What Our Post Construction Cleaning Covers
Every post construction cleaning project gets a custom scope of work built around the phase you’re in: rough, final or touch up. The list below covers what most general contractors and developers include in a full final clean. Your job is scoped during the on site walkthrough, because nothing on a job site is one size fits all.
Drywall Dust & Fine Particulate
The single hardest part of any post construction cleaning job. We use HEPA filtered industrial vacuums, microfiber capture systems and electrostatic cloths to pull fine drywall dust out of every horizontal surface, fixture cavity and air register. Standard shop vacs spread it. We extract it.
Window, Track & Sill Detailing
Interior and exterior glass cleaned streak free. Tape residue, paint splatter, sticker glue and silicone smears scraped from glass with non abrasive blades. Tracks vacuumed and wiped, sills detailed and frames wiped down. Your windows look like they were installed today.
Heavy Debris & Packaging
Cardboard, plastic sheeting, packing foam, drywall offcuts, tile fragments, paint cans and trade leftovers, all sorted, removed and disposed of responsibly. Recycling separated where possible. Site left broom clean and ready for the final detail phase.
HVAC, Vents & Registers
Supply and return registers vacuumed and wiped. Vent covers removed, cleaned and reinstalled. Visible duct openings cleared of construction dust. Filter changeover available on request. Critical for indoor air quality on any new build, and a step most cleaning companies skip.
Floor Preparation & Restoration
Protective film and Ram Board removed. Drywall mud, paint drips, adhesive residue and grout haze scraped or chemically dissolved. Hard floors swept, vacuumed and damp mopped with neutral cleaners. Deep floor care is available as an add on for VCT, tile and polished concrete.
Final Touch Up & Walkthrough
The white glove polish before client handover. Fixtures wiped, switch plates detailed, mirrors and glass polished, fingerprints cleared and light bulbs verified working. We walk the site with the GC or property manager so anything flagged is corrected before keys change hands.
Echo Quality Service Guarantee
Every post construction cleaning job gets this guarantee in writing: if anything is missed during the handover walkthrough, we fix it free of charge. If the client finds an issue after we leave, we return on the next available shift at zero additional cost. No arguments, no excuses. Just done right before the keys change hands.
The trades built it. We make it presentable.
Most cleaning companies treat post construction cleaning like a regular deep clean with extra steps. It isn’t. It’s a different job with different chemistry, different equipment and a different sequence. That mismatch is exactly why the average post construction cleaning handover gets re-cleaned twice before the client signs off. Echo was built to end that cycle.
Why Builders Call Echo
Most crews show up to post construction cleaning with the same kit they’d bring to a recurring office. That’s why drywall dust keeps resettling, why windows still have tape glue at handover and why the GC ends up paying for a third clean. Echo was built to fix that gap, and four decisions separate us from every other crew on a job site.
Phase Specific Teams
We deploy different crews and equipment for rough, final and touch up cleaning because they are different jobs. Rough phase uses heavy debris management and industrial vacuums. Final phase uses HEPA filtration and detail cleaning. Touch up is a white glove walkthrough 24 hours before handover. Most cleaning companies send the same team with the same kit to all three phases, and that’s why their handovers fail. That sequencing is the post construction cleaning standard you should expect.
Industrial Kit, Not Office Kit
Drywall dust is not office dust. It’s a fine particulate that needs HEPA rated extraction, not a shop vac. Tape residue isn’t a fingerprint smudge, and adhesive removal isn’t surface cleaning. We bring commercial scrapers, HEPA vacuums, electrostatic capture cloths and the chemistry that actually works on construction soils. Vacuum bags and filters get replaced on a job by job schedule, not whenever the crew remembers. That’s the discipline behind a clean that actually holds.
We Work To Your Deadline
A delayed final clean delays handover, which delays occupancy, which costs the developer or GC real money. Echo schedules around your project timeline, including nights, weekends and emergency same day deployment when a trade overruns. You set the deadline and we hit it. We track every active build so the post construction cleaning crew arrives the moment trades clear, not three days later when site protection is gone and dust has resettled.
Vetted, Accountable Crews
Every person on your job site is vetted, trained, covered by WorkSafeBC and accountable to ownership. New crew members complete a structured onboarding before they ever step on a jobsite, and supervisors have direct lines to ownership so problems get escalated in hours, not days. On a deadline driven build, that matters. When you book post construction cleaning with Echo, the name on the invoice is the name walking the final inspection with you.
From First Call To Handover Clean
Every post construction cleaning project follows four predictable steps designed to minimize surprises for the GC, the developer and the trades still on site. Most engagements move from first call to first crew on site within 48 hours, and emergency work moves faster when needed.
Site Walkthrough
A Co-Founder walks the active job site with you. It’s free and there’s no obligation. We assess the construction phase, document the existing condition, identify hazards and ask the GC what the handover bar looks like.
Phased Quote
Within 24 hours you get a written quote broken out by phase: rough, final and touch up. Pricing is transparent and per phase, so you can book the full sequence or just the final clean.
Crew Deployment
The right phase specific crew is briefed on the site, the scope and the deadline. Equipment is staged. Site access, lockbox codes and trade coordination are handled. Work starts on the agreed date.
Handover Walkthrough
Before we sign off, a Co-Founder or supervisor walks the cleaned site with the GC or developer. Anything flagged is corrected on the spot, and the site is ready for the keys to change hands.
Post Construction Cleaning For Every Kind Of Build
The post construction cleaning scope shifts by industry. A healthcare clinic handover demands different chemistry than a retail fit out, and a multi tenant office building runs on a different timeline than a single tenant warehouse. Echo crews are briefed on industry requirements before they arrive on site.
Office & Tenant Fit Outs
New leasehold improvements, tenant move in fit outs and full office handovers. We coordinate around remaining trades and align our scope with the GC’s project closeout checklist.
Retail & Storefront Builds
Storefronts, shopping centre tenant turnovers and big box retail closeouts. Signage residue, glass detailing and customer facing surface work all included in the final phase.
Restaurants & Food Service
Kitchen build outs, walk in cooler installs and dining room finals. Food service chemistry is handled separately: hood degreasing, fryer zone scrubdown and surfaces near grease traps.
Healthcare & Medical
Clinics, dental offices and medical buildouts. Strict surface prep standards before equipment installation, with chemistry safe for sensitive environments and patient facing zones.
Industrial & Warehouse
New industrial facilities, distribution warehouses and manufacturing buildouts. Large square footage scope, dock area cleanup and heavy equipment staging zones included.
Education & Institutional
Schools, training facilities and government building renovations. We work around access control requirements and schedule cleans inside facility use windows so operations aren’t disrupted.
Abbotsford, The Fraser Valley And The Okanagan
Whatever the build looks like, our post construction cleaning standard stays the same: phase specific crews, industrial equipment, deadline discipline and direct ownership accountability. Your industry shapes the scope. Our discipline doesn’t change.
From our Abbotsford HQ at 32675 Peardonville Rd, crews deploy into Chilliwack, Mission, Langley, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Delta and Burnaby. The Okanagan division services Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Coldstream. A tenant fit out in downtown Abbotsford, a medical complex in Langley, a warehouse in Surrey or a retail location in Kelowna all get the same drywall dust extraction equipment, the same trade residue protocols and the same handover deadline discipline.

The questions we get from almost every general contractor, developer and property manager. If yours isn’t here, call 604-966-3778 and a Co-Founder will answer it directly. We also offer recurring commercial cleaning once the build hands over to occupancy.
How much does post construction cleaning cost in Abbotsford?
Post construction cleaning is typically quoted per square foot or as a flat project fee, based on the phase you’re booking, site condition, square footage and complexity. Small renovations and tenant fit outs often range $0.30 to $0.75 per sq ft for a final clean. Larger commercial builds, multi storey projects and full sequence engagements are quoted on full scope. Every quote arrives within 24 hours of a complimentary on site walkthrough, with no obligation and no hidden fees later.
What’s included in a post construction clean?
A complete final phase post construction cleaning service typically includes drywall dust removal with HEPA filtration, full window, track and sill detailing, heavy debris and packaging removal, HVAC vent and register cleaning, floor preparation and protective film removal, fixture and switch plate detailing and a final touch up clean for handover. Every job is scoped to the phase of construction and built around the handover deadline. Read the full scope of work above.
Can you handle multi phase construction cleans?
Yes, and this is exactly where Echo’s post construction cleaning separates from generic janitorial crews. We deploy phase specific teams for each stage: rough cleaning during active trade work, final cleaning after trades complete and touch up cleaning right before the client walkthrough. Each phase uses different equipment, different chemistry and a different work sequence. Most cleaning companies send the same team with the same kit to all three phases, and that mismatch is the #1 reason post construction handovers fail.
How quickly can you deploy for an emergency job?
For urgent post construction cleaning, Echo can typically deploy within 24 to 48 hours depending on crew availability and project scope. We work with general contractors, developers and property managers across Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Langley and Kelowna whose builds run on tight handover deadlines. Tell us your handover date during the walkthrough and we’ll tell you straight whether we can hit it, including weekend and night work when the trades have overrun. We service all the Fraser Valley and Okanagan regions we cover.
Do you carry insurance for active construction sites?
Yes. Echo Janitorial Services Inc. carries commercial liability insurance and bonding suitable for active and post active construction environments. Certificates of insurance are available on request, and for sustained projects we can name the general contractor, developer or property management company as an additional insured. Our field crews are trained in WorkSafeBC WHMIS, fall protection and aerial work platform operation, all of which matter on multi storey and active trade sites.
Do you work directly with general contractors and developers?
Echo works directly with whoever holds the post construction cleaning scope on a build. Most often that’s the general contractor, but sometimes it’s the developer, the property management company or the building owner. Billing, scheduling and communication can all run through one point of contact. Master service agreements for multi project relationships are available for high volume GCs, and we keep certificates of insurance ready for every active engagement.
Can Echo work around trades still finishing on site?
Yes. Post construction cleaning often overlaps with finishing trades: painters returning for touch ups, electricians completing fixture installs and flooring contractors doing final transitions. Our crews are briefed on which trade zones are active and coordinate site access so we don’t slow your closeout. On multi storey builds we often work floors below or above active trades without disrupting the schedule. We check in with the site supervisor at the start of every shift and follow your site safety plan.
