When you guys measure a commercial business, say Movie Gallery, do you try to subtract out the shelving where the movies sit. Is there a certain percentage you try to take out before presenting a bid?

I don't take any footage out, if it was empty, it would take less time than going around everything

30 years ago today Mr. York taught us to sell clean carpets not carpet cleaning. Who'da known he'd be SO RIGHT????

I dont always subtract.
But if over 1/2 the store is shelving,, I do.
Or I dont write down the sq. footage and allow them to wonder.
I just give them a price and sell myself, My company , Clean and good service. Thats what comes with the price.

You just have to sort of play it by ear and get accustomed and experienced as you go. It gets easier.

1st i was gonna agree with Brian, but now i agree with Stever. i never really think about it, but if it happens to be LOTS of shelves with very narrow aisles that are free from obstruction, THEN instead of wall-to-wall measurement, i only measure those narrow aisles.
