How it works

Large area, high ceiling, different problem

Industrial post-construction is a volume and access problem rather than a detail problem. The square footage is enormous and most of the dust is thirty feet up.

Warehouse floor

  • Full sweep and scrub
  • Concrete dust removal
  • Line marking left clean
  • Dock levellers and pits
  • Column bases and bollards

Overhead

  • Structural steel and joists
  • Exposed ductwork and conduit
  • Sprinkler lines and heads
  • High bay light fixtures
  • Requires lift access

Office and support

  • Front office fit-out
  • Break rooms and restrooms
  • Locker and changing areas
  • Interior glass and partitions

Dock and exterior

  • Dock doors and seals
  • Apron and approach sweep
  • Exterior glass at entries
  • Trash and staging areas

The cost driver in industrial work is access equipment, not labour. Cleaning structural steel and high bay fixtures at twenty five to forty feet means scissor lifts or boom lifts, which means certified operators, rental cost and a slower pace than working from the ground. A 100,000 sq ft warehouse floor can be scrubbed in a day with a ride on machine. The overhead in the same building can take a week.

That is why industrial quotes should separate floor level from overhead. Many owners only need the floor, the office fit-out and the dock. Overhead cleaning matters most in food grade, pharmaceutical and clean manufacturing facilities where dust from the structure will eventually fall onto a production line.

Pricing

What industrial post-construction costs

Floor level only

  • $0.08 to $0.15 per sq ft

Including overhead

  • $0.20 to $0.40 per sq ft

Office fit-out

  • Standard post-con rates

Lift equipment

  • Quoted separately or provided

Per square foot rates fall as area grows, since setup and mobilisation spread across more space. A 20,000 sq ft flex building prices higher per foot than a 300,000 sq ft distribution centre.

Questions

What people ask

Do you clean overhead structural steel?

Yes, with lift access. It is the most expensive part of an industrial clean because it requires scissor or boom lifts, certified operators and a much slower pace than ground level work. Many owners only need it in food grade or clean manufacturing facilities.

How is industrial priced differently?

Per square foot rates are far lower than commercial, between $0.08 and $0.15 for floor level, because the space is open and repetitive. Rates fall further as area grows since mobilisation spreads across more space.

Do you provide the lift equipment?

Either way. We can quote it inclusive or work with a lift the general contractor already has on site, which is usually cheaper for everyone if one is available.

Can you scrub a large warehouse floor?

Yes, with ride on scrubbers. A 100,000 sq ft floor is typically a single day for the scrub itself. Concrete dust removal before the scrub is what takes the time on a new build.

What about the office portion?

Priced at standard post-construction rates, since a fit-out office inside a warehouse is the same detail work as any other office. It is quoted as a separate line rather than folded into the square footage.

Recent work

SkinSpirit at Nordstrom, NorthPark Center

A medical aesthetic practice inside Nordstrom at NorthPark Center in Dallas, delivered for a national facility contractor across three phases in four days.

Phase one was the post-construction clean while trades were still finishing the retail wall. Phase two was a general clean after the following day's work. Phase three was the final detail before opening.

Access was through the Nordstrom loading dock after store hours, with crews routed through the closed sales floor to reach the suite. Every visit was checked in and out through the contractor's own system, with before and after photography uploaded to their vendor portal inside a three day closeout window.

Who we are

A commercial cleaning contractor, not a franchise

Neatwick works with general contractors, facility managers and business owners on cleaning that has a deadline attached. Most of what we do is either the final clean before a space opens or the recurring service once it has.

We are not a franchise and there is no call centre. You deal with the same person from quote to invoice. We maintain crews across 24 metros and carry our own insurance on every job, so the standard does not change depending on which market you are in.

Pricing is by the job with the hours stated, not by the hour. Hourly pricing rewards working slowly. Fixed scope rewards showing up and finishing properly, and it means you know the number before anyone starts.
