The Importance of Professional Construction Cleaning
Why It's Not Just "Another Clean"
When it comes to construction cleaning in the Gold Coast, many might underestimate its importance. However, it’s not your typical cleaning job. We’re talking about a property that’s seen between 50 to 100 tradesmen over the course of construction. This kind of traffic doesn’t just bring dirt and grime; it invites an array of germs and bacteria. Consequently, a professional clean becomes indispensable before the final handover.
Cost Factors in Construction Cleaning
What Determines the Price?
Indeed, the cost of a construction clean can vary dramatically. While we don’t offer exact prices here, know that it’s calculated based on several factors. These include:
- the site’s cleanliness
- how many stages
- the number of rooms
- the property’s square meterage
- and the number of windows.
You can opt for cleaning services to be conducted 3-4 times before the final handover.
Equipment Matters
Why the Right Gear Makes All the Difference
Good equipment is crucial for a comprehensive construction clean. We prefer Karcher equipment along with other locally-sourced cleaning gear and chemicals. Proper machinery not only ensures that the job is done efficiently but also guarantees a level of clean that’s up to industry standards. At CleansePro Gold Coast, we know exactly what equipment and chemicals to use on site to not only get some of the hardest debris up but to also do it efficiently and cost effective. Starting with a high end, construction vacuum that can withstand some of the toughest debris is the best start. Make sure they use a filter and disposable bag system. This allows you to empty and change bags easily, it can be easily switched out between wet and dry vacuum on the fly and can withstand some of the toughest knocks and conditions some sites might throw at you.

Time Investments in Cleaning
No One-Size-Fits-All Time Frame
It’s hard to nail down how long a construction cleaning project will take. The timeline is influenced by the property’s size, the level of cleanliness, and the required cleaning tasks. Rest assured, our professionals will inspect the site thoroughly before sending out a quote.

Our expertise extends even to award-winning properties, making us a trusted name in the industry.

The sheer task to complete this during such strict laws were the hardest part but like we mentioned, we are not newbies at this and helped get it across the line.
The Step-by-Step Guide to Construction Cleaning
- Prepping the SiteThe first step in the cleaning process is to clear out any large debris and rubbish left behind. This usually involves vacuuming floors, cupboard spaces, ledges and any other areas that have collected construction debris. This prepares the site for the deep clean that will follow.
- Dusting and WipingNext, all surfaces need to be dusted and washed. Special care is given to window sills, door frames, and other nooks and crannies where dirt tends to accumulate. Removal of paint splatter, cement residue, plaster from window frames should be performed very carefully as some frames scrath and dent easily. A lot of paint, cement and plaster residue tend to accumulate on frames so specialised knowledge and equipement should be used when performing these tasks.
- Window CleaningWindows are one of the most visible parts of any construction site. They can make or break the look and feel to a brand new home so it is always recommended a professional window cleaner is used. They require specialised cleaning equipment and solutions to remove any paint, cement, dust, or stickers. This process is very difficult and could cost you a lot of money if mistakes are made so always contact the professionals.
- Floor CleaningAll types of flooring, from polished cement, hardwood to tiles, require their own specific cleaning techniques. For this, special cleaning solutions and equipment are employed. Always speak to the manufacturer or the builder incase you are uncertain what product to use when cleaning floors as some might require specific products to extend the life span.
- Final InspectionA final inspection by the builders ensures that all areas meet the cleaning standards. This includes double-checking hard-to-reach places and making sure that no spot is overlooked. It is recommended that inspections are performed throughout the entire clean while documenting it along the way. Not only does this hold your cleaners accountable, it documents the site along the way so you can always go back to ensure any damage or dirty areas were not your team. Additionally, this will also improve your credibility within the construction cleaning space and build trust with the builders for future job opportunities.
Please note this is not a comprehensive list. There is quite a lot that goes into a multi-stage construction clean so please do your own research when it comes to this.
