How Do I Bid on Commercial Cleaning?
I am just starting to clean buildings located in California my question is, how much to charge square ft bid? The building is 48,000 square ft 2 stories. I will be cleaning bath rooms, mop all and vacuum window cleaning and more. This is a one time clean. How will I figure the total will I multiply the sq ft by $ amount?
I have a janitorial cleaning business anyone know how to bid on commercial building 48,000 sq. ft. 2 story. Is it by sq. ft. or per hour? I live in California and how much if it's sq. ft. and if multiplying sq. ft. by cents per sq. ft?
Any help?
Thank you.

Hi, dan325is!
I just moved your post where you had started a thread in the Furniture forum topic area to this thread in order to avoid confusion.
In just a minute, I will be merging the two posts. The title for the thread in Furniture was lost when I moved the post.
How would you like for this thread to be titled? Or, would you just like to leave it the same as it is now?
Thanks!

Hi, Stringer!
My next "move" was to be to call you in on this thread and to inform dan325is about the possibilities for marketing and advertising.
I've been wondering how you've been? Left you a message, yesterday...
Thanks!

Can you give me the total square footage? How long do you have to finish the clean?
Is this a bidding situation or do you already have the job?

To arrive at a final price there are more questions; Total sq ft relates to pricing, open or condensed areas, windows included, do you need to rent any equipment for height cleaning and dumpster use, type/s of flooring, any carpet or other floor work involved, etc?
Square footage is usually the best way to go for commercial cleaning. However you need to calculate your total price and bid with a total figure.
I apologize if I am being basic here I don't know how experienced you are.

Hi Dan,
I only have a minute but I wanted to respond to your info. Tomorrow we can break it down and get started on the bid.
Another question/s;
How many buildings are there involved in this bid? You mentioned 40,000 and 30,000 sq ft.
How many bidders?
What areaa are you located? What part of the country (Assuming you are in the US.) Pricing varies considerably around the country and in cities compared to the suburbs.

Hi, dan325is!
I'll let Stringer know that you've been posting here. He's been having some health related issues lately.
Thanks!
