There are several on-line commercial cleaning bid generators like http://www.cleaningalliance.com that allow you to input the information based on your client and generate a professional bid that you can print and send to your potential client. This site also offers a commercial cleaning calculator that can give you an estimate for the cleaning based on square footage, type of office, hourly wage of workers and clientele.

There are several things you must determine. First; the cleaning frequency (is it 5 times a week or 21.6 times a month). Next you need to know the cleaning requirements (will it be a deep clean nightly or a partial clean 4 nights and a deep clean one night). Other things you must consider are the expectation levels (immaculate white glove cleaning or a quick touch up), occupancy density (high, med or low) use of the building (heavy, med or light) as they all come into play.
From this you can develop an estimated production rate. A 26K building might run from 2,600 to 4,200 sq. ft. per hour depending upon all the above variables. So this building could run from 6-10 hours per night. Then you would start with your local janitorial labor rate, add payroll expenses, all of your overhead and then a net profit (most likely 20-30%). Your quote will be for the monthly amount.

Then, you divide the monthly price by the total cleanable net square footage to arrive at your current price per square foot. This pricing formula only works on five days per week cleaning frequencies.You should also know the monthly net profit percentage to compare your buildings and see if your bidding practices are earning you the required amounts. Normally, the spread would be around 15-18 cents per square foot for small buildings, 10-14 cents for medium and below 9 cents for large. Location and cleaning specifications vary from building to building.Square footage pricing is a fast way to ballpark a bid. However, it lacks the ability to adjust to specific cleaning tasks that may be added; it does not include floor and carpet care and does not adjust for specific cleaning variables. To handle all these ingredients we have developed JanBid Estimating Solutions to make all the comparisons instantly. Details and free advice are at [See related link below for the website].

You take 280 times 10 and then divide that by 14 which equals 200 ft.
3000 sq-ft multiplied by $10=$30,000 (you would multiply your square-footage by your cost per sq-ft)
