Construction dust during house building?

I recommend everyone to check ALL water pipes once again after the cleaners are done and before the screed is poured.... Our craftsmen did a good clean job, BUT unfortunately they accidentally damaged the pipes lying on the floor (coupling came loose)... if we hadn't noticed that - I don't even want to think about it - it was the main line to the sink...

We did not clean at all during construction. If a trade was sloppy, there was simply no payment until it was fixed. At least according to VOB, it is the contractor's duty to maintain order. Swept clean is acceptable. It should also be part of the "site etiquette," regardless of which legal standard applies.

If the electrician creates dust while chasing, he has to remove it. Maybe next time he will be smart enough to connect a vacuum extractor. If a plasterer "smudges" the floor, he has to remove it. Who saved themselves from doing the necessary covering work?

In general, I recommend every builder to buy an industrial vacuum cleaner. Plus the appropriate bags for "dusty" tasks. Household vacuum cleaners do not survive that long.

So the majority here seem to have good experience or are not so picky.

The electricians probably did a quick sweep as well, but now the dust is everywhere on the window frames, etc.

And I don’t believe that the trades really clean thoroughly. Much, especially of the construction dust, will simply remain under the floor structure...

That's why before the [Estrich], do it yourself once ...

How is one supposed to get the tradespeople to clean up, please? I am building for the first time, but the cliché "after me the flood" seems to fit well on construction sites.

When cleaning, please pay attention to using the right equipment. Fine dust has become an issue even on construction sites. So if you clean with vacuum cleaners, try to pay attention to the correct filter class if possible. There is a guideline from the BG on this, if I remember correctly. Constant sweeping can be counterproductive in terms of air quality and occupational safety – because the fine dust does not settle back to the ground after a few hours but stays in the air for days.

I also consider sweeping nonsense or unhealthy. It stirs up more than it removes.

I have an industrial vacuum cleaner and will give it a try.

Can the dust actually burn into windows or something harmful?
