The global economic crisis has given the construction industry a tough couple of years.
But
winning contracts has always been a highly competitive business cutting profit
margins to the bone.
You
not only need to be sure your employees and sub-contractors are skilled enough
to do the job to the standards you've promised to the client, you need to be
sure you can deliver the job on time. Tri-K

Good
project and site managers are obviously essential to keep on top of the job,
ensuring supplies are adequate and there on time, making sure each step of the
work schedule happens and in the right order with no delays, trouble-shooting
the almost-inevitable hitches, ensuring Health and Safety rules are followed.
Of
course, you've promised to leave a clean and tidy completed project and these
days most building workers know they have to clean up their bit of the job. Home

But
working under pressure even the most careful craftsman won't be able to avoid
the occasional dropped nail, curl of shaving, sawdust and cement dust. Sweeping
up still leaves dust hanging in the air for weeks after a job's done.
It
could make your construction company stand out and build you a reputation when
bidding for new contracts if you invest in a thorough, specialist builders
clean before hand-over. Especially for prestige projects it could be money well
spent if the windows are free of the smallest paint splatter and the floors are
smooth, free of plaster splashes and most importantly dust. Commercial

What
sorts of things should you expect when you're considering a post-build cleaning
service? Before the job starts they should be willing to walk the site with you
to identify any special features or materials and provide a risk assessment for
the whole job. Commercial

First
and foremost you'll want to be convinced of their attention to detail. There
should be no sign of dirt, bags of rubbish, packing materials, offcuts, nails,
broken glass, scuffs, footprints, sticky patches, stains, smeared windows or
mysterious pools of liquid when they've finished.
The
environment is playing an increasing role in the commissioning of construction
and building, so if there are any materials not already sent for recycling you
might want to ask if the cleaning company does so, especially if you need to provide
evidence to client or planning authority that the building process has been as
environmentally friendly as possible. James

The
builders clean company should have specialist equipment for extracting as much
dust as possible and leaving surfaces sparkling.
They
should understand what can and can't be used on the materials you've used in
the building, and if, it involves using chemicals, the COSSH regulations for
handling hazardous substances. Building jobs do occasionally overrun through
no-one's fault so ideally the cleaning company should be flexible, able to
provide emergency cover or change their cleaning times at short notice. Industrial

The
cleaning company could also be an extra pair of eyes for quality control by
providing you with a list of anything they come across that is damaged, not
quite finished or needing attention after their job's done. Handing over a
sparkling clean, ready-to-occupy building to your client can benefit both you
and the specialist after-build cleaner with an unbeatable reputation that helps
you both successfully bit for future contracts.
