Post-Construction Cleaning in Berkeley

What we clean in Berkeley

The work here

Campus and campus-adjacent construction dominates: teaching and research buildings, laboratory fit-outs and renovations, and student housing. Around it, mixed-use development along the transit corridors and the ground-floor retail and restaurant space that comes with it. Seismic retrofit of older buildings is a constant in a city built largely before the current code.

Site conditions that shape the schedule

The academic calendar is the schedule. Work that disrupts a building has to land between terms, which compresses whole projects into fixed windows and leaves no room for a clean that runs long. Laboratory spaces add a second requirement: the cleaning method and the products used are both approved in advance, because a residue invisible anywhere else can invalidate what the room is for.
