The problem
Builders and developers must hand over clean premises, but their crews cannot remove fine dust, paint marks and cement residue properly.
The solution
A specialist crew that comes after the works with the right equipment and products to make homes, offices and shops ready to move in.
Your customers
Renovation firms, developers, architects, property managers and owners finishing works or preparing a rental.
How you make money
3 to 8 € per m² depending on condition, or a 250 to 1,200 € flat fee per home, billed on handover.
Competition
General cleaning companies, informal day labourers and site workers who are asked to do the final clean.
Who has an edge
A reliable, organised person from cleaning or construction who meets handover dates quickly becomes the builders' regular provider.
The risks
Irregular work tied to building schedules, late payment by contractors, workplace accidents and damage to new materials.
The first 3 steps
- Buy a site vacuum, a second-hand floor scrubber and products
- Offer a first job at a trial price to five builders
- Take before and after photos to build a reference file
How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €4,000 − costs €2,000 = €2,000 net per month. Revenue: 7 homes × €450 + 170 m² × €5. Costs: products and equipment, vehicle, casual helper, insurance, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
