The problem I have is some of the sub-contractors do sloppy work and it slows our production rate down. For example, when painters don't use a drop cloth and we have to spend extra time cleaning paint droplets on stubborn surfaces.
That would be an issue. Maybe if your quoting them during construction, you can let them know that it'll be extra for those things and they can make sure their crew is less sloppy
You should track your production rates for each phases of cleaning that you offer. The Janitorial store.com has a Production Rates Tracking spread sheet - This spreadsheet allows you to track and calculate each building's production rate. It also has tabs for tracking task times for up to 3 employees. This will give you a better idea of how long each task takes for your company.

Great video. How can one calculate production rate when you are starting new and you are getting a crew together to do the cleanup job when you have no idea how many SQFT they can clean per hour?
Great question. You would need to use industry production rates and work loading numbers until you and your crew can start tracking YOUR own production rates that can be used to determine the time to clean. On www.thejanitorialstore.com and www.MyHouseCleaningbiz.com you can find work loading calculators and production rates numbers.
Me and my Nikon D500 so since I don’t know what their rate per sqft is for the first few cleanings I would have to guess on the bid and hope I get it close enough, gotcha thanks.
@@sudsupjanitorial5986 If your crew has not done any cleaning and you don't have production rates for them, you will need to use your rates. I would have to think that you have done some cleaning in the past. Either you cleaned for another cleaning company or for your own cleaning business. Use YOUR production rates to set the time to clean for the account. If this is a residential bi-weekly account use 600-700 square feet per hour, for commercial use 2800 for once per week small account, 3000 for twice per week, 3200 for three days per week, 3300 for a four day service and 3400 for a 5 day per week account. The rates will depend on what the scope of work is that you put together. This will give you a start.
How can you track your square footage per hour I don't get it? The way you are explaining this doesn't make sense in the way that your doing the job in 2 days and all your making is $700.00 dollars so even if you had in a week 2 jobs like this you would only make $1400.00 in a week and that is before taxes do you still think that is good and if so can you tell me why?
If your a cleaning business owner you should be tracking your production rates. The square feet you clean in one hour is your production rate. Very easy to track. Not sure what your asking, if you did two jobs in a week and made $1,400 is that good? Might be how much profit did you make?
Good video, so profit is good from 20% up to 30%....

Hi how much would you charge roughly for a 3600 sq ft construction house clean up?
A self storage post construction with 50.000 SQ.FT to keep clean every day, how I”ll figure timing labor daily
