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

Cheers ;)

ide say £200 per block is a fair price
-
how long do you think theyll take?id have no idea either!one building a day?2 days work?id go in at £440 and hope id get each building cleaned in 5-6 hours.

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

Days work per block for one man.

Somewhere about what the King and old Slacky posted.

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.

1K is what I'd be going for.

What height pole for that?
-
60' for the very top I would think.

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

That is a terrible hourly rate on a commercial like that!!!!
-
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

i wouldnt know as i dont have any jobs like that.i thought larger commercial was very cut throat?thats why i didnt go in too high. :)
-
Price for 4 days and do it in 3. Are they super minging? First clean could be a pig.
-
your right theres a lot more work there and at height too.id be after £350 per building and hopefully get them cleaned in 2 days on maintenance cleans,3 days first clean.

I suppose it's all relative
If you after a lot of work and there are prospects of more to come you may go in lower, but if you have a good domestic round, I would be wanting a better hourly rate as that job is a strain on your body.
I have good domestic work and don't go for commercial unless I'm getting more ££££'s
There is still great commercial work out there.
Managed apartment blocks are good for me as are Upper class pubs that demand a really top class job doing.
I find the cutthroat jobs that you can splash and dash on are for those that employ and can go in Lower than us sole traders

I'd be about £1,500 per building monthly. Couldn't be bothered counting it all up. So £2,250 quarterly.
Needless to say we don't get much commercial work 😂

They would probably snap yer hand off too after I had put in me price ;D ;D
