I'm betting after the first clean and feeling totally knackered doing it on your own you would be saying to yourself "fook that for a game of soldiers I'm off."

I think he is saying £220 per day
On a commercial like that I'd be wanting and asking for min of £300 per day
High  hard work
On second thoughts £350 per day,  single operator

If it's guna be done quarterly you could easy do it for as low as £750 -£900, depending on how much work they giving you. I see about 3 days for a single man, at the top front section there's 2 windows facing sideways onto the roof these may be hard to get but everything else is straight forward
