Has anyone compiled a quote for a commercial builders clean from a set of architects drawings.

The reason I ask, I got a call yesterday from another cleaning company asking me if I'd be interested in quoting for a re-furb of one building and a new construction if another. It all sounded a little off-beat to be honest although initially at first I was interested. Saying that the girl who called reckoned their existing contractor charged £2.50 a window which is cheap for a builders clean. Anyway she wantted a price yesterday which all seemed rather rushed ad the job wouldn't be ready til December. It started to smell a little too much for me in the end I told her it didn't add up I wasn't comfortable and that I wasn't therefore interested.

So back to the original question, hows about pricing from drawings? Who's done it?

possibly going to use your quote to beat the other guy down why else would she tell u the other guys price

yes I have, a building site of new builds, all they could show me was the drawings so I just counted the windows and went for a price per window, a lot higher than 2.50 though. needless to say I never got the job

Something along those lines perhaps. Or perhaps they didn't have a clue tharp ed. She did mention the name of the company. I know them, they come on here, unless it's another company with the same name. If it's who I think it is, Steve put your prices up ;0)

Hi Matt,

It's common practice to quote off drawings for build clean work. Any probes email me.

Cheers,

Thanks Huw. Well I've passed it up now anyway. I didn't hear back about that quote about 3-4 weeks ago. Never mind mate. Any news on your project re: passing work on from enquiries?
