Post-Construction Cleanup: Where To Start
Construction
Posted by: SiteWorx 3 years ago
Major construction and renovation projects are exciting, but the average person often doesn’t realize the mess they leave behind once the project is complete.
Finishing the construction project isn’t the last step. Post-construction cleanup is a vital part of the process.
What Is Post-Construction Cleaning?
This can cover all cleaning activities that happen once construction is complete. Whether you’re focusing on outdoor or indoor areas, post-construction cleanup is important.
Exterior Cleaning Can Include
- Trash Removal
- Dumpster Removal
- Removal of Construction Materials
- Power Wash Walkways, Driveways, Sidewalks, etc.
- Sweep Debris From Patios & Porches
Interior Cleaning Can Include
- Construction Debris Removal
- Cleaning All Fixtures & Appliances
- Interior & Exterior Window Cleaning
- Dust Removal
- HVAC System Cleaning
This type of cleaning is something you don’t want to try to undertake on your own. It is incredibly thorough and is made much easier by professionals using industrial-grade cleaning tools. It’s also a process that can be handled quickly by professionals.
If you try to take on the heavy load of post-construction cleaning yourself, you’ll need to plan to dedicate up to a week to complete the process safely.
Discuss The Process With Your Contractor
Whether you’re working with us at SiteWorx or have hired a different contractor, it’s important to discuss both construction site protection and cleanup.
Your contractor should be able to walk you through the process, giving you steps to protect any property that is staying in the renovation zone. This can include covering furniture, sealing closet doors, covering floors, etc.
Be sure to ask your post-construction cleanup contractor how they clear the air and clean your HVAC system to ensure your home or business is safe to use post-renovation.
