Post-construction cleanup is a crucial phase of any construction project, as it ensures that the site is left in a safe and clean condition for opening day. This is a meticulous process involving the removal of debris, waste and excess materials from the job site.
Our team here at BellRose Janitorial Services understands the sheer amount of work required to get a post-construction property up to spec. Today, we’re going to break down the different phases, while highlighting the importance of each step, and the best practices for completing each phase efficiently and effectively.
PHASE 1: DEBRIS REMOVAL
The first phase of post-construction cleanup involves removing a lot of debris from the site, including construction waste, broken materials, and excess materials that are no longer needed. This phase is absolutely critical, since it sets the stage for the rest of the cleanup process. This allows our team to move about freely and safely, so we can get down to the nitty-gritty!
We remove all large debris such as broken concrete, steel beams and wooden framing, while clearing the site of small debris like nails, screws and other small metal fragments. If necessary, we dispose of hazardous materials like asbestos, lead, and other toxic substances that can be harmful to health.
PHASE 2: SORTING AND SEGREGATING
Once the debris has been thoroughly removed, the next phase of the cleanup job involves sorting and segregating the remaining materials into different categories. This phase is important, as it helps us identify materials that can be recycled or reused. We can also separate hazardous materials from non-hazardous materials, and organize them for disposal or storage.Â
PHASE 3: DEMOLITION DEBRIS DISPOSAL
We then remove and dispose of materials that are no longer needed, such as asbestos materials, lead-based paint, hazardous chemicals, broken concrete and masonry. This particular phase requires specialized equipment and techniques to ensure that the materials are disposed of safely, and in compliance with local regulations. Failure to do so can lead to injury, which can in turn lead to a lawsuit.Â
PHASE 4: CLEANING AND SANITIZING
The cleaning and sanitizing phase involves our team removing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from the site, as well as sanitizing surfaces to prevent the spread of disease. This is a big one, as it ensures that the site is safe and ready for future use. Cleaning and sanitizing typically involves power washing surfaces to remove dirt and grime, disinfecting them with bleach or other sanitizing agents, and removing any remaining debris or contaminants.Â
PHASE 5: FINAL INSPECTION AND COMPLETION
The final phase of post-construction cleanup involves conducting a final inspection to ensure that the entire site is clean, safe, and free of debris. We bring out as many eyeballs as needed to conduct a visual inspection of the site, which allows us to identify any remaining debris or contaminants, and verify that all hazardous materials have been removed and disposed of properly. Once finished, we add our stamp of approval, contact the property manager, and give the green light to cut the ribbon.Â
CONCLUSION
Post-construction cleanup is a necessary and critical part of any construction project, as it ensures that the site is left in a safe and clean condition for future use. By breaking down the process into different phases, we hope you now understand the work required to make sure that the site is restored to its original state.
