Sustainability

Greener buildings, in the scope rather than the slogan

Green cleaning products, HEPA vacuuming, LED and HVAC efficiency, native and water-wise planting, recycling programmes and planned routes. Each one is a line you can ask for in your scope.

Questions people ask

Does green cleaning cost more?

Marginally for products; the labour is the same. Many clients choose it for occupant health or certifications.

Can you help with a green building certification?

Yes. We work with your team on the cleaning, waste and grounds credits and supply the documentation.

Do you use electric landscaping equipment?

Battery blowers and trimmers where a client or city requires them; the quote states the equipment.
