Need help with a job specification list to attach to a contract for a custom home construction clean up. New to the business and this is our first job and have not handled a job like this before.

I've done many construction clean-up projects over the years. Here's a basic list I start with. I like to discuss the specs before the project starts so that I and the customer both have a clear understanding of the scope of work.
Floors:
Pickup debris Sweep/dust mop Remove spots/stains Scrub Apply finish/sealer Wash with hose/power washer Clean baseboards
Carpets:
Vacuum Spot clean Clean via extraction, bonnet, etc. Apply ant-soiling treatment
Dust:
Dust horizontal surfaces Dust fixtures Dust high areas
Furniture:
Dust Clean & polish Remove stickers
Fixtures:
Clean & polish finished metal surfaces, ie, chrome, brass, etc Remove labels Clean sinks, showers, tubs, sinks, lavs Clean counters & cabinets
Walls & Doors:
Dust Spot clean Remove labels
Ceilings:
Clean lights Spot clean
Glass:
Clean interior & exterior windows and doors Clean window frames Remove labels
Grounds:
Pickup trash Sweep and/or hose/power wash/scrub walks, drives, poatios, porches, patios, etc
It's a good idea to include a rework agreement in your proposal. Other contractors onsite have a tendency to go back through areas because they are behind schedule or are completing their punch lists.
Keep detailed records of dates and times you and your team work onsite, work performed, damage notes and photos, and crews that enter previously cleaned areas. On jobs that require several days, weeks, or months, get the superintendent to sign off on work. Daily is ideal.
Chances are that the superintendent or architect will give you a punch list. If it's only a few items and I'm to blame, I'll usually just take care of the as a favor. It there are a lot of items and I'm clearly not to blame, refer to your Job log and politely and tactfully refer to your rework agreement.
Good luck,
Michael
