James: Day porter, mop mover, the person is an employee of yours and you have to determine how many hours he is on the job, as well as the rate of pay for his position. Don't forget to add on your employer expenses for him when you're doing your proposal. As well, don't start out with a square foot rate. I am sure you know this but start out by calculating how long to do the job on a daily basis, figure out your labour costs, add your employer expenses (Workmens comp etc.) add in your materials plus the profit margin you want. You know have a daily rate to charge x the number of days you have to service a week = rate per week x 52 divide by 12 =monthly rate. If you want to work back to a sq ft. rate use your annual amount and divide by the sq. footage.

I just found at I have to supply things for the bathrooms and the small officws trash bags and bags for the larger cans. 1 building has 6 bathrooms, the other has 2. How do I figure how much and I need and what do I charge for supplying? Should I seperate the supply costs or add it in too the price?

Evening James: 1. Do you have to supply lady's hygienic items? 2. What kind of paper products, it makes a difference as to how much is used. For example, you will go through a lot more of kraft multifold paper towels than you will white singlefold.. 3. Are you supplying toilet paper? 4. What size bags , I imagine 24 x 22 for the small garbage cans and at least 35 x 5o for the large ones?
I generally add 20 % on top of my wholesale cost and invoice separately. DO NOT make the mistake of including it in your price, the cost of paper products goes up and down like oil futures and can cost you a bundle.
E-mail me, (I know you sent me your number but I'm getting old and misplaced it) and I'll try to help ;you out more if you get me some more info
Bill
