How post-construction cleaning is priced
Most Austin post-construction jobs are quoted per square foot or as a flat project price, based on the size of the space and how heavy the cleanup is. A dusty new build takes far more labor than a small remodel punch-out, so the price scales with the mess, not just the square footage.
The cleanup phases
Post-construction cleaning often runs in phases: a rough clean after the major work, a final detail clean before handover, and a touch-up after move-in furniture and trades clear out. You can book one phase or all three; pricing follows the scope of each.
What drives the number
Square footage, the volume of dust and debris, floor and surface types, glass and fixture detailing, trash haul-off, and your timeline. Tight turnarounds and heavy residue (drywall dust, paint, adhesive) add labor and raise the price.
