Commercial Office Cleaning

Overview

Realcorp’s office cleaning service covers commercial workplaces of all sizes, from Melbourne CBD towers to suburban business parks. The service is described as reliable, discreet and tech-enabled, with schedules built around occupancy so cleaning does not collide with the working day. Most clients take after-hours cleaning — the team arrives once staff have left and the space is ready before they return — but daytime and split-shift arrangements are available where a site needs presence during business hours.

The Melbourne coverage described on the source page is the CBD plus inner suburbs including Southbank, Docklands, St Kilda Road and South Yarra, with teams experienced in working inside access-controlled commercial buildings. Realcorp names current Melbourne office clients including Davies Collison Cave at 1 Nicholson Street, 20 Enterprise Drive in Bundoora (a multi-tenancy office building with 300 staff), and Sullair in Dandenong South. Its wider commercial portfolio also names Norcal Road Business Park, an industrial and commercial business park in Nunawading. Realcorp’s site advertises office cleaning across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide, but the named office clients and suburb-level detail are Melbourne; confirm coverage directly if your site is elsewhere.

Scale is not a filter in either direction. Realcorp states it cleans sites ranging from boutique ten-desk offices to multi-level buildings with hundreds of employees, and it works both for single tenants and for building managers running whole-of-building contracts. Several of its buildings are held as caretaker positions rather than visiting contracts.

What’s included

The scope is tailored per site, but the standard office cleaning program covers:

• Vacuuming and hard floor cleaning
• Desk, surface and screen wiping
• Kitchen and lunchroom cleaning
• Bathroom and restroom hygiene
• Bin emptying and waste management
• Internal glass and window cleaning
• Reception and common area presentation
• Meeting room turnaround
• Moving furniture to vacuum underneath, as part of the tailored work program
• Disinfecting frequently touched points such as light switches and door handles
• Replenishing consumables such as hand soap and paper products

Two things sit alongside the recurring program rather than inside it. Bathroom hygiene servicing — urinal servicing with biological treatment products, sanitary bin exchange, air freshener dispensers — is a separate service line Realcorp notes carries no extra call-out when it is already your cleaning contractor. Periodic works such as carpet extraction, hard floor strip-and-seal, burnishing, external pressure washing and car park scrubbing go to Realcorp’s separate mobile Specialist Cleaning Team, and are usually scheduled annually or on an agreed cycle rather than folded into the nightly clean.

Who this is for

• Office and workplace managers in single-tenancy offices who want one accountable provider and fewer complaints from staff.
• Facilities and building managers of multi-tenancy buildings, where presentation of lobbies, lifts and common areas is judged by every tenant daily. Realcorp’s leadership includes people with prior experience as property, building and facilities managers, which the company cites as the reason it understands the reporting side of the role.
• Businesses in access-controlled CBD buildings needing security-vetted, discreet after-hours teams who can work within building access protocols.
• Multi-site organisations wanting consistent scope and reporting across several offices under one contract.
• Mixed-use building owners where a commercial tenancy sits alongside residential — see the strata and residential complex page, and the build-to-rent page for operator-run buildings.

How Realcorp delivers it

Onboarding starts with an in-person meeting to document your requirements and expectations, and to build a detailed plan for meeting them. The cleaners assigned to your building then receive site-specific training so they know the particular attention points and how to work without disrupting your operations. Realcorp states supply areas are kept organised and stocked and equipment is maintained in working order, so the schedule is not derailed by missing consumables.

Day to day, the office cleaning team works from cloud-based checklists in the Realcorp App. It records GPS-based time and attendance, task completion in real time, and live issue reports, with photo verification applied to critical and periodic tasks. Realcorp states its management team reviews all completed shifts on a daily basis, that Realcorp management performs weekly internal quality checks, and that periodic quality checks are run jointly with the client’s key contact. Written reporting from the inspection management team goes to the client on the scope of works completed.

All cleaning staff are directly employed — Realcorp does not subcontract ongoing general cleaning work — and the company describes its office cleaning staff as security-vetted and paid in line with the Cleaning Services Award. This is also what allows relief cover for unplanned absences to come from within Realcorp’s own workforce, and allows the company to offer continuity of the same team on a site and to introduce that team before commencement for sensitive or long-term contracts.

• Police checks, and Working With Children Checks where the site requires them; site-specific inductions for all staff.
• Site-specific Safe Work Method Statements, ongoing safety training, incident tracking and escalation protocols.
• Auditable KPIs and reporting, with full audit history available on request; eco-friendly product options, with GECA-compliant chemicals where possible and environmental systems described as following ISO 14001 principles.

Common questions

What does office cleaning cost in Melbourne?

Realcorp does not publish a rate card, and states that cost varies with size, frequency and scope. As an indicative range, its own page states that most offices of 500–2,000 sqm pay between $400 and $1,200 per week. Treat that as the company’s published guide, not a quote — the actual figure comes out of a site walk-through, and the range does not tell you what scope sits behind it.

Will cleaners be in the office while my team is working?

Usually not. The majority of Realcorp’s office cleaning is done after hours, once staff have left. Early morning, daytime and split-shift arrangements are available where a site needs day cover — for example, a reception or amenities refresh through the day — and are agreed as part of the scope.

How do I get evidence that a night’s clean actually happened?

Attendance is GPS-recorded through the Realcorp App, tasks are ticked off against digital checklists in real time, and critical tasks carry photo verification. Realcorp states completed shifts are reviewed daily by management and that full audit history is available on request. If specific tasks matter to your governance, name them in the contract as photo-verified rather than relying on default practice.

Can the same team clean my office every night?

Realcorp’s direct employment model is what makes continuity possible, and the company states it offers continuity wherever possible and will introduce the assigned team before commencement for sensitive or long-term sites. It also holds relief staff to cover unplanned absences, so continuity is the intent rather than an absolute guarantee.

Can you work inside our building access and security requirements?

Yes — Realcorp states its teams are security-vetted and experienced working within access-controlled commercial buildings, and that all staff complete site-specific inductions. Access arrangements, key or fob handling and after-hours building protocols are settled during the site walk-through.

We are mid-contract with another provider. How disruptive is switching?

Realcorp describes its mobilisation as fast and structured with a typical lead time of one to two weeks, and states it has set up full portfolios within days and taken over sites where a previous contractor left without notice. The practical constraint is usually your own notice period, not Realcorp’s ramp-up.

Do you handle the periodic work as well, or do I tender that separately?

Realcorp runs a separate mobile Specialist Cleaning Team with commercial-grade machinery for carpet extraction, hard floor strip-and-seal, burnishing, pressure washing and car park scrubbing, so periodic work can be scheduled under the same contract rather than tendered out.

Getting a quote

Use the office cleaning path on Realcorp’s proposal form, or call. Realcorp states it will arrange a site visit and a tailored quote within 24 hours of an enquiry, and that the in-person meeting to document requirements and expectations is part of standard onboarding. Bring floor area, occupancy, number of amenities, required frequency, access constraints and after-hours arrangements to the walk-through — those are what drive the number. An instant office cleaning quote calculator is also offered on the company’s site as a starting estimate ahead of a formal proposal.
