hey guys, wondering if you could help me out on a little (big) bidding question. I'm new to the business and I was asked to give a bid for an entire condo complex. here's the scoop: 23 buildings, (276 units) each building is 3 stories tall, about 9 windows per unit, with an average size of 5 feet tall, and 2.5 feet wide. Comes out to 2,484 windows.... Wow, where do I start? How long would something like this take? oh, and screens on about half of the windows... I would extremely appreciate any input... thanks again...

First question you have to have answered is what are their needs? Do they need someone to come in at the time of a move out to do the windows, or do they just want the whole exterior of every building done. (I can't imagine they want int/ext of every building.)
You might be able to pitch them something like a semi-annual exterior cleaning (APR & OCT), with the flexibility of being on call to do move outs (if you can do so).
If that's the case, I would consider charging about small house rates (assuming that you bid things per window & as long as you're not into the price gouging I've seen some companies do) and doing slightly less than 1/2 of that for the whole exterior... as long as they're not security screens, or anything over 2-3 stories.
If they have security screens (or screens that only come out from the inside), forget about doing the exterior. Period.
I don't know how AZ prices go... but if you can work it out like I suggested, I'd say total combined for the year could work out somewhere in the ballpark of $7.5k-$10k (gestimating your price range, I'm in CA).
