Following the completion of a new extension to the University of Liverpool’s School of Architecture, Oculus Group were appointed to carry out a full builders’ clean and sparkle clean across both the newly built extension and the original Leverhulme Building, restoring every inch of the space to a standard ready for handover and occupation.
With contractors still actively working on site throughout the project, careful coordination was essential. The cleaning needed to be delivered across four floors in a staged approach, with each section signed off to a defined schedule without disrupting the ongoing construction programme.
The external glass cleaning presented its own set of challenges – significant residue from the build, including silicone, stickers, and loose mortar, required meticulous hand scraping before any cleaning could begin, demanding patience, precision, and experienced operatives.
Oculus Group worked closely with the site manager from day one, aligning our schedule to the contractor’s programme and adapting as required to ensure each phase was completed and signed off on time. Our team carried out:
Every section was completed, inspected, and signed off on schedule. The client expressed that they were very pleased with both the standard of cleaning and Oculus’s reactive and flexible approach throughout the project – a result that led to a direct recommendation to fellow project and QS managers within the University of Liverpool’s construction company special projects system.
“Very pleased – reactive and flexible response and the standard of cleaning was high.” – University of Liverpool, School of Architecture Project Team
