When looking for commercial cleaning services for your company, price is definitely one of the factors that would play a principal role in deciding which one to hire and work with. Pricing for these services vary per company, but you should look at their bids carefully to see if they would be the most appropriate for your office. You may be receiving a number of bids when word gets out that your company’s looking for professional cleaners to work with, so it’s going to be to your advantage to figure out how these bids are being written for you in the first place.
Coming up with estimates is no guess work. A good commercial janitorial services company would be able to take into consideration your company’s needs and integrate it in the proposal to justify the rate they would provide. Such factors include: how big your office/facility is, the scope of work, how often the cleaning services would be used, hourly rates given, and the manpower required to fulfill the task. If your company would be able to provide some of these points firsthand, the cleaners would be able to provide you with a more realistic rate.
The size of your facility is a consideration for obvious reasons. The scope of work depends on what furniture, fixtures, and equipment you may have in your work area. Some of these items may require special cleaning such as carpets and curtains, and may need to be taken care of within particular time frames. Those will of course determine how many people are needed to work in your facility.
As far as hourly rates are concerned, there is no single flat rate for all cleaners. This depends on a number of factors, too. Some hourly rates are mandated by the state, like minimum hourly wages for workers. Some workers are certified to be experts in a particular field and may charge a rate that is higher than the standard worker’s. If part of the scope of work includes something that is done less frequently to the point that there may be no regular schedule for it, it’s common to charge a premium rate on it.
Commercial cleaning services consolidate all these considerations in one proposal for your consideration. Before choosing which one to work with, make sure that all your company’s needs are covered accordingly. Should there be revisions needed, the cleaning companies should be able to make the necessary adjustments in a short amount of time.
