Post-Construction Cleaning Bid & Crew Planner
Build the bid phase by phase instead of hiding a multi-pass project inside one price per square foot. Set your own production rates, add glass and specialty work, then make labor, overhead, re-clean risk and the completion deadline prove the number still works.

Compare project size, labor, price and margin across jobs.
Estimate from your own production history. Site condition, trade overlap, punch-list changes, access, glass, adhesive, debris and required quality level can materially change actual labor. Keep phase scope and exclusions in writing before work starts.
One price per square foot is an output, not the estimating method
A square-foot price is useful for comparing jobs after the math is done. It is dangerous as the entire model when rough clean, final clean and touch-up passes consume different labor. This calculator estimates each enabled phase separately, then converts the finished result back into a price per square foot for comparison.
Deadline pressure belongs in the bid review
A profitable 180-hour estimate is still a bad plan if two cleaners have three days to finish it. The crew planner compares estimated labor hours with crew size, workdays and daily paid hours, then shows the minimum staffing needed to make the entered window feasible.
Re-clean risk should not be invisible
Construction sites change after you clean them. A reserve can represent the long-run cost of legitimate punch-list return work, while explicit out-of-scope changes should become change orders instead of being absorbed indefinitely.
