What Post-Construction Cleaning Involves
Internal finishes
Full dust-down of all internal surfaces, joinery, fixtures and fittings. Paint, render, adhesive and silicone spot removal from walls, glass and finishes. Kitchens, bathrooms and wet areas detailed and sanitised, including skirtings, sills, tracks, switches and vents.
Glazing and windows
Internal and external window cleaning, including glass balustrades, splashbacks, mirrors and shower screens. Frames, tracks and screens detailed, with all stickers and labels removed from glazing and fixtures.
Floors and external areas
Vacuum, mop and detail all floor types, ready for inspection. Garages, entryways, balconies, external paths and surrounds cleared of construction debris, with trade waste and rubbish removed from work areas.
Final detail and handover presentation
The finishing pass a client notices: sticker and label removal, fingerprint and smudge removal, spot-cleaning and a full presentation check. Staged delivery aligned to your build sequence so completed areas can be handed over progressively.

How we run a post-construction clean
Pre-start Site Inspection
Our team attends site to walk the project with your site supervisor or project manager. We assess floor areas, surface types, glazing quantities, ceiling types, access requirements, and programme constraints before quoting.
Documented Scope of Work
Every post-construction clean receives a written scope detailing the cleaning tasks, areas covered, exclusions, and sign-off process. This scope becomes the quality benchmark that both parties work to.
Scaled Resourcing
Every project needs the right number of people on site at the right time. We scale our teams to match your programme, from a small crew of 4-6 to large teams of 15+ for multi-storey and multi-stage projects.
Supervisor on Site
Every job has a Build Clean supervisor on site coordinating the team, managing quality, and liaising with your project manager. You deal with one point of contact, not a rotating cast of cleaners.
Safety Compliance as Standard
All team members hold White Cards and are inducted to your site requirements. We provide SWMS, MSDS, and Certificates of Currency before mobilisation. We work within your site safety systems, not around them.
Defect Clean Support
After the initial clean, trades return for defect rectification. We provide defect cleans on an agreed schedule to keep the site at presentation standard through to practical completion and beyond.

FAQ
What is post-construction cleaning?
Post-construction cleaning is the thorough clean carried out after building or renovation work is finished. It removes construction dust, debris, paint and adhesive residue and details every surface so the property is ready for handover or occupation. It is also called an after builders clean or final clean.
What is the difference between post-construction cleaning and a builders clean?
They often describe the same outcome. A builders clean usually refers to the first heavy clean once trades are off site; a post-construction or final clean is the detailed presentation clean before handover. Build Clean delivers both, staged or combined.
What is included in a builders clean?
A full builders clean includes a detailed clean of all internal areas, joinery, fixtures, glazing, bathrooms, and floors. We remove dust, paint overspray, grout haze, adhesive, and construction debris, leaving the project ready for inspection or handover. The exact scope is confirmed in writing before we start.
Do you offer both builders and final cleans?
Yes. We perform both builders cleans (after trades, before defects) and final or sparkle cleans (presentation clean before client handover). We also offer pre-silicone cleans to prepare surfaces before caulking.
Do you include window cleaning?
Yes. Internal and external window cleaning can be included in your package. This covers all glazing, frames, tracks, balustrades, mirrors, and shower screens. For more detail, see our dedicated window cleaning page.
Do you work after hours or weekends?
Yes. We can schedule after-hours or weekend builders cleaning to meet project deadlines and avoid disrupting other trades. Availability and timing are confirmed upfront when booking.
What products and methods do you use?
We use pH-neutral, construction-safe chemicals suitable for premium finishes. All cleaners are trained in the safe use of cleaning agents and equipment, including stainless, stone, and glazing surfaces. No harsh or abrasive chemicals are used that could damage finishes.
Do you provide safety and compliance documentation?
Yes. All Build Clean staff hold White Cards and are trained in construction site safety. We supply SWMS, MSDS, and Certificates of Currency with every project to meet builder and WHS requirements.
Can you manage multiple sites for the same builder?
Yes. We provide multi-site cleaning contracts across residential and commercial projects, ensuring consistent quality, documentation, and invoicing across all locations.
Do you remove trade waste and debris?
Yes. As part of our construction cleaning service, we remove light trade debris and waste from work areas before detailing surfaces. For large-scale rubbish removal, we coordinate directly with the site manager for skip or bin arrangements.
How soon can you start?
We can usually attend site within 24 to 48 hours depending on your location and project size. With over 150 staff nationwide, we maintain flexible scheduling for urgent or last-minute cleans.
Which areas do you service?
We provide builders cleaning services across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, and the Sunshine Coast. Each location is fully staffed and locally managed for fast response and consistent quality.
