FAQ

Post-construction

What is included in post-construction cleaning?
Rough clean removes debris and dust; final clean details fixtures, glass, and floors before turnover. Define both phases in the contract.
Should post-construction be priced per square foot?
Many contractors quote per square foot with a walkthrough. Heavily soiled sites need a custom bid.
Do I need extra insurance for builders?
General contractors often require higher liability limits and additional insured status on your policy.
Can I use this checklist for commercial build-outs?
Yes. Add lobby, elevator, and loading dock sections for commercial sites.
