Plan post-construction cleaning before work begins and handover.

A post-construction cleaning only starts to make sense when construction progress, residues, surfaces and handover dates fit together. This checklist organizes the necessary information.

Setting a realistic deadline

Too early cleaning produces duplicate work.

If crafts work continues, doors are missing or material is constantly moved, cleaned areas pollute again. Therefore, clarify which works are completed and who enters the area after cleaning.

This checklist helps with organizational preparation. It is not a substitute for building acceptance, defect testing or professional assessment of materials.

Project uptake

Examine four areas separately

Thus, open work and cleaning scope are not mixed together.

Construction progress

  • Dust-causing work completed
  • Installations and fittings completed
  • Protective film clarified under jurisdiction
  • Follow-up work and remaining dates known

Areas and residues

  • Floor and wall areas by material
  • Windows, frames and fittings
  • Paint, glue, mortar or building dust
  • Marking sensitive locations

Logistics and transfer

  • Access, elevator and carrying distance
  • Electricity, water and lighting
  • Route of waste and disposal
  • Control person and handover date

Scope of work

Unknown residues do not promise blanket.

The appropriate procedure depends on material, soiling and access. In the case of sensitive or unknown surfaces, a sample surface may be useful.

Disposal, window work and periodic additional work should be clarified as separate positions. Thus, the quote remains traceable.

Consider cost factors of post-construction cleaning
