4 Reasons to Get Construction Cleaning Services Following Construction or Renovation

Construction & Contractors Blog

If your home or office has just been extensively renovated, you are probably wondering what to do with all the debris left over. This is where post-construction cleaners come in handy: they can help you to get rid of all the leftover waste, building materials, dust and buildup, leaving your space sparkling clean and ready for use. The following are just a few reasons to consider getting a professional to handle this important task.

1. Health and safety

Cleaning out a construction site is physically demanding: there's a lot of hands-on heavy-lifting, carrying, scrubbing, moving etc. – if you're not accustomed to this kind of work, you will tire out quickly and even hurt yourself in the process. Professional cleaners are well-versed with this kind of work, and will be able to do it without endangering you or themselves.

In addition, some cleaning may need harsh chemicals whose fumes/handling may be dangerous and/or toxic. Rather than incur the additional costs of personal protective gear that you'll not use afterwards, you can get professionals who are already equipped as well as trained to handle these chemicals without endangering anyone.

2. Job duty segregation

In an office setting, it isn't part of your employees' job descriptions to perform such major clean-ups following extensive renovations or construction work. To expect them to do so would not only demoralise them, it could form actionable grounds against you. Instead, professional cleaners can get the job done faster while allowing your employees to focus on their real areas of expertise.

3. Speed

In the construction period, you probably had to make alternative arrangements to stay/work from somewhere else while the work went on, and you're eager to return to your normal home or work life. Professional cleaners, having tackled construction cleaning jobs many times, have the experience, manpower and machinery needed to work efficiently and speedily; much faster than you would be able to. They know how to prioritize tasks to give the best quality job in the shortest time possible.

4. Convenience

Handling post-construction clean-up demands coordination of many different tasks: waste removal and disposal, getting protective gear, getting cleaning supplies and equipment/machinery and acquiring manpower to clean and supervise cleaning among others. Remember also that certain waste products from construction jobs and even the cleaning process require special handling and disposal. Given the scale involved, you may not be equipped to handle all the necessary tasks, and the job could take much longer and cost much more than you think you'll save by doing it yourself.
