Post-Construction and Builders Cleaning
Since 2011, Wisdom Cleaning has specialised in professional post-construction and builders’ cleaning across Christchurch, Auckland, and Queenstown. Having grown alongside the Christchurch rebuild, we have supported projects of every scale — from multi-level commercial developments to individual residential homes. Our experience means we understand construction timelines, site conditions, and the level of detail required to deliver a property that is genuinely handover-ready.We plan each clean around your construction programme, carrying out our work only when the site is ready and trades have completed the tasks required before the next stage. This approach minimises rework, avoids unnecessary overlap with trades, and ensures the property is cleaned to the right standard at the right time. Whether you need a two-stage clean, a single final clean, or a tidy-up clean for unsold homes, we tailor our service to align with your workflow, schedule, and budget.
Builder Cleaning Options
We offer flexible cleaning options to suit your construction programme, budget, and workflow. You can choose a two-stage clean, a single final clean, or add a tidy-up clean if a completed home remains unsold.
Option 1: First Clean + Second Clean
This is the most common option for builders who want the site prepared for trades to return for touch-ups.
First Clean
- Removes dust, debris, adhesives, and general construction mess
- Prepares the property so trades can complete their own touch-up work
- Ensures the home is clear, safe, and ready for final detailing
Second Clean
- Done after trades finish their touch-ups
- Brings the home to near handover-ready condition
- Floors, surfaces, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms, and glass are detailed
Best for: builders who want a staged approach that aligns with the build sequence.
Option 2: Final Clean Only (Cost-Effective Option)
Final Clean
- Full presentation clean
- Suitable for handover, photography, inspection, or sale
- Most cost-effective option when only one clean is required
Best for: A full clean performed after all trades are finished, offering a cost-effective option for simple builds with no trade return.
Window Cleaning
To ensure a clean finish without rework, we recommend scheduling window cleaning at the correct stage of the build.
Exterior Windows
- Ideally done at the Second Clean or Final Clean,
- After landscaping is completed to prevent dirt splash-back.
High Windows / Upper-Level Glass
- Must be cleaned before scaffolding is removed.
- We will coordinate with your scaffold and site programme to complete this safely and on time.
Optional Add-On: Tidy-Up Clean (For Unsold Homes)
If a completed home stays on site for a period before selling, dust can settle and trades may return briefly for minor work.You can add a Tidy-Up Clean to refresh the property before staging, open homes, or photography.
Best for: show homes, unsold stock, or properties needing a light refresh.
