Do you really expect someone to tell, or should I say guess, at this? You gave us 0 information as to what needs to be done, where you are, etc. How about $147,200.00?

Agree with Ma0641. I will say this every time I see a thread like this pop up...

If you have to ask how to estimate jobs like these then you have no business taking jobs like these... period! You are almost surely doomed to failure if you think you can find really helpful information from web sites like this.

The ONLY way to personally estimate jobs like this is to work hard for years, starting with small jobs and working your way up to where you have the knowledge and experience to bid a job properly... and even then, with unknowns like weather, theft, employee issues and difficulty with payment schedules and all the other silly things that happen and it is always still hard to be sure you will make the right money!

Otherwise, you could always hire an experienced estimator and share a percentage of the job with him/her (I never liked the thought of this... estimator could have a bad day and then what? )!

Good luck!

I have to agree with other two posters. No information provided, i.e. medical building, just offices, what type of offices, etc. Why don't you leave this to experienced cleaners, you are asking for trouble. We cannot give you any idea at all, at least from my end.
