@@thejanitorialstore Thanks. I usually charge by the job for residential cleaning. I have 2 Business accounts that I do once a week. Just vaccuming, and bathrooms. I don't have to mop. So I charge them by the hour.
Whew!! Thank you for this video, I’m meeting the builder for a new hospital in town that is 150,000 sq ft. I’ve never cleaned anything this big; especially a post construction! You’re videos are so helpful, I’ve been learning so much. On my way to the website for that calculator 🏃🏼♀️
What do you recommend for a luxury apartment building where you are getting this kind of work every week steady. 1bedrooms/2 bedrooms? THANKYOU in advance
If this is recurring cleaning you can get a flat rate per unit based on condition. If you know your production rates for weekly, biweekly and monthly recurring cleans and the clutter rate (condition) you can arrive at a price pretty easy. You also need to know the square footage of each unit.
Hmmm, we do only high-end homes at $750k+ and we charge $.49/sf for the final finish cleaning. We don't do different phases, we just do the one big cleaning. This pays us $50/labor hours perfectly
How the heck am I supposed to continue to bid post construction cleaning jobs that haven’t broken ground yet in this crazy inflation of world we are in?? I can’t exactly do cost plus, but that is essentially what I need.
I submitted a proposal to clean a Chick-fil-A after renovation and I was told that my price was really low compared to others they used in the past. So it is 4700 sq ft and I priced at .10 for the rough clean and .18 for the final clean for a total of $1325. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
what would you call a clean where you are their weekly doing a standard office clean while construction. basically doing the regular janitorial and eheavy duty dusting and mopping?
Thanks so much! I just started my largest post construction cleanup this morning that's 4,000sqft custom build and this has definitely helped out so much. I have been so worried and not confident enough on how to price this job compared to my others. This first clean is a normal clean, but there's so many strips of tape that the customer isn't happy about with the build, so this will definitely be a 3 phase clean. Again, thanks!
How do you calculate Production Rate? A 5000sqft luxury custom house in my city will take us 5 days - 7 hrs per day, and 5 cleaners to finish (we do I think second and third face cleaning). If the house is empty we will probably finish the job in 3 or 4 days. But in this case, the builder has lots of trades working with us at the same time and we clean areas more than twice. What is the formula to calculate Production Rate? Thanks!
To calculate production rates you take the cleanable square footage divided by the time to clean. 5000 square feet divided by 23 hours = 217.39 square feet per hour. If I understand you correctly, this will be a 3 phase cleaning. The home is 5000 square feet. You will have 5 cleaners working 7 hours each which is 35 hours per day. They will work 5 days which = 175 total hours. If you spend 175 hours on this job, you production rate will be 28.57 square feet per hour. Which is very very slow for PCC. You need to look at each phase of the cleaning and estimate the time to clean which will give you your production for that phase. For example: (Your estimated time will depend on the scope of work for each phase.) Phase one: Rough clean 6.25 hours = a production rate of 800 square feet per hour. Phase two: Final clean - 25 hours = 200 square feet per hour. Phase three: Touch-up clean - 12.5 hours = 400 square feet per hour. Total time to clean with 3 phases = 43.75 hours or an overall production rate of 114.28 square feet per hour. Hope this helps.
May i ask what would you charge for a 3000 square foot construction trailer? They also need the outside deck and windows cleaned. Please help if possible. Thank you
Those are very dirty. You need to workload the task to arrive at time to clean. Use your billable rate to arrive at a price point. You might consider getting this program. www.thejanitorialstore.com/products/post-construction-cleaning-training-1004.cfm
@@thejanitorialstore im pretty sure we were extremely low balled. Our first large project. Potential 3 million sq ft at end of project. But the thought of being low balled now, is eating me up. Thanks for your response. I'll take a look at that resource you suggested!
@@SaavisMommy Don't let it eat you up. We all have been there. Use it as a learning experience for your next project. On every project track your cleanable square footage and the total hours to clean for each phase of cleaning. From it you will know your production rate for that type of phase and will be able to use it on the next one so you don't low ball. Remember to have a clause in your agreement about recleaning areas. That is one of the main reasons cleaning companies will lose money on the project because they had not addressed that issue. We charge an hourly rate for recleaning areas and we have the super sign off on all areas so we don't have a he said she said situation. It's been my experience that some general contractors will take advantage of a low calculation for the project while others will ask you to recalculate your numbers. It does tell you something about the companies ethics if they took advantage of the situation. Don't look back, keep moving forward!
@@thejanitorialstore Thank you so much. I have to mention, I received a call this morning to advise that they decided to use a different company. I'm speculating, but based on the low #, they didn't take us seriously. Im going to keep moving like you said. That was a heavy hit. Do you mentor?
@@SaavisMommy Yes, I do. I mentor two companies per year and those are filled. I have many coaching clients that have one hour session with me every two weeks to once per month.
thank you so much! You look such a nice person. You can see that you really want to help others. 😃
Thank you. I usually charge by the hour. I'm gonna try your method and see if my prices are too low or high.
Sure, you may find charging by the job you can actual make more per hour.

How many hours do you work on them? And rough est of the sq footage?

Raise the dmn price until Brandon control the inflation

@@thejanitorialstore how can I talk to you? Where do I call? Maybe what we do in not the regular PCC?
I just started a business in Colorado and your videos have been very educational.
That's great, I hope you are closing lots of sales.
Thanks.
