The Job Estimator makes all your cleaning job estimating a breeze, helping you to turn out estimates on large and small projects quickly, easily and accurately.

Cleaning job estimating is part science, part art. We take care of the scientific part for you, and you use your knowledge of conditions in your particular area of the country to modify the task codes, production rates and cost scales as needed.

It is important to estimate how long you need to send your employees into a facility for to perform the tasks necessary to accomplish an efficiently executed job. The Job Estimator allows you to list all tasks that need to be accomplished in each area of the facility. Then you can specify the frequency of each task, and the Job Estimator will calculate an estimate of how many person-hours will be needed per week and per month.

This lets you calculate your payroll and other costs, so you have an accurate idea of how much it’s going to cost you to perform the work. Then you add on your markup after making allowance for overhead distribution, and your estimate is available for you right on the computer screen or to print out.

The Job Estimator saves you from having to do much tedious calculation and helps you to prepare a professional looking proposal for your prospective client. Begin using the cleaning job estimating software tool that thousands of cleaners in the U.S. and other countries have been relying on for years for accurate workloading and job estimates.

The Job Estimator is simple to learn and use, but its power and time-saving features means it will pay for itself in no time at all!
