At Merck General Contracting, our commitment to excellence doesn’t end when the last nail is driven or the final coat of paint dries. Post-construction services are an essential part of every project we complete. They ensure that your new facility, whether it’s an office building, apartment complex, church, or commercial space, is fully prepared for occupancy and operation. In Waco, Texas, and the surrounding Central Texas area, we’ve built a reputation not just for quality construction—but for going the extra mile once the build is done.
What Are Post-Construction Services?
Post-construction services are the final phase in the commercial construction process. This is when the job site transitions from a construction zone into a finished, operational space. It includes everything from final walkthroughs and punch list completion to cleanup, inspections, equipment testing, and client training. At Merck General Contracting, this stage is treated with as much care and professionalism as the rest of the project to ensure everything meets expectations and functions as it should.
Punch List Completion and Final Inspections
Before turning over the project, we walk the site with our client to create and finalize the punch list—a detailed list of tasks that need to be completed or corrected before the building is considered finished. This may include small paint touch-ups, hardware adjustments, or fixture replacements. We coordinate with our subcontractors and vendors to handle punch list items quickly and efficiently. In addition, we conduct internal quality inspections and assist with any municipal final inspections required for occupancy.
Deep Cleaning and Site Preparation
No matter how well a construction project is managed, there’s always a mess to clean up. Our post-construction team performs a comprehensive site cleaning that includes dust removal, window cleaning, floor polishing, trash removal, and surface sanitation. This deep clean ensures your space looks as professional and polished as it was designed to be. For clients moving in immediately, we also offer move-in readiness preparations, so your building is fully functional from day one.
Systems Testing and Operational Readiness
Before turning over the building, we ensure that all major systems—HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire alarms, and security systems—are fully operational and tested. Our technicians verify that everything runs smoothly and complies with building codes and safety regulations. We also coordinate with equipment vendors to provide any necessary operational training or documentation, especially for specialized systems or commercial equipment.
Warranty Documentation and Support
We don’t just hand you the keys and disappear. We provide detailed warranty information for all materials, systems, and components used during the build. Our team will walk you through maintenance schedules, warranty procedures, and how to file claims if necessary. For our clients in Waco and across Central Texas, we’re a local partner you can rely on—even after the build is complete.
Client Orientation and Support
Understanding your new space is just as important as building it. We offer complete client orientation services, walking you through the building’s layout, access systems, mechanicals, and emergency protocols. For commercial buildings and multi-tenant developments, we also help train property managers or operations staff so they’re confident in managing the new facility.
Ongoing Relationship and Continued Service
Many contractors consider a project finished once the work is done. At Merck General Contracting, we view post-construction as the beginning of our long-term relationship with the client. Whether it’s future maintenance, expansions, or renovations, we want to be your go-to resource. Our team is available to answer follow-up questions, troubleshoot issues, and help you get the most out of your investment.
