Post by: Mhall on July 08, 2007, 04:51:03 pm: Can you guys help me out a quote. Its for the whole building and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long while and as its on a main busy road, they are filthy.

I'm based in the North West.

Here is the front of the building

Here is the side of the building
(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb43/windowgleam/Side.jpg)

This is the side of the photo above, the opposite side also has the same amount of windows.

Here is the back, its wasteland and does not have a proper path leading to it, you have to just walk down through the nettles, weeds etc... to get to it.

What do you guys think would be a good price, don't want to underprice!

cheers

Mike

With about 70 windows, your estimate of 1 and half hours to do the job works out at less than 2 minutes per window.

I have not had any experience of bigger jobs like this, so I'm just curious:

1 Is this about average for WFP?
2 How confident can you be that that you can achieve a good job with the highest windows?
3 Would you check before you leave?

Cheers,

Mike

Post by: ronnie paton on July 09, 2007, 08:39:56 am: I quoted for this over bout two years afo in mossley, simalar price but just was told they would have a meeting and get back to me. after a call and a email i left alone.

just a warning, it was a occupant trying to sort it out and it seemed he wasnt getting all ocupants willing to pay.

Post by: Mhall on July 09, 2007, 09:50:55 am: Cheers for the advice Ronnie, the guys called Mike - apparently he is the building manager

Post by: Mhall on July 09, 2007, 09:54:58 am: Right, just put the quote in.......

"ok, i'll put it past the maintenence commitee and give you a call back"

Seems odd, as he is supposed to be the building manager, surely he could make a decision like that.

Anyway, i'll keep you lot updated as to the outcome

I'm doubtful he will go for it
