No matter how long your company has been on the current lease, prepping for a building turnover can quickly become an exhaustive experience. Your team has so much to do, it’s easy that something as mundane as cleaning could fall through the cracks. However, it’s an essential part of turning the keys back over to the building’s management team. That’s why so many companies choose to hire a professional cleaning service, and doing so can provide numerous benefits for your organization.

What is a building turnover?

There are any number of reasons a company would choose to move offices. Whether it’s a change in team size or new technological needs, it’s not uncommon for a business to choose not to re-sign its current office lease. Whatever the reason for the change, once the decision is made, it means you have to start preparing for the building turnover.

It’s the process of moving out of your current office space and getting it set up for the owner to retake control of it. Much like renting an apartment, when you move out, your company has certain responsibilities, and one of those is ensuring the space is in the original condition of when you moved in. While you could leave that responsibility to your team, many organizations prefer to use an outside resource because of how beneficial it can be to your productivity and bottom line.

Benefits of professional cleaners before building turnover.

Avoid costly fines and fees.

A common hesitation to hiring professional cleaners is that it requires an upfront investment, but that investment could end up saving you money in the long run. Many landlords require a security deposit before a tenant can move in. That money serves as a safety guarantee for various clauses, and one of those typically covers the condition of the space upon moving out. If you leave it a mess, you could lose your security deposit and possibly be required to pay for any necessary repairs.

Ensure you get out on time.

Once you inform your landlord of your intentions to move out, you’ll have a deadline for the building turnover. Much like leaving the space in a mess, failure to move out by that deadline could result in financial recourse against your organization. When you partner with a professional cleaning provider, you can inform them of that deadline and trust them to return the office to its original condition by that date.

Keep your team productive.

Office moves inevitably lead to a dip in production. However, you can help diminish that loss of productivity with a professional cleaner. Rather than having your team focus on cleaning tasks like vacuuming, cleaning windows, and disinfecting surfaces, they can spend their time on more mission-critical tasks, such as getting the new office move-in ready. Plus, with professionals, you can have peace of mind knowing the cleanup is being done the right way and the building will look great when you hand it back to the owner.
