Scope per visit
Light vs deep vs specialist (carpets, façade, hard-floor). Each line item priced separately.
- 04
Compliance overhead
Medical (ATP + chemistry), childcare (WWC + NQF), industrial (WAH + JSA/SWMS) — costed as a line, not buried.

Geography
CBD/inner city base price. Outer metro and regional factor in travel + dispatch repositioning.

Single-site vs multi-site
Multi-site contracts attract a portfolio rate. One Boomerang portal, one account manager, one consolidated invoice.
