CBD office cleaning is a logistics job wearing a mop. The work is not difficult to describe — kitchens, bathrooms, floors, glass, bins — but it fails when nobody walked the floor, nobody wrote the alarm down, and the crew is guessing which kitchen is still in use at 8pm. This is how we run after-hours programmes in the city, and what you should demand from any contractor.
Onboarding that is not optional
- Site walk-through of every floor in scope, including the recycling room nobody mentions.
- Security: fobs, alarm set/unset, after-hours lighting, which tenant doors stay locked.
- Custom checklist: daily versus weekly versus monthly, named not implied.
- A named supervisor and a backup if that person is away.
- Consumables: soap and paper on the same account, or a written “tenant supplies their own”.
What “after hours” should mean
It means your people are not sharing the kitchen with a vacuum at 4:30pm. Early morning, evening and weekend slots are normal. If a team works late, the crew starts in empty zones. If a floor is a 24-hour operation, the contract should say so — do not hide a night desk in a “vacant after 6” brief.
Kitchens make or break the Monday mood. Microwave interiors, sink drains, fridge fronts and the floor around the bin are not extras. Bathrooms need restocking, not just a wipe. Internal glass in meeting rooms is on the weekly list unless you enjoy cloudy panes in client pitches.
Property managers subcontracting a whole tower should give us tenant-sensitive notes once, in writing. We do not take instructions from a random person on the floor that contradict the building rules.
