Real estate developer handover cleaning in Tokyo
Unit-by-unit handover cleaning for developers, with one contact, one checklist format and a photo report for each home.
A consistent standard across every unit
Buyers compare notes, and a single unit that feels unfinished can undo the impression of the rest. We use one checklist format for every home in the project, with the same order of rooms and the same points to check. When two units are different in layout, the checklist is adapted, but the standard stays the same. That makes it simple for your sales and handover team to see that every buyer is receiving the same condition.
Planning from plans and unit schedules
The most useful starting point is the plan set and the unit schedule: floor areas, layout types and the order in which units will be released. From that we propose how the project is divided into visits, which units come first and how the team is sized. If your handover is staggered by buyer dates, we plan around the dates instead of waiting for one block to finish. Send what you have, even if it is rough, and we adjust as the schedule firms up.
What each unit receives
Our crew removes construction dust and fine dust from surfaces, sills, frames, shelves and fixtures, wipes down walls, doors and built-in cabinets, and cleans windows, glass and sashes. We take off protective film, curing tape, stickers and labels, clean kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and washrooms, and wipe fresh sealant or silicone smudges and light paint splatter from glass, tile and fixtures with surface-safe methods. Floors are swept, vacuumed and damp-mopped, and vents and grilles are wiped on the surface.
Common areas inside the building
Interior corridors, entrance halls and lift lobbies can be included in the same project when the building is ready. The work is the same type: dust, film, labels, glass and floors. We do not clean the exterior of a high-rise, work from gondolas or do ducts. Tell us which areas are in scope, and the quote states them one by one so that nothing is assumed.
Model rooms and sales galleries
Developers often keep a model room or a sales gallery open to visitors while units are still being finished. These spaces are looked at more closely than any other, so we can include them in the same project and plan the visits around opening times. Tell us which hours the room is open to visitors and we agree on out-of-hours visits by message.
A single point of contact
One person on our side keeps in touch with your site team and your sales team. Access, keys and notices to the management office go through that person. If buyers have special requests, such as a viewing on a particular day, tell us and we adapt the order. The supervisor on each visit signs off the checklist and sends the photos to your contact.
Fixed price, team size and timing
Developer projects are quoted per project at a fixed price, from plans, floor areas, photos or a site look. A single unit can be done by one cleaner with a supervisor or two cleaners with a supervisor; for a whole building the team is sized to the job. The price is confirmed by message before the visit. Standard visits run from 9:00 to 17:00 and other times can be agreed.
Overseas buyers and investors
Many Tokyo developments sell to buyers and investors living abroad. We work in English and Japanese, so the checklist and photos can go to the buyer’s agent in the language they read. Because we reply within one hour at any time, a question from another time zone does not wait until the next morning in Tokyo.
What we do not take on, and how to pay
Cleaning does not repair. We do not offer wax stripping and sealing, floor polishing machines, HVAC duct cleaning, industrial waste removal or hauling, exterior high-rise or gondola work, removal of cured paint or adhesive damage, scratch repair or biohazard work, and we do not promise to remove damage that is part of the surface. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma; travel beyond the 23 wards is stated before booking. Companies are invoiced; bank transfer, credit card, PayPay and cash are accepted.
Storage rooms, utility rooms and entrance areas
Buyers also see the rooms that are not homes: storage rooms, trunk rooms, meter rooms, bicycle storage inside the building and the entrance hall. Dust and packaging can linger there long after the units are finished, because they are the last spaces the trades release. When they are in scope, we clean the floors, glass, doors and accessible surfaces and remove labels and tape. Chemical or electrical equipment is not touched, and we do not clean ducts.
One summary across all units
Alongside the per-unit photo reports, we can supply a simple summary: which units were cleaned, in what order, and which have items flagged for the repair trades. Your handover team can then see the state of the whole project at a glance instead of opening every report. Items flagged are those we notice as damage rather than dirt; the decision on repair stays with you and your contractor.
