Brief
Given the size and scope of this construction project Brims required a large team of cleaning operatives, required to possess CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) and IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) cards, indicating their proficiency and competence in their respective roles.
Having worked together successfully on previous projects, Brims were secure in the knowledge that Cklip’s cleaning operatives are appropriately trained and experienced in post-construction site cleaning practices and hold a range of additional certifications making them a multi-skilled and reliable workforce.
Analysis: Site Visit
Delivering phased Builders’ and Sparkle Cleans across the floors of a building can be particularly challenging as construction nears completion and multiple trades are operating onsite. During the site visit, Cklip’s project manager assessed overall cleanliness, and gained a comprehensive understanding of the site’s layout, construction progress and unique cleaning challenges.
Implementation: Works Carried Out
As construction activities were ongoing, Cklip’s dedicated supervisor collaborated closely with Brims, coordinating the cleaning schedule to align with the completion of each floor and allowing the team to systematically progress through the building.
Cleaning the exterior windows of the building posed a particular challenge due to the ongoing construction work, as accumulations of dust and mortar had taken hold on the windows. In response, Cklip ‘s window cleaning operatives utilised Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) to access hard to reach areas, prioritising site safety, and following strict safety measures, especially for areas close to passers-by and road users.
