No matter how careful the builders have been it's almost certain that a specialist after-builders clean using a commercial cleaning company will mean moving into new or refurbished buildings can be done more smoothly.
It is so much more comfortable, and efficient, to install furniture and other equipment then move into a building that is clean, well ordered and ready to use.
There should be no stray nails, paint splashes, dust, sawdust, smeared windows, loose fittings or any other issues if a professional cleaning company has been the last contractor on site and done a thorough inspection and deep clean.
Their knowledge of the way building contracts can sometimes overrun or turn up last-minute problems means most specialist after-build cleaning companies will have the flexibility and resources to be able to turn up at short notice or accommodate changes at late notice.
They should be able to demonstrate that they take Health and Safety very seriously and their standard practise should include a proper risk assessment at the site and a proper statement of the cleaning methods to be used.
A meeting with the construction company's project manager is important for the cleaning company to gather accurate information about any special materials used and what products and materials are appropriate for cleaning them without damage. Construction cleaning technicians will then be able to arrive on site fully equipped with the best equipment, all safety clothing and materials for the work.
Cleaning staff should have received COSSH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) if chemicals are involced in the cleaning process.
Their attention to detail will make it possible for them to supply a full report of all they have done in the building as part of the clean-up and also highlight anything that needs further attention from the builders.
It's possible that the cleaning company may also offer induction, retraining and regular H & S audits for the staff who will be using, maintaining and cleaning the building once it has been handed back to its owners.
It may be an extra cost but a specialist after-build clean is an investment that could be particularly important for peace of mind in public buildings like hospitals and schools. However, it is a useful extra step for any commercial space that will have to accommodate large numbers of people, both employees and visiting clients or members of the public.
It cuts down the amount of time needed for moving in and also allows for the peoople who are to use it to get gong quickly and efficiently, which is an important consideration for any organisation that people depend on to supply essential services.
Moving into an already clean and fully functional building can be good for staff morale too if after a period of disruption during building renovation they find everything in working order with no risk of damage to clothing or possessions.
