Service specification

Purpose and service overview

Hallways, stairwells, lobbies, elevators, fitness rooms, leasing offices, clubhouses, and other agreed common areas. Recurring service plans aligned with traffic, property size, and resident schedules.

Typical scope inclusions

The following are examples of tasks that may be included when specifically listed in the proposal or service schedule:

  • Hallways, stairs, landings, and elevator lobbies
  • Leasing office and reception spaces if included
  • Clubhouse, fitness, and amenity areas per schedule
  • Restrooms and shared kitchens if included
  • Common-area floors, touchpoints, and waste stations

Items that require separate review or pricing

To avoid scope gaps, the following are not assumed to be included unless expressly agreed in writing:

  • Resident apartments unless separately authorized
  • Personal belongings or unattended packages
  • Maintenance repairs, pest treatment, or biohazard cleanup
  • Unscheduled event cleanup unless agreed

Service delivery sequence

  1. Review site information, service areas, surfaces, and access requirements.
  2. Confirm work window, site contact, safety rules, and materials/equipment responsibilities.
  3. Perform tasks in the agreed order and protect adjacent finishes and occupied areas.
  4. Complete the agreed checklist and report any blocked, unsafe, or inaccessible areas.
  5. Coordinate inspection, correction of included deficiencies, and closeout.

Quality review and completion

Completion should be evaluated against the written scope and agreed acceptance criteria—not an undefined expectation of “everything.” The client and service provider should identify the areas inspected, any exceptions, and any follow-up work authorized.

Frequently asked questions

Can this service be included in a larger contract?

Yes. Related services can be combined in a proposal when the scope, pricing, schedule, and responsibilities are clearly identified.

Can you price from plans and specifications?

Bid documents can be submitted for review. A walkthrough or clarification may still be required to validate site conditions and quantities.

What happens if the scope changes?

Changes should be documented, priced, and approved by the authorized client representative before additional work proceeds, except for immediate safety actions.
