Cleanup Calculator
This tool enables your entire team to accurately price construction projects without the need for specialized training or intricate knowledge of pricing techniques. No longer will the responsibility of pricing fall solely on the shoulders of the estimator – the Ganarpro Calculator invites everyone on the team to contribute to bidding and estimating, fostering increased efficiency and precision.
The Ganarpro Calculator is specifically tailored for construction cleanup calculations, ensuring that your final clean bid amount is not just a ballpark figure but a meticulously calculated estimate accounting for costs, profits, and different cleaning phases. It offers detailed estimates per square foot and by the number of units, enabling you to input the square footage of a building and receive an accurate price and profit breakdown, along with an itemized outline of your costs.
Bid amount section
Allows you to calculate a price for the customer using four methods: by square foot, by number of units, by day, or you can combine square feet and number of units. Add any relevant notes in the top project details box. Each estimate requires a name. Select your state to adjust the price based on the cost of living, and choose the building project type for more accurate pricing. Additionally, select the number of phases (rough, final, and fluff) included in your scope of work.
Advanced Bid Amount Section:
Includes options to:
– Increase Price for Davis Bacon – Prevailing Wage By default, 30% is added to the bid amount. This percentage can be adjusted.
– Increase Price for Union Requirement: By default, 70% is added to the bid amount. This percentage can be adjusted.
– Add External Window Cleaning Pricing: For buildings above the first story, you can add up to 50 stories to increase your exterior window cleaning price, which includes all labor, supplies, and equipment expenses. Alternatively, you can count the number of window panes and add external window cleaning by window count.
It is more common to see a total unit count rather than segmentation by 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms. If you do not have segmentation for 2 or 3 bedrooms, you can include those figures in the total unit count and configure your bid amount based on the price per unit.
Pressure Washing: Priced by square footage. The default price is 30 cents per square foot, which can be adjusted to add pressure washing costs to your bid amount.
Cost & Profit Section:
This section is for your use only to estimate the costs you will incur to complete the project. It is not a cost that someone will pay you, but rather the estimated expenses based on the building size. You can hide this section if you do not wish to see the Ganarpro estimated cost and profit analysis.
Key inputs
Building Sq. Ft size- Main price factor is cleanable square footage.
State – Locations have different labor costs.
Price per sq ft – Default method for pricing, uses Building Sq. Ft size x State selection.
Price per unit – Enter a number of units/ rooms your project contains.
Price per day – Enter number of days your crew will work on site.

Customizing
Bid Amount Section:
In the results section, press “Customize” to change your bid amount or adjust your square foot price. If you save your estimate, the calculator will remember your last selected square foot price. The saved square foot price is based on the location and the building project type. For example, if you change the price for retail, final clean, and Ohio, only that price is adjusted. The saved square foot price is remembered by state, selected phases, and building project type.
If you switch from price per square foot to price per unit, you can customize the price per unit similarly. The price per unit, along with the location, project type, and number of phases, is saved. For instance, if you adjust the price per unit for Michigan, a 3-phase clean, and a multi-family project type, that saved price will only apply to that specific selection.
Cost and Profit Section:
You can customize:
– The expected number of laborers on the job site
– The amount you pay each laborer or their hours worked per day
– The number of days you will work
Additionally, you can customize the supplies cost allocation percentage, the $10 allocated per employee for mobilization costs, and your outside sales percentage, insurance overhead, and other administrative overhead costs.
Note.If you do not have an active subscription, you cannot customize or save an estimate. To customize, you must save the estimate for the calculator to remember your settings.
