£600- 17.5% = £495

£495- £220+vat = £237

£237- a mans wage £80 = £157

£157 two get on a scissor lift and worry about if you will get the job done in a day, good luck is all I can say.

Well done trevor, you must be a very wealthy man to employ 17 men.

if you are cleaning large schools and universities it is possible to work along with a large team and the things that go wrong  if your not working with them are standards drop ie not wiping sills proper on insides , missing windows general curtousy etc all these things if not monitored do lead to complaints.

with the work i do we always work in a small team some outside and some doing ins but i guess it depends on what kind of work your doing and also finding a good foreman you can trust.

Propole

there is obviously some miss guidance from the photos you are supplying, it really doesn't look difficult, you have seen it in the flesh so obviously you know what your talking about  ::) if you know how to price the job then why ask the question? get on with it, price it, clean it, whatever, theres no need for all the school yard back biting!!

there sounds like some good experienced guys on here that help people along but you feel the need to try and put them down, there is no need for it, you will just rub people up the wrong way for no real reason and you make yourself just sound like an ass, this ain't a personal attack just an observation, think before you blink springs to mind!

sounds harsh but i think its true.
