ᐅ Construction dust during home building?

All the trades cleaned up behind themselves carefully every day.

It was exactly the same for us. Everything was exemplary.

I’m used to it being the same in everyday life. Every painter, drywall installer, or whoever else cleans up afterward, so why shouldn’t it be the same during house construction...

So right now, the electricians are installing the outlet boxes. The entire shell construction is now covered with a fine stone dust. I hardly think it will be cleaned up...

Everything was neat and clean on our site as well. It was rare for any trade to leave materials or tools behind in the evening. If they did, it was cleared away the next day.

We also had dirt on site.
I vacuumed about 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of quartz sand. It was excess from the asphalt.
The further along your build is, the cleaner the work should be.
This is only partly related to price; it mostly depends on the craftsmen’s own standards. If tradespeople don’t pay attention or clean up, you just have to talk to them. If that doesn’t work, the next level of management must get involved. That didn’t happen in our case.
Of course, if you only want the cheapest option, the site probably won’t be very clean...

Hello

Using a vacuum cleaner during the shell construction is a bit excessive. Sweeping is completely sufficient. Before installing the screed, a bit more thorough cleaning is preferable. I consider it obvious that each trade disposes of its own waste and leaves the construction site reasonably clean and in line with the progress of the build. A vacuum cleaner only becomes truly useful just before laying the floor coverings.
