Is the build finished, or just almost finished? Most construction projects don’t fall apart at the big things.
They get delayed by the small ones. Dust on skirting boards. Stickers left on glass. Grout haze that only shows up once sunlight hits the tiles. These are the details that stop a handover from happening on time.
Construction cleaning in Adelaide isn’t about making a site look tidy. It’s about getting it ready to be signed off, occupied, and handed over without callbacks.

What Adelaide construction sites usually look like at the end
Even well-run builds finish with the same problems:
- Fine plaster and sanding dust that resettles overnight
- Silicone smears on glass and frames
Note: Glass is one of the first things inspectors notice, which is why window cleaning is often critical during final handover stages.
- Paint splatter on floors, doors, and fittings
- Stickers left on toilets, basins, and windows
- Sawdust inside cupboards, drawers, and wardrobe tracks
- Grout haze on tiles, especially darker finishes
- Debris inside drains and floor wastes
These details don’t show up in walkthroughs. They show up during inspections.
How construction cleaning actually works
We clean in stages, because construction never finishes all at once.
Rough / builders clean.
Done during the later stages of the build to remove bulk dust, debris, and packaging. This keeps the site safe for final trades and prevents dust from being trapped under flooring or fixtures.
Final handover clean
This is the critical stage. All trades should be finished. We clean top to bottom: windows, joinery (inside and out), bathrooms, kitchens, floors, vents, frames, and fittings. The goal is simple: the site should look brand new.
External areas such as driveways, pathways, and access zones are often addressed separately through pressure cleaning once heavy site traffic is complete.
Touch-up/sparkle clean
Booked after defect rectifications or on the morning of handover. This removes fingerprints, fresh dust, and marks left behind while fixing defects. It protects the final presentation.
What different clients usually care about
At Perfect Services, we work across active building sites, renovations, and completed developments. While the work may look similar, each client group focuses on different risks.
For example, builders and contractors care about reliability. Missed details lead to callbacks, delayed handovers, and payment hold-ups. Glass damage is a common concern, which is why correct tools and removal methods matter. Our role is to clean once, clean properly, and leave the site ready for inspection.
On the other hand, homeowners care about a crystal clear site. Construction dust doesn’t belong in a new home, especially around children, pets, or fresh flooring. They want to move in without re-cleaning surfaces. We clean with that expectation in mind, so the home actually feels finished.
Project managers and developers care about compliance and capacity. White Cards, SWMS, insurance, site inductions, and documentation are non-negotiable. Timelines are tight, and teams often need to scale quickly across multiple units or stages. We operate with trained staff, clear processes, and site-ready documentation to keep projects moving.
Safety and site awareness
Construction cleaning is still construction work. Our teams are familiar with:
- Site inductions and access protocols
- Working safely around unfinished areas
- Using appropriate PPE where required
- Handling glass, stone, and new finishes carefully
- Cleaning without damaging surfaces or fixtures
This isn’t a domestic cleaning brought onto a worksite.
How the process works
- You share site details, plans, or photos
- We clarify scope, timing, and access.
- Cleaning is scheduled around your build timeline
- We clean to the handover standard
