Price cleaning quotes without a spreadsheet
Looking for software to price commercial cleaning quotes faster? HandwerkerBuddy turns a photo or a few sentences into a draft with post-construction cleaning per m², deep cleaning, windows per piece and sanitary areas. You check and send.
What makes cleaning quotes such a chore
Every property has different surfaces
New build after the interior fit-out, flat after tenants move out, office after renovation. The floor area is only part of it. Windows, frames, doors and door frames, radiators and sanitary areas come on top and are often forgotten.
Post-construction cleaning isn't routine cleaning
Building dust, paint splashes, silicone and adhesive residue take more time than the weekly clean. If you don't separate rough, fine and final builders' cleaning properly, your price will be too tight.
Site managers want the quote today
For post-construction cleaning, the handover date is fixed. Whoever sends a clear quote first gets the job. Typing up areas from plans in the evening costs exactly the time you don't have.
How your cleaning quote comes together
- 01
Photograph or describe the property
Photograph rooms, window fronts and the stairwell, or describe the property in a few sentences. Typed or dictated, in your language too.
- 02
The AI suggests line items
The app recognises the work and suggests line items with quantities, such as post-construction cleaning per m², window cleaning per window, doors and frames per piece. The quantities are a suggestion; you enter the real areas.
- 03
Check and send
You adjust areas and piece counts, enter your own prices and calculate with your hourly rate. The quote goes out by email as a PDF with your logo.
Example: post-construction cleaning of a new-build flat
New-build flat, around 85 square metres, interior fit-out finished. Building dust everywhere, paint splashes on some tiles. Eight windows inside and out, six internal doors with frames, one bathroom and one guest WC. Handover to the owner next week.

What the app brings for cleaning companies
Line items for builders' cleans and deep cleaning
Rough, fine and final post-construction cleaning per m², deep cleaning per m², final cleaning after painting work, window cleaning per window, frames, doors and door frames, radiators, stairwells and pressure washing of facades per m².
Routine cleaning with your own rates
For recurring routine cleaning, you enter your own line items and prices. If a price is missing or unchecked, the app marks it clearly so that nothing unchecked ends up with the customer.
Invoicing and bookkeeping in one app
Order confirmation, invoice locked in line with GoBD (German bookkeeping rules), receipt scanning for cleaning products and materials, time tracking for your cleaning staff, EÜR (simplified profit statement) and DATEV export.
Made for multilingual teams
In cleaning, lots of languages work side by side. The app can be used in 22 languages, and the quote to the customer is in German. The quoting AI runs in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main.

FAQ: HandwerkerBuddy for commercial cleaning
What does the cleaning software cost?
Prices haven't been set yet. Signing up is free, and you'll be the first to hear what the app costs when commercial cleaning launches.
Does the app calculate the area itself?
The AI suggests quantities, it doesn't measure. You enter the square metres from the floor plan or your own measurements, or correct the suggestion.
Can I charge windows per piece or by area?
The catalogue has window cleaning per window, inside, outside or both, and frames as a separate line item. If you charge by glass area, you create your own line item with your price for that.
Is the app also suitable for routine cleaning?
For the quote, yes, with your own line items and prices. The catalogue focuses on post-construction, final and deep cleaning.
Can I send e-invoices to business customers?
Invoices locked in line with GoBD are available. E-invoicing in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format (German e-invoice standards) is planned and still to come.
When can I start with commercial cleaning?
Commercial cleaning is part of the second wave. There's no fixed date yet. Sign up and we'll get in touch.
