I am often asked about bidding on the larger office buildings.
You know, the one's that are over 10,000 square feet in size.
There are many of these and they are all over the place and a great opportunity for you. Once you get them under contract, these larger offices are your 'bread and butter'.
The "Instant Office Cleaning Kit"which you should already have (Get It Here!),contains lots of specific information that I know will be very useful to you in your own cleaning business. As you should know, it contains forms, service agreement, introduction letter, and estimating chart and much more useful information that is proven to be a great help.
The estimating chart in the Kit goes up to 10,000 square foot offices
in size and specifies the individual price per cleaning. Keep in mind that
if the office is in anyway medical that you should charge more because a medical office will have treatment rooms in them and each treatment room has a sink. If the office is medical, I will usually always double the price on the chart because you can get it and because it is worth it.
When figuring out a price for large office buildings that are
typically over 10,000 square feet in size, you should consider
the following as a guide:
BIDDING TIP
Simply multiply the total amount of square feet times .10 cents.
On the large office buildings, this will provide you with the price
per month. The total monthly price is determined in this manner.
Remember, this would be your monthly price and not your
individual price per cleaning. This monthly price is based on
cleaning to be done 5 times a week.
Most all office buildings this size requires the cleaning to be
done 5 times a week. Quite often in an attempt to control the
cost for cleaning they will only want a full cleaning 2 times a week
and a light cleaning 3 times a week. This is to be expected
on the large buildings.
Just ask them if they want the full cleaning
done 2 or 3 times a week but point out to them that the
cleaning service should show up 5 times a week.
A light cleaning takes half the time to do as a full cleaning, but you
can still get your .10 cents a square foot anyway. Especailly if you
are including the changing of the burned out ceiling lights.
This is a great selling point by itself and justifies a higher price
per month. Keep this in mind when estimating any large office
