POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING
FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS IN MASSACHUSETTS
From Rough Clean to Owner Turnover — Enterprise Helps You Finish the Project.
A construction project isn't finished when the last trade packs up.
It's finished when the construction dust is removed, the glass is clean, the floors are detailed, the punch-list cleaning is complete and the building is ready for inspection, owner walkthrough and occupancy.
Enterprise Cleaning Corporation provides commercial post-construction cleaning for general contractors, construction managers, builders and developers throughout Massachusetts.
We understand construction schedules.
Trades run late. Punch lists change. Inspectors arrive. Furniture gets delivered. Finish work creates new dust. Turnover dates don't always move just because the construction schedule did.
That's why Enterprise doesn't treat post-construction cleaning like an oversized janitorial job.
We Treat Cleaning as Part of Project Closeout.
Our team coordinates with your superintendent, project manager or construction team to execute the appropriate cleaning phase at the appropriate construction milestone.
THE ENTERPRISE 4-PHASE CONSTRUCTION CLEANING SYSTEM™
One Cleaning Partner. From Active Construction to Occupied Facility.
POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING BUILT FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS
Your cleaning subcontractor should make project closeout easier — not become another subcontractor your superintendent has to manage.
Enterprise Cleaning Corporation understands that commercial post-construction cleaning happens inside an active construction schedule.
We sequence cleaning around active trade progress:
That's why communication and sequencing matter. Enterprise coordinates post-construction cleaning around the actual condition and progress of the project so your construction team can determine which areas are ready for rough cleaning, final cleaning or final touch-up.
Built Around Your Construction Schedule
Cleaning can be phased by project milestone, floor, building section, work area or turnover requirement depending upon the project.
Built Around Your Superintendent
Enterprise can coordinate with the designated superintendent, project manager or other authorized construction representative regarding access, cleaning readiness and project priorities.
Built Around Your Turnover Date
The objective isn't simply to “clean the building.” The objective is to help deliver a clean, professional facility for inspection, walkthrough and owner or tenant turnover.
THE ENTERPRISE 4-PHASE POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANING PROCESS
PHASE 1 — ROUGH CONSTRUCTION CLEANING
Prepare the Project for the Finish Trades
Rough construction cleaning is the first major cleaning stage of the Enterprise process.
The objective is not yet to make the project presentation-ready.
The objective is to remove accumulated construction dust, loose debris and jobsite soil from designated areas so the construction project can progress toward final finishes.
Depending upon the project's specifications and agreed scope, Rough Cleaning may include:
Why the Rough Clean Matters
A well-executed rough clean creates a cleaner environment for the final stages of construction and reduces the amount of accumulated dust and soil that must be addressed during the detailed final cleaning.
PHASE 2 — FINAL CONSTRUCTION CLEANING
From Construction Complete to Presentation Ready
Final Construction Cleaning is the detailed cleaning stage.
Once major construction and finish work is substantially complete, Enterprise performs a systematic detailed clean designed to remove remaining construction dust, fingerprints, appropriate labels, residue and jobsite soil.
This is where the building begins looking less like a construction project and more like the finished facility the owner expects.

Post-Construction Floor Cleaning
Different flooring requires different procedures. Enterprise's commercial floor-care capabilities can be incorporated into the construction cleaning scope as required:
PHASE 3 — FINAL TOUCH-UP & PUNCH-LIST CLEANING
Because Construction Doesn't Always Stop After the Final Clean.
The final clean is finished. Then somebody comes back:
And fine construction dust settles again.
That's why Enterprise treats Final Touch-Up / Punch-List Cleaning as a separate construction phase. Scheduled close to the final walkthrough or owner turnover, Enterprise returns to address cleaning needs created after the primary final clean.
Depending upon scope, Touch-Up Cleaning may include:
The Last 5% Can Determine How the Entire Project Is Perceived.
The owner's first impression isn't based on what the building looked like during construction. It's based on what the building looks like when you hand over the keys.
PHASE 4 — TRANSITION TO ONGOING JANITORIAL SERVICE
The Construction Project Ends. Protect What You Just Built.
Why introduce another cleaning company immediately after turnover?
Enterprise Cleaning Corporation can transition the completed facility directly from post-construction cleaning into a customized ongoing commercial janitorial program.
Enterprise already understands the facility's:
That knowledge forms the foundation of the ongoing janitorial scope without a learning curve.
Recurring services can include:
One Facility. One Cleaning Partner.
