The clean that stands between a build and a turnover date.
Rough, final and touch-up phases, sequenced against the general contractor calendar. We clean the building in the order the trades actually finish it, not in the order that looks tidy on a schedule.
Scheduling is most of this job
Post-construction cleaning fails on timing, not on effort. A crew that finals a suite on Tuesday watches a trade reopen the ceiling on Wednesday, and the work gets paid for twice or fought over once.
We plan the phases against the construction schedule and we ask the question most cleaners skip: which areas are actually closed out. Rough clean where the trades are still working, final where they are finished, touch-up after punch list.
Construction dust is also not office dust. It is fine, abrasive and it settles for days after the visible mess is gone. That is why the final phase includes surfaces nobody thinks about: vent faces, door frame tops, light coves and the inside of cabinets.
- Phases
- Rough, final, touch-up after punch
- Coordination
- Against the GC schedule, area by area
- Crew size
- Scaled to the turnover date
- Access
- Nights and weekends when trades are off site
- Debris
- Haul-off and disposal coordinated on site
- Handoff
- Walked with the GC or owner rep
What is included
Quoted per phase, so a rough clean is never priced as if it were a final.
Rough clean
- Construction debris collection and haul to the site container
- Gross dust knockdown on all horizontal surfaces
- Sweep and shop-vac of all floor areas
- Sticker, label and packaging removal from fixtures
- Removal of excess drywall compound and paint overspray
- Broom finish so the next trade can work cleanly
Final and touch-up
- Detail clean of every surface, fixture, frame and reveal
- Construction film and adhesive removal from glass and metal
- Interior and exterior window cleaning to second floor
- Duct, vent and diffuser face dust extraction
- Cabinet, drawer and closet interior detail
- Appliance, plumbing and light fixture polish
- Hard floor first-cycle clean and initial finish where specified
- Post punch-list touch-up on corrected areas
How the work runs
Read the schedule
We start from the construction calendar and identify which areas will genuinely be closed out, and when.
Quote by phase
Rough, final and touch-up priced separately, with crew size matched to the turnover date.
Work with the trades
Crews on site when trades are off, coordinated with the superintendent so nothing gets cleaned twice.
Walk the handoff
Final walk with the GC or owner rep, and a touch-up return after punch list corrections.
Who hires this program
General contractors, developers and owners with a date they cannot move.
General contractors
Phased cleaning across a full build, invoiced per phase against the schedule of values.
Tenant improvement
Suite build-outs in occupied buildings, cleaned without disturbing the floors still working.
Medical build-outs
Clinical spaces requiring fine dust removal before equipment installation and inspection.
Retail rollouts
New store fits scheduled tight against an announced opening date.
Renovation
Occupied-building renovations where dust control between phases decides everything.
Property owners
Turnover cleaning before a certificate of occupancy walk or a first tenant handoff.
The first air in the building is our problem too
A newly finished building is full of construction dust and off-gassing from fresh finishes. What gets used in the final clean decides what the first occupants walk into.
- HEPA-filtered vacuums and extraction, so fine dust is captured rather than stirred
- Low-VOC products on freshly finished surfaces
- Debris separated for recycling where the site container allows
- Water use controlled, which also protects new finishes and substrates
- Documented product list handed over for the building file
