A comprehensive cleaning operation on a construction site typically involves 4 workers each putting in an 8-hour day. The cost for a day’s work ranges from $750 to $1,200, depending on the project’s scope. It’s important to note that pricing varies based on the type of project, as well as the specific requirements for scope and mobilization. For a detailed guide on post-construction cleanup pricing, it is suggested to download the pricing guide provided.

When project details are shared, the price quoted is a preliminary estimate, calculated at approximately 25 cents per square foot. To gain a precise understanding of costs, downloading the provided formula sheet is recommended. The practice of pre-qualifying with all General Contractors is advocated to ensure inclusion on their bid lists for both public and negotiated bid invitations.

A pre-bid site visit with the superintendent is advised—not mandatory but strongly recommended by project managers. This visit not only allows for an assessment of the project’s conditions (potentially leading to a lower bid if the site is already tidy) but also provides an opportunity to meet the superintendent directly, enhancing the likelihood of securing the project. Ideally, the site visit should occur as close to the completion of the project as possible, to accurately gauge the scope of cleaning needed.

In construction cleaning, it’s typical to operate during the project’s final stages, often alongside other trades. This can lead to challenges, such as tradespeople walking over freshly waxed floors or leaving debris on newly vacuumed areas. Such scenarios are to be expected and require coordination with other trades.

Working during the punch list phase is common, which involves addressing any elements not approved by the architect. Managing change orders effectively is crucial to avoid being unfairly tasked with additional cleaning without compensation. Ensuring that a superintendent signs off on completed rooms or authorizes extra hours for re-cleaning, with subsequent approval by the project manager, is a vital process. Promptly addressing change orders is the most effective strategy to prevent uncompensated re-cleaning due to the actions of other trades on site.
