Silicone has not even been put into many of these joints it seems.
It this type of job within your ability?
Without a finished product its hard to tell what will be on the glass when you arrive to clean it.

Honestly though with all those pics if I lived in the USA i would track the job down and put in my own bid, coz I would asking for opinions after I put my bid in and it was accepted.
At $20 a pane I imagine its that price coz you intend not to use a blade to ensure zero scratching?

I dont think youll get the job at $20 maybe $8. The windows dont look that bad. Seems you are new to ccu bidding, as you are asking us for help, so let me go a step further : CCU stinks! Its for guys who cant get enough of anything else (been there) so asking people who dont do it so much anymore is tricky. I can tell you how much i would charge but my price represents a mentality of “i gotta make a lot to do that junk!” Not only is it harder work but there is a lot more liability risks with hard debris on the glass. Especially now that everyone wants energy efficient glass.

I agree with this statement. When it comes to CCU you can’t underbid the job. Ever. You might not get the job, but in my book that’s perfectly fine.

My advice is take your normal window price for commercial and multiply it by 3-5x and then add 10-30% on top of that and then take whatever time you THINK it might take you and multiply 1.5 to 2x to it.

You look at the glass and say, oh, it’s not too bad, then as soon as you start cleaning you realize it really is that bad and then the job kicks your butt and you just want to go home…

If you haven’t done ccu before, you will get your butt kicked the first few times unless you tell yourself it’s always going to take longer than you think.

Oh and get a waiver signed before doing anything.

I’m not sure what the pricing is like there. But it’s better to charge an appropriate amount and lose it than underbid it. We charge a lot for CCU and lose most bids but that’s OK.

It’s always more work than anticipated. We’re in socal so $15-$25 is still high but not obscene.

Thanks so is that 144 inside out or just one side

Since the client wants a bid already, stipulate that your bid is based on condition of the windows at the time of the bid. That could very much change by the time the other work is done! Also, you will hate your line of work if you underbid. That bears repeating - you will hate your line of work if you underbid. Oh yea, you will also kick yourself if you underbid. DO GET a SCRATCH WAIVER signed ahead of time.
