Turn a building problem into a clear mandate
A useful mandate connects the observed problem, affected zone, frequency, access, communication and expected result before price is discussed.
- Recurring complaints about common areas: clarify zones, frequency, touch points and the follow-up expected from the provider
- Waste room is hard to keep under control: document residue, odours, overflow, access and the frequency needed to stabilize the area
- Manager responsible for several buildings: consolidate recurring mandates, one-time requests and supplier communication
- Condo or commercial space nearing handover: plan final cleaning before inspection, delivery, visits or possession
Provider evaluation checklist
Before comparing price, confirm that the provider understands managed buildings: written scope by zone, access, frequency, extras, issue reporting and difficult areas.
- Demonstrated experience with managed buildings, condominiums, condo boards and multi-zone properties
- Written scope by zone: lobbies, corridors, stairs, elevators, garages, shared rooms and visible surfaces
- Ability to handle common areas, waste rooms, containers and compactors when the mandate requires it
- Clear distinction between recurring upkeep, one-time work, approved extras and complaint recovery
- Documented access rules: keys, fobs, parking, service windows, elevators and on-site contacts
- Reporting process: photos, visit notes, observed issues and escalation to the manager
- Visible proof: documented work, client types, general zones and results without private information
- Clear quote: frequency, included zones, exclusions, timing, communication lead and start conditions
Request checklist
A structured request helps separate recurring upkeep, one-time reset, waste-room cleaning, common areas and post-construction delivery needs.
- Building type: condominium, rental building, commercial property, office, institution or construction site
- Service area: Montreal, Laval, North Shore or Greater Montreal
- Floors and zones to clean: lobbies, corridors, stairs, elevators, garages, waste rooms, containers or shared rooms
- Current and desired frequency: one-time, weekly, several visits per week, post-work or pre-delivery
- Waste room, container, compost or recycling needs
- Access constraints: keys, fobs, parking, elevators, access windows and on-site contacts
- Photos, plans, urgency, desired start date and preferred contact method
Cleaning mandate comparison
The right choice depends on the problem, frequency, affected zones, expected follow-up and information available before a quote.
| Criterion | One-time cleaning | Recurring upkeep | Post-construction / pre-delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best use | Reset, targeted complaint, deep cleaning or a specific zone to recover | Stable routine for common areas, lobbies, corridors, elevators and occupied buildings | Construction dust, pre-delivery, inspection, handover or commercial space readiness |
| Common areas | Useful for a visible reset or seasonal cleaning | Best option to maintain presentation week after week | Useful after work in corridors, lobbies, stairwells and circulation zones |
| Waste rooms / containers | Adapted to odours, residue, floor marks or overflow | More effective when issues return or traffic is high | Relevant when construction waste or dust affects drop zones |
| Reporting | Photos or completion note when useful | More structured follow-up: issues, visits, recurring problems and manager communication | Coordination with timeline, inspections, phases and final touch-ups |
| Useful quote information | Photos, affected zone, urgency, access and expected result | Floors, zones, frequency, access, complaints, communication expectations and extras | Project type, surface, deadline, dust, phases, access and delivery date |
