The service

What is strata cleaning with Builders Clean?

Builders Clean provides scheduled common area cleaning for strata schemes across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. A consistent, police checked crew services the shared spaces of your building to a written scope the committee approves up front.

We built our name detailing new apartment buildings for handover, where the standard is a defect free inspection. We bring that same standard to the buildings once residents move in: lobbies detailed, not just swept.

Weekly, twice weekly or daily visits, sized to the building. Entry, lobby, lifts, corridors, stairwells, bin rooms, car parks and outdoor areas covered on every visit, with periodic deep cleans built into the program.

One contact, a fixed monthly price and a supervisor who checks the work. If anything is missed, we return promptly at no cost.

For strata managers

Fewer complaints. Fewer emails.

Owners and tenants notice the small things first. An overflowing bin room, a streaky lift mirror, leaves piled at the entry. Each one turns into an email to the strata manager, and then into an agenda item for the committee.

A building that is cleaned properly and consistently removes that noise. Fewer complaints, a happier committee, and a building that holds its value and its reputation. That is the job we are hired to do.

Your eyes and ears on site

Every visit ends with a note to the building manager. Lights out in a stairwell, rubbish dumped in the car park, a hazard on common property. You hear it from us before you hear it from an owner.

The same crew, every visit

No rotating casuals. A regular crew that knows the building, the fobs, the bin days and the residents who care about the lobby.

Quiet outdoor cleaning

Paths and courtyards are swept and vacuumed, not leaf blown at seven on a Saturday morning. Residents and neighbours notice that too.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is included in a strata clean?

A standard visit covers the entry and lobby, lifts and corridors, stairwells, bin rooms, car parks and driveways, shared amenities such as gyms and common bathrooms, and outdoor areas. Every contract runs to a written scope the strata manager or committee approves before we start, so nothing is assumed.

How much does strata cleaning cost?

Strata cleaning is priced per visit and fixed as a monthly amount for the owners corporation. The main drivers are the number of lots and levels, visit frequency, which common areas are in scope, and the periodic work included such as window cleaning or car park scrubs. We quote from your current scope or a walkthrough, with a written itemised quote inside 24 hours.

Who pays for strata cleaning?

The owners corporation (body corporate in Queensland) pays for common area cleaning out of the administrative fund, which is funded by owner levies in proportion to each lot's unit entitlement. The strata manager or committee engages the cleaner and approves the scope and the monthly price.

How often should common areas be cleaned?

Most buildings with lifts and a shared lobby run weekly or twice weekly visits, and larger towers run daily. Bin rooms usually need attention around collection days. We size the frequency to the building and adjust it after the first month if the scope needs it.

Do you move the bins out for council collection?

Yes. Bin movement out for collection and back into the bin room can be written into the scope, along with hosing and deodorising the bin room and dealing with overflow.

Can you handle window cleaning, pressure washing and car park scrubs too?

Yes. Periodic work such as common area window cleaning, pressure washing of paths and entries, machine scrubbing of the car park and carpet steam cleaning can be built into the contract on a rotation, from the same crew on the same invoice.

Do you send reports after each clean?

Yes. Every visit ends with a short note to the building manager or strata manager covering what was done and anything we noticed on common property, such as lights out, dumped rubbish or a hazard. Photos are included where they help. It means you hear about issues from us before you hear about them from an owner.

Are your cleaners police checked and insured?

Yes. Crews are police checked and uniformed, and we carry $20M public liability insurance and workers comp. Compliance documentation is available for the strata manager and owners corporation on request.

How do we switch from our current strata cleaner?

Send us your current scope or arrange a walkthrough with the building manager. We quote against the existing scope line by line so the committee can compare, agree a start date and handle the changeover. Most buildings switch with one committee decision and a handover of keys and fobs.

Do you manage multiple buildings for one strata company?

Yes. We run portfolio contracts across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth with one contact per building manager, one standard and consolidated invoicing per scheme.

How do I know a strata cleaner is reliable and compliant?

Ask for the insurance certificates, police check process, SWMS and a written scope before you sign. Then ask for buildings they have looked after for more than a year. We supply all of that with the quote, and our supervisors sign off new apartment buildings for builders, so the standard is checked, not assumed.
