I am planning on obtaining some commercial contracts next season and need some help with pricing these class B and C type properties for yearly contracts.
Here are some examples if anyone could provide me with some good pricing help, I would love it.
All work is assumed with three man crew.
1. McDonalds type restaurants-Takes one hour to mow each week and two to three times a year trim hedges and mulch, and that takes about 3 hours.
2. Banks-About 5000 sq. ft. of lawn, takes about 1 hour or less to maintain grass and property areas. Hedge trimming takes about 3 hours with cleanup and mulch and is done two to three times per year.
3. Neighborhood common areas-Takes half day to mow all grass areas and full day to do trimming of hedges, etc. with mulch?
4. Small outdoor malls-Takes half day to mow, full day for all trimmings again with mulch three times a year.
We mow about 32 times a year here and the economy is strong in this area. I am getting into this area some how or other, so I would love help pricing. I read Nilson's book on getting commercial contracts, was great and truly informative. I recommend it to anyone. However, he says that most commercial props. will ask for references and I only have residentials to offer. So how can I penetrate this market? I love hearing from you guys, so I anticipate hearing from you all.
Thanks in advance,
