Commercial Cleaning
Walk-Through / Bid Walk
A walk-through, or bid walk, is the on-site visit a cleaning vendor makes before quoting, inspecting the facility to measure areas, assess soil load, and confirm scope so the bid reflects real conditions.
In Depth
During the walk the estimator notes floor types, fixtures, restroom counts, traffic, and special requirements. Many buyers require a mandatory walk so all bidders price the same observed scope.
Why It Matters
Quotes given without a walk-through are guesses that often change after the contract starts. A bid walk produces accurate, comparable pricing and fewer surprises.
