I wouldn’t price this office from 3,200 sq ft alone.

First I’d walk the scope.
Then estimate the labor.
Then calculate the real cost.
Then add the profit the business needs.

Square footage is useful—but it’s only the starting point.

How are you estimating labor when you price commercial accounts?

Schools can look simple when you only look at square footage.

Then you start adding restrooms, cafeterias, hallways, VCT floors, high traffic, and detail work.

That’s where the labor adds up.

Square footage gives you the size. The walkthrough tells you the work.

What would you bid this account?

4,500 sq ft medical office.
8 exam rooms.
3 restrooms.
Waiting room.
Trash removal.
3x per week.
Daytime cleaning.

Drop your monthly price below. I want to see how different operators approach the same building.

A cleaning contract can look profitable until you start counting everything underneath the revenue.

Payroll. Taxes. Supplies. Equipment. Insurance. Admin time. Callbacks.

The money coming in is only part of the story.

Know your real cost, then price for a healthy margin.

I’m on the commercial cleaning side, but I have to give the residential cleaners their credit.

I pay $250 a month to have my house cleaned, and I can honestly say it’s some of the best money I spend.

Coming home to a clean house without having to spend half the day doing it myself is worth every dollar.

Residential cleaners definitely deserve a lot more appreciation. 👏

You submit the proposal… then find out several other cleaning companies are bidding too.

Do you lower the price, follow up, reinforce your value, or just let the buyer decide?

I don’t think competition automatically means your price is too high.

What have you done after submitting a proposal that actually helped you win the contract?
