COMMERCIAL EXAMPLE

An office cleaning estimate you can rebuild.

This example is an 8,000 sq ft professional office, about 10 visits a month, four restrooms and a break room. The dollars are arithmetic on demonstration inputs. Replace every number with your walkthrough.

What changes office hours

Restroom count, kitchen use, conference-room turnover and after-hours security sign-in dominate labor more than raw square footage. Monthly glass and high-dust should not be multiplied by every visit.

If you are the buyer, ask bidders how many restrooms and visits are in the price. If you are the contractor, clone this structure in the bid calculator.

Setup and travel still belong to the account

Eight minutes of setup and twelve minutes of paid travel, ten times a month, are hours you either collect or donate. The table includes them. The homepage example uses a smaller office with different minutes so you can see the method, not a copied quote.

Common questions

Is this the price I should charge for 8,000 sq ft?

No. It is a worked arithmetic example. Your wage, burden, productivity and city are different.

Can a facility manager use this to check a vendor bid?

Yes, as a structure. Ask the vendor to fill the same rows. SweepTally will not hire the vendor for you.

Does Takeoff have an office template?

Yes. Office is a supported property type. You still confirm area and services.
