Construction Cleaning Prices

Many people expect that the construction cleaning of a new build should be cheaper than a regular apartment cleaning, since the kitchen and bathroom are completely new and therefore do not need to be cleaned. Unfortunately, that is not the case — on the contrary: construction cleanings are even more demanding than regular move-out cleanings and therefore also more expensive.

This is mainly due to the fact that industrial dirt can only be removed with strong cleaning agents. In addition, there is a very high amount of fine dust, so that construction cleaning can almost turn into a "never-ending story".

For this reason, we recommend not carrying out a construction cleaning yourself without the appropriate experience and equipment. The effort will be far greater than you expect.

Construction Cleaning Prices - Indicative Prices for Switzerland

When comparing the indicative prices for final construction cleaning, a clear distinction must be made between house and apartment. The effort for a house is much greater.

Number of Rooms Apartment House
1.5 Rooms CHF 800.- -
2.5 Rooms CHF 950.- -
3.5 Rooms CHF 1'100.- CHF 1'550.-
4.5 Rooms CHF 1'450.- CHF 2'130.-
5.5 Rooms CHF 1'870.- CHF 2'820.-
6.5 Rooms CHF 2'030.- CHF 3'130.-
7.5 Rooms CHF 2'280.- CHF 3'450.-

Important: Please note that these are not price recommendations or fixed price quotes. These are merely indicative prices that we have determined. You may well receive considerably cheaper offers through our platform. However, if you would like a realistic overview of the prices for construction cleanings, the table is certainly recommended.

We strongly recommend carrying out an inspection before a construction cleaning, as the effort depends heavily on how cleanly the tradespeople have worked. If, for example, there are a lot of cement residues in the apartment, the cleaning is very demanding.

Especially when there are many windows covered with cement residues, this cleaning alone can quickly keep one or two people busy for an entire day.

Ultimately, it is not only the price that is central to the inspection, but also that the cleaning company has enough time for the construction cleaning. Otherwise it will also become very tedious for you and your move.

Price Factors of a Construction Cleaning

  • Apartment Size / Number of Rooms

    The main factor by which cleaning companies calculate the base price for the final construction cleaning.

  • Number of Wet Areas

    A wet area requires considerably more cleaning effort than a normal room. The number of wet areas is therefore also a major price factor.

  • Dirtiness

    In contrast to a move-out cleaning, here it is not the degree of dirtiness from usage, but from building materials such as cement, mortar, fine dust, etc.
