Rough construction cleaning removes bulk debris, drywall dust, labels, and jobsite trash so finishing trades have clear floors and breathable air in work areas. It is not turnover-ready cleaning. Imperial Cleaning scopes by phase, documents access and power, and schedules crews so drywall dust does not settle on newly installed trim because the rough pass was skipped or rushed.
What Our Rough Clean Includes
Bulk Debris & Scrap Removal
Wood, packaging, drywall scraps, and trade waste bagged and removed from work areas per GC direction.
Drywall Dust Control Pass
High-dust vacuum and wipe of surfaces that would contaminate paint, trim, or MEP trim-out if left coated.
Floor Sweep & Initial Scrape
Subfloor and slab cleared of nails, mud, and chunks before floor coverings or coatings begin.
Window & Label Removal
Protective film and sticker residue removed from glass and frames where trades need clear sightlines.
Restroom & Core Area Reset
Temporary facilities and worker paths cleaned so inspections and subsequent trades are not blocked by prior-phase mess.
Phase Scheduling With GC Calendar
Mobilization tied to rough-in completion dates, not arbitrary calendar slots that leave finish trades waiting.
Why Imperial Cleaning
GC Phase Alignment
We understand rough clean is a gate before trim and paint. Missed dust here becomes callback cost for the GC later.
Construction-Trained Crews
Teams expect incomplete power, incomplete HVAC, and active trades on adjacent phases.

Rough Clean FAQ
When should rough clean happen on a commercial build?
After substantial rough-in and drywall hang/finish, before trim carpentry, paint, and floor finish trades mobilize. Timing is coordinated with your superintendent.
Does rough clean include window washing?
Rough clean includes label and film removal and dust wipe, not final detail glass. Final and touch-up phases handle inspection-ready glass.
How is rough clean priced?
Pricing depends on square footage, debris volume, floor condition, and access. Published planning ranges for post-construction work often run $0.15 to $0.60 per sq ft by phase. We confirm numbers after a jobsite walk.
Do you haul off construction dumpsters?
We handle bagged debris and coordinated haul-off within scope. Dumpster rental and heavy demo removal are typically GC-supplied or quoted as add-ons.
