Pricing a commercial construction cleaning job

[suzy]

Hello all,

I have not been checking my email. I would like some help I am about to quote on on 18 floor condo, construction clean this is my first attemp to quote of this type I do not know how to price this job so you help would be greatly appreciated. my question is do I price per units or by the sq. ft of the entire building. how do I price 3 floors of parking garage is this to included in the total sq.ft. or seperatly priced and what is the price per sq.ft. and per units. how many workers would it take to clean this number of floors. Do I price Interior windows seperately. Tell me the things that should be included in this clean. I am very new at this and do not want to make a mistake of over charging or under charging which is usually the case???

Thanks
Suzy

There are three types of construction cleaning, rough, final, and touch up. What stage are you in? You price everything seperate that will take labor and supplies to clean and wrap it into one proposal. Start with this thread here: usacleaning.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Commercial&thread=238

There is also another way to look at this, which the general contractor will probably be more then comfortable with as he/she is probably not a spring chicken if involved in something that size. You are performing phase work at a pre determined hourly rate, your making your profit on the management of your labor and supplies. You are having the GC sign off at every phase of completion, and paying in stages.
