Ok I’m asking for advice I have a 16,000 sq ft finial cleanup on a construction remodel, I have to price the whole building windows need to be clean ,carpets vacuumed , desk and cubicles wiped down bathroom , and bulk is already picked up would it be better by sq ft or total price what should I charge on something that big

By the hour is the only way to go for me on something like that. Unless you do construction cleans all the time they are tough.

I'd agree, I'd charge per hour.

Sounds like you got a price then.


Honestly I was thinking 0.50 a foot sounded low for all the work being done, but when you show $200 an hour coming out to the same price, its actually pretty good. Even if you have to pay like $60 an hour for labor, you're left with a pretty good chunk for materials and then you should be pulling $100 an hour.

I got my price I just got to present it at .50sq ft so they don’t push me to hurry and they have a set price

I like the sq footage better than the per hour. If you change per hour they think you are getting lawyer rates. When in reality you have a lot of expenses that come out of the $200.

Yup and people freak out when your charging by the hour because they don’t know how much it going to cost or they rush you to save money and I don’t do a half ass jobs
