What to Ask During a Walkthrough

Current vendor status: Are they replacing someone? Why? This tells you their pain points and what not to repeat.

Scope expectations: What's included? What's optional? Do they want windows, floor waxing, or deep cleaning priced separately?

Frequency and schedule: How often? What days? Are there after-hours or early-morning requirements?

Access and keys: How do you get in? Who's the contact if there's an issue? Is alarm code access required?

Special areas: Server rooms, labs, kitchens, outdoor spaces — flag anything that needs extra attention or products.

#

What to Inspect

Restroom count and condition: More restrooms mean more labor. Older fixtures may need more attention.

Floor types: Carpet, VCT, tile, concrete — each requires different equipment and time.

Traffic patterns: Entryways, hallways, breakrooms — these are the dirtiest spots and should be prioritized.

Vertical surfaces and glass: Are there lots of windows, glass partitions, or lobby glass that need regular cleaning?

Why a Checklist Matters

Walking through without a system leads to missed details and underpriced bids. A checklist ensures you capture everything — so your quote covers the real scope.

Use this tool to generate a facility-specific list of questions and inspection points. After the walkthrough, copy the follow-up message to send a professional thank-you and confirm next steps.
