the 3 stages of construction clean up

The first stage focuses on clearing the largest debris and hazards from the site. This includes removing chunks of drywall, plywood, plastic coverings, and dangerous materials like nails and screws. Large brooms, industrial vacuums, and garbage bags are used to sweep up the bulk of the trash. Tools and equipment left behind are also removed to avoid obstacles and safety issues. This stage is less detail-oriented, concentrating mainly on large debris removal.

The second stage is more detailed and labor-intensive. It involves removing heavy dust from surfaces like countertops, walls, and floors, as well as cleaning air ducts. Professional tools like scrub brushes, mops, vacuums, and cleaning rags are essential. Special attention is given to bathrooms, with scrubbing of fixtures, sinks, toilets, and tubs. This is the most costly phase due to the higher amount of cleaning materials and effort involved.

The final stage occurs a few days after the initial cleaning to catch any remaining dust that may have settled. This phase includes wiping down surfaces, polishing floors, cleaning windows, and buffing reflective surfaces. It's a lighter clean but requires a meticulous eye for detail to ensure everything is spotless and ready for use. Special care is also given to light fixtures and mirrors during this final sweep.
