"To bid a job, use the window cleaning bidding book to estimate the number of hours it will take, then multiply that by your hourly rate and quote the result to the customer." http://www.detroitsponge.com/e-Course-u9.aspx
I have John Baxter's Book on the subject, "straight talk about window cleaning bidding" but I hav'nt come across anything about how many hours it will take to do x amount of windows, yet.
Am I missing something, or are we speaking of another book ?
Thanks
Brian

Thanks, Chris...but that's not the answer I'm looking for. I like to know what book their talking about or what part of Baxter's book that is mentioned seeing that's only one detroit sponge sells |

Here is something I got from an on line resource:
Our bidding for commercial work NOW IS A COMBINATION of a per window price, and the time it takes to complete the work. The time portion is based on forty dollars per hour, and we have broken it down into 5-minute increments for bidding jobs. This timetable is detailed for you below:
05 minutes = $4.00 10 minutes = $7.00 15 minutes = $10.00 20 minutes = $13.00 | 25 minutes = $16.00 30 minutes = $20.00 35 minutes = $23.00 40 minutes = $26.00 | 50 minutes = $33.00 55 minutes = $36.00 60 minutes = $40.00 |
Obviously, when you offer a bid you must estimate your time, but we find that this becomes relatively easy with experience. As a new window washer you can begin with a per window price, and then try our timetable if you wish. hope this helps, clb
