How to Bid Commercial Office Janitorial Contracts Successfully

Winning Office Cleaning Contracts Commercial bidding requires detailed time-studies based on standard cleanable area production rates.

Understanding Production Rates A production rate is the number of square feet a single cleaner can clean in one hour. * **High Density Office (Call centers, cubicles)**: 1,500 - 2,200 sq ft / hour. * **Medium Density (Standard executive offices)**: 2,500 - 3,500 sq ft / hour. * **Low Density (Open warehouse floors, open lobbies)**: 4,000 - 6,000 sq ft / hour.

Formula for Monthly Bidding 1. **Calculate time per visit**: Total Office Sq Ft / Production Rate. 2. **Calculate weekly hours**: Time per visit * Visits per week. 3. **Calculate monthly cost**: Weekly hours * 4.33 weeks/month * Hourly labor rate ($30-$45/hr) * Profit margin factor (1.3x to 1.5x).
