One of the most important elements of the construction site for anything is the ability to keep it clean and safe. All personnel, tradesmen and vendors to the site need to make safety their number one concern, however, debris, material spread all over and the general disarray is always a problem. The crew that is hired to make sure the construction cleanup is happening is vital to the cause.
The tasks involved in by this professional group depends on where in the building cycle they are at any particular point. During the beginning days, they will be picking up debris, packing materials and keeping pathways clear. The safe handling of these materials will require heavy gloves and, possibly, shovels and backhoes.
The poured floor slab will be one of the first main tasks. This will have to be ground down to a fairly smooth surface. The debris from this task will have to be swept and the floor kept swept from this point on. This will be the first time vacuums are used inside the structure even if there are no walls to speak of.
Because of the various union rules in most of the United State, only one trade will be able to work, inside, at a time. The clean crew will go in during and after each trade to deal with the debris from each work session. Each trade will make their own particular type of mess and the crew will have to be flexible in taking care of each one before the next group of workers come in.
As the plumbers go in, there will be more packing materials as well as banding devices for the piping involved. Any water that has been spilled or leaked will have to be cleaned up. The electricians will bring their own messes in. This will include insulation, packing materials and scrap wires and the odd connectors that were broken or not good for use.
The cleaning crew will probably have the most interesting job on the site. There will be sweeping, picking up trash or cleaning something that is needed, right now. Sometimes there is little to do and then, there is a lot to do and everyone needs it done, right now. A very flexible nature is important in all personnel hired for this crucial task.
In the last phases of construction, these cleaners will become involved in the actual detail cleaning of the finished spaces. The widow cleaning as well as fine sweeping and vacuuming of the floors. The bright work will begin and inside glass, mirrors and aqueous fixtures will be serviced.
The last thing they will be involved in will be what is called a punch card type cleaning. This is the small detail that was missed during the finishing phase of construction. This construction cleanup will consist of fixing small holes in walls and black marks on the same surfaces. Cleaning the toilets, bathtubs and kitchen sinks will be in this part of the job. The cabinets will be cleaned out as well as the sinks and, in this way, they are simply performing the duties that a regular custodial firm will be handling.
