The construction acceptance is the decisive moment at the end of every renovation or construction project. Craftsmen, developers, and homeowners must ensure that all surfaces are clean, free of residue, and without defects upon handover. This guide shows what matters.
Why is preparing for construction acceptance so important?
During construction acceptance, all visible defects are documented. Deep primer splashes on windows, adhesive residue on tiles, or primer residue on frames can be classified as defects – and lead to mandatory rework or withholding of payment.
The most common dirt before construction acceptance
- Deep primer on window panes and frames: Occurs when priming walls and ceilings
- Adhesive residue from masking films and tape: Remains on tiles, window sills, and heater fins
- Glaze residue on wooden frames: After wood protection work on windows and doors
- Construction dust and sanding particles: On all horizontal surfaces

Frequently asked questions about cleaning for construction acceptance
How long before construction acceptance should I start cleaning?
At least 1-2 days before – so there's enough time for stubborn areas and retreatment.
Are HATOCH® products safe for new coatings?
Yes – all products are solvent-free and leave no residue that could affect new coatings.
What to do about deep primer on freshly painted walls?
Caution: Always test on fresh paint first. On dried paint (at least 48h), the HATOCH® Remover is generally safe.
