Winning
contracts has always been a highly competitive business for the Construction
Industry so anything that can give a company the edge is to be welcomed.
An
extra service that could help is completing the job with a specialist Builders'
Clean before you hand over.
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. Tri-K

On
even the most tidily-managed jobs dust can be a problem and it can hang around
in the air for weeks after completion of a new build.
Since
dust is recognised as a major cause of allergies demonstrating to a client that
you've done all you can to reduce the risk for the building's eventual
occupants could help add to your construction company's good reputation so that
you stand out from the competition. Home

Dust
is actually made up of minute particles of bug fragments, mould spores, bits of
plastic and other materials and can be a particular problem in the winter when
doors and windows are kept closed. The tiny dust mites living in the dust are
what cause the allergic reaction.
Dust
allergies can result in symptoms ranging from asthma through itchy, watery eyes
to repeated sneezing, eczema and a runny nose. Commercial

Of
course there are many other causes of allergic reactions, some of them as a
result of the various chemicals used in the making of carpets and laminates.
Using
a specialist Builders' Clean after the construction work is done, especially
from a company that uses environmentally-friendly, non allergenic cleaning
products will show your client you're willing to do that little bit extra and
could earn you a reference you can use to promote your company in the future. Commercial

When
you're considering hiring a post-build cleaning service with this in mind there
are a number of points you might want them to pay attention to.
You
might want to list the materials that have been used during construction and
check they have the correct materials to clean them to ensure surfaces are not damaged.
But you might also ask whether the cleaning materials they use are
environmentally friendly and preferably non-allergenic or natural cleaning
agents containing a minimum of chemicals. James

Concern
for the environment is becoming an integral part of building and commissioning
projects, so you could perhaps ask if the cleaning company recycles as much as
possible and disposes of everything safely. After all, you might be asked to
provide evidence to the client or the planning authority that the process has
been as environmentally friendly as possible. Industrial

Another
question to ask the cleaning company is whether it has robust specialist
equipment capable of extracting as much dust as possible.
If
they are using any chemicals in cleaning do they abide by the COSSH regulations
for handling hazardous substances.
Finally,
as building projects sometimes overrun or there are last-minute changes, you
need the cleaning company to be flexible and able to change their cleaning
times at short notice if the job overruns. Home

The
company should also provide you with a list of anything they spot that is
damaged, not quite finished off or in need of attention when their job's done.
Handing
your client a clean, ready-to-occupy building that's as free as possible of
potential causes of allergies can give both you and the specialist after-build
cleaner with an unbeatable reputation that helps you both successfully bid for
future contracts.
