Building service contractors: expertise as the key to success

For building operators, keeping their building clean often represents a big financial outlay that cannot be directly translated into profit. Yet everyone involved benefits from cleanliness and hygiene in a number of respects: for one thing, the value of the infrastructure is maintained, and renovation work is less frequently required. Customers, employees and visitors alike all feel more comfortable in a clean environment. Depending on the nature of the premises, cleanliness is also an important aspect in maintaining the health and safety of building users. To achieve all these goals and operate economically, cleaning service providers need a great deal of expertise.

Planning and methods: the backbone of building service contractors

Depending on the property, the objectives of cleaning will have very different focal points and areas with differing priorities. Once the existing cleaning requirements have been determined, this can be used as a basis for planning: how should each area be cleaned, and with what frequency and intensity? The choice of method plays a major role here, as working with pretreatment or spraying methods, for example, is much more efficient and hygienic for surface cleaning than struggling with a bucket and cloth. Once the cleaning sequences and methods have been defined, employee schedules and costings can be worked out. Support can be provided in the form of digital tools, which can be used for everything from order processing, HR management and process control right through to analysing customer feedback.
