Been asked by a large builders surveyor company to give them a quotation for a one off clean/builders on a large building, inside + out. They have a cherrypicker on site that i can use for outsides. thing is though, is it better to trad a big building for a one off, or would it be better to use wfp? When i say better i mean, what will be quicker. I don't have much experience with builders cleans at all. I realise it all depends if there is cement/paint/render etc on the glass, but lets just say there wasnt and its just standard filthly windows, what would you do. Use a cherrypicker with trad or wfp the outsides?
I rarely ever do commercial most of my work is domestic. I want to put a quote in though, for the challenge of taking on a big job and trying something different and seeing how it goes. How do you go about pricing on a big one off job.
My thoughts are to split up the building into sections, count all the windows, charge what i would normally per window set, double it as its a one off, then depending on what that figure is i may add more on for hassle and extra time wasted etc. Also will factor in how dirty windows are ofcourse.
I am not desperate at all for work, so if it looks like a real pita, then i will just put in a high price and then atleast if i do get the job, it's going to be a good earner. Either way i'm not that bothered if i dont get it.
What would you charge per day on a commercial one off job to be happy with.
Bear in mind, i'm used to doing £200 a day solo wfp or £325 with 2 of us in winter time as an average day rate that i am comfortable with.
Cheers guys.
