Price post-construction cleans without eating the change orders.
Apex CleanOps includes a phase-aware estimator for post-construction, rough, final, and touch-up cleans — with scope protection built in so the GC can't quietly expand the job.
Post-construction is one of the most scope-creep-prone jobs in cleaning. Dust re-settles, punch lists grow, and the GC calls you back for 'just a quick touch-up' that eats your margin. The Apex estimator prices each phase realistically and attaches exclusions on every bid.
Why post-construction bids go sideways
Post-construction has lower productivity per hour than office cleaning, more supplies, and unpredictable dust. Pricing it like a regular deep clean is how owners lose thousands per job.
- Rough / final / touch-up phases priced the same
- No exclusion language for punch lists and re-cleans
- Crew hours quoted from a nightly-cleaning productivity rate
- GC change orders that get done for free
