hi there

we dont price windows alone  on the build clean, they just form part of the build clean, not seperate at all.
anybody dealing with developers, will understand detaping and maintaining the street scene as the build develops.  our teams will go on site to carry that out, so that when we do the build clean we are ahead of the game.

regards

martin

Must admit, I stay well clear of builders cleans nowadays. Its the call backs that cost the money..trade cleans are ok though.

good morning guys

when you quote for builders cleans do you send a risk assesment with your quote or do you do individual risk assesment at the time of carring out the work?

does anyone have a copy of a risk assesment and method statment that i could look at and mybe use that is aimed at builders cleans.

i do have my own but wondered if there was somthing that was more appropriate for builders clean (Windows).

Thanks for your help.

Sorry to look on the down side of Tim’s generosity, but: I can just see loads of cleaning companies working for peanuts, I’m probably wrong, but… be careful,

These jobs have to be priced on size.

A guide of £25 for a kitchen means nothing.

Think i have caught up with the above requests, you should all have it now.

Looking at Pauls comment above, the pricing Matrix WAS based on a typical flat, and even if you were to charge £25 for the kitchen.....your staff should do it to a good standard within 1 - 1.5 hours. How much do you pay per hour?? Your still making good money here. Any windows in the kitchen are charged further along on the pricing matrix.

Prices for a larger house.....put the price up!!

You said it Paul.....


As i have said to all that recieved the sample pricing matrix.....this is only a guide....and you can change any price or % you deem necessary. So if you would like to charge £18 or £30 for your kitchen on any given site you are pricing up.....then the formula will work with it. Charge what you like!!!

Hi Tim,

By the way I’m not having a go at the way you charge for new builds, as you have said it’s what works for the individual.

Certain jobs have to be priced by the sq ft, sq metre, cubic ft, cubic metre, if I was asked to thermal fog a smoke damaged property, it would be worked out on the area concerned, if I was asked to clean a carpet it would be the same.

We used to work our prices out by the square foot.....However, more often or not, you are getting for example a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment at 645 sq ft....and an identical one next door at 690 sq ft. This also took us a lot of time working out our quotes.

Kind Regards

Tim

Hang on Tim, a lot of time to work out, 0.15 x 645 = £96.75 and 0.15 x 690 = £103.50
If the jobs a pain 0.25 per sq ft.

If I get an enquiry for a new build clean, I can give the developer a good idea of what I will charge for the initial clean from the size of the property immediately.

Regards

Paul
