What is final construction cleaning?

This final clean of the construction site includes both interior and exterior areas. As well as eliminating contamination and waste, any harmful substances are also removed. A final construction clean can be divided into three phases: intermediate cleaning, end-of-construction cleaning and deep cleaning after completion of construction work.

Deep cleaning after construction work: an explanation of responsibilities
Deep cleaning takes place after approval of construction work in order to make the newly renovated or converted spaces habitable and ready for occupancy. The last traces of dirt and dust are removed from all objects and surfaces to eliminate slip hazards and ensure safety. Tradespeople are responsible for cleaning their own area of work and removing coarse dirt after completion of the project. The detailed deep clean is then carried out by the owner or an external cleaning service provider.
