The Importance of Post-Construction Cleanup

Construction work can be quite difficult and strenuous, from the inception of the project all the way to post-construction cleanup. The tasks involved are primarily manual labor such as loading and unloading materials, assembling and breaking down scaffolding, structures and barriers, digging of holes and tunnels, mixing, pouring, and leveling concrete, heavy lifting, and more. 

Not everyone is skilled in the handling of construction and demolition materials which is why any and all construction work should be left to the professionals. Professional construction workers allow for the timely completion of projects; however, it doesn’t end there. 

Debris and material remnants are often left behind by construction crews which is where post-construction cleanup comes in. In this blog post, we go over the benefits of post-construction cleanup in regards to safety, time, costs, and proper cleanup.

Safety

Construction sites pose a risk for individuals who have no experience handling construction and demolition materials such as steel, concrete, asphalt, wood, glass, and metals. Common injuries at these sites include falls, broken bones, heatstroke, cuts from falling objects, and more.

Hiring out a post-construction cleanup team ensures that you have trained professionals who know how to avoid these injuries and come prepared with the proper safety gear. Proper safety gear includes safety glasses, hard hats, work boots with toe and slip protection, high-visibility vests, and earplugs.

Timesaver

By hiring a well-trained and highly-experienced post-construction cleanup team, you are allowing your employees more time to focus on bigger priorities. Rather than having them put their assigned tasks on hold to run around and look for the right gear, tools, and equipment, a construction cleanup team will arrive fully prepared for the job.

Cost-Efficient

You may think that you are cutting costs by having your post-construction cleanup done in-house, but the actuality is otherwise. Unless you hired your employees with the premeditated responsibility of post-construction cleanup, their time is better spent tending to their appropriate duties as assigned.

When you hire out a cleaning company to help you with post-construction cleanup, you are paying for professional and quality service. When you rely on your employees to do this task, you may be wasting time—and money—by going over correct procedures, gathering equipment and safety gear, and double-checking for missed areas or cleaning mistakes.

Proper Cleanup

It is absolutely vital that cleanup is done right when it comes to post-construction work—not just for a polished appearance, but also for health concerns. Inhalation of or exposure to materials left over at construction sites—such as dust, asbestos, mold, lead, and solvents—can be detrimental to one’s health. The right cleaning company will ensure that no debris or material remnants are left.

Other important aspects of proper cleanup are knowing how to properly dispose of hazardous waste to avoid costly penalties and handling equipment correctly to avoid damages at the site. By working with a cleaning company that already knows these protocols, you can reap the benefits of saving both time and money.
