Hello,
My family owns a residential cleaning company and we were offered a 11000sf office building (lawyers offices). We have never cleaned offices before so I am clueless as what to charge.
The inititial cleaning is a post construction cleaning which the contractors left it in really good condition. They painted, replaced all panels for the drop ceiling, installed new carpets, a few cabinets in their two small kitchens, and three new bathrooms with a few stalls and urinals.
Here is our task list for the initial cleaning:
Small Windows (inside only)
3rd floor: 9000sf 95% carpet
21 offices ( all carpet )
1 kitchen ( tile floors )
2 bathrooms
2 conference rooms (carpet)
3 small computer rooms ( vinyl floors )
2nd floor 1800sf ( all carpet )
1 reception area ( common area )
4 conference rooms
1 kitchen ( tile floors )
1 bathroom
We employ 9 women it I''m thinking the initial cleaning would take about 4 hours with about 4 or 5 employees. Am I off base here with that estimation. The place is empty so there are no obstacles to get in our way.
After the initial cleaning, he would like us to clean 3x per week:
Empty trash
Vacuum
Disinfect bathrooms
The 3 small kitchens
And some light dusting
Please help. How should I charge for the initial cleaning and the for the 3x per week. I''ve done some research and I''ve seen anything from .15 - .30 per sf per month. Does that sound correct. The office is im north jersey(20min from NYC) I really appreciate any feedback.
Thank you
