About CPQ
CPQ combines the cleaning industry’s best estimating tools and resources and the skills of some Brazilian Excel gurus with the experience of a long-term professional in the cleaning business.
For more than 30 years Ismar Oliveira has been estimating and pricing large and complex tenders for cleaning, security and associated services.
He’s priced tenders for educational sites like University of Sydney, venues like Sydney Olympic Village and Fox Studios, commercial buildings of property managers like Jones Lang Lasalle and AMP, and shopping centres for owners like Westfield and GPT Group.
He’s learned from experience (quite often the hard way) about the traps that await the estimator preparing a cleaning tender, and the heavy costs that can result from even the smallest errors, wrong assumptions or omissions.
And he’s wrestled with requests from increasingly discerning customers – who want to see price breakdowns for a service by floor or area, or want graphs that show them visually the coverage they’re being promised.
