The Marq at 29B Nguyen Dinh Chieu: what we clean, and the ward question
VnExpress (November 2021) describes a 5,146 m² plot with two 26-storey towers and 515 luxury apartments of one to four bedrooms. We take industrial-grade cleaning (vệ sinh công nghiệp: a team clean with professional machines) across that range, inside the part you own; lobby, corridors and common areas belong to building management.
VnExpress (November 2022) places the address in Da Kao ward, District 1. When wards replaced districts on 1 July 2025, Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 split Da Kao between Sai Gon and Tan Dinh wards without listing streets, and sources differ, so we do not say which ward the building is in now.
- Address for booking
- 29B Nguyen Dinh Chieu with the old form (Da Kao, District 1) or the ward on your updated papers, plus tower, floor and unit; we book in both wards.
- Timeline and hours
- Topped out in May 2020, handover expected at the end of 2021 (VnExpress). Bookings 07:00 to 20:00 daily; same-day visits are not promised.
- Who we are here
- Independent, not a partner of the developer or the building's operator; we work directly for residents and owners.
Ceilings of 3.2 m, some spaces up to 6.9 m: where the dust hides
VnExpress gives a standard ceiling height of 3.2 m, with some spaces reaching 6.9 m. Up there dust sits out of sight on curtain rails, door tops, decorative lights and aircon vents; wipe only to arm's reach and within days it drifts onto the sofa and floor. So the clean starts high, and because a tall room has more wall and glass than its floor area suggests, the team lead lists the high-level work separately at the survey.
- Curtain rails and pelmets
- Vacuumed, then damp-wiped, with tall curtains covered meanwhile; taking them down to wash is an add-on at the curtain-cleaning price.
- Lights and vents
- Within safe reach of an A-frame ladder; a large chandelier or very high point is checked by photo or survey before we accept it.
- Ceiling cassette aircon
- The grille is wiped; cleaning cover, filter and drain tray is a separate service.
- Furniture below
- Sofa and dining table covered before the ladder goes up, the floor done last. Anything beyond safe reach is named in the quote and not taken on.
A double-glazed façade: which faces we clean
According to VnExpress, the whole façade is double-glazed against noise and heat, which divides each pane into the inner face, the cavity and the tower's outer face. City-centre dust still enters through the balcony, door gaps and air-conditioning and settles on the inner glass and tracks; that side we clean fully, squeegeed and dried at the edges.
- Inner glass walls and doors
- In scope, including panes in tall rooms within safe ladder reach; frames and tracks are vacuumed of grit before damp wiping.
- Cavity between the layers
- Not in our scope. Dust or moisture seen inside goes into the Up Report, our photo record of the visit, for you to raise with management.
- Outer face
- We do not work from ropes or lean past the railing; it belongs to the building.
What a clean includes, from one to four bedrooms
The checklist is written room by room after a survey, in the unit or from photos and video. The usual emphasis:
- One bedroom
- Often let or home to professionals: kitchen, bathroom, glass and floor first, with Up Report photos that serve the handover between leases.
- Two and three bedrooms
- Large glass doors and built-in wardrobes; families with young children should mention it so rooms are ordered and aired properly.
- Four bedrooms, high living room
- Surveyed in the unit; high curtains, glass and lights take most of the time, and the job can run over two consecutive sessions.
- Just fitted out
- Several dry vacuum passes from the top down before damp wiping, adhesive and paint treated by surface; post-construction rate.
- Floors and exclusions
- Stone and tile machine-scrubbed, timber cleaned with little water. Not taken on: rope work, the glazing cavity, hazardous chemicals, repairs or replacement parts.
What a lived-in unit and a newly fitted unit cost
There is no single industrial-cleaning rate. Apartments use the listed per-m² prices of the component services below, and you pay the all-inclusive figure in the written quote that follows a free survey.
Two assumed sizes, for illustration rather than project data: a lived-in 60 m² one-bedroom unit comes to 900,000 VND and a 200 m² four-bedroom unit to 3,000,000 VND; just after a fit-out, 1,350,000 VND and 4,500,000 VND. Both allow for the per-visit minimum; high-level work is confirmed at the survey.
- The price moves with floor area, ceiling height and glass, the state of kitchen and bathrooms, the number of sessions and the building's permitted hours.
- Tall-curtain washing, cassette aircon, sofa and mattress cleaning are add-ons at their own prices in one quote; nothing is added without your written consent. VAT invoices come from Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited, tax code 0316973414.

| Offices, showrooms, business premises | All-inclusive written quote after a free survey. |
Access in a low-density tower, and the steps to sign-off
We do not publish or infer The Marq's own rules. Low-density luxury buildings often manage access closely: residents announce service staff, who show identity papers and take ladders and machines by the service route. At the survey your Up specialist asks which lift takes the equipment, when contractors may work and how much notice registration needs; you ask reception, and we prepare the rest.
- Message or call 0968 726 135 on Zalo or WhatsApp with bedrooms, tall rooms, glass, curtains and photos; units with a high living room are surveyed in person.
- The written quote lists each item, high-level work in and out of scope, the team and the time; names and photos follow for reception.
- On the day: photos as found, floors covered, work from high to low to the Up Standard, our working standard, each room checked by the team lead. You sign off in person or by video, receive the Up Report and then pay.
- Commitments
- Over 15 minutes late means 10% off that session; the quoted figure holds; moved items are photographed and put back; anything below standard is redone free within 48 hours of the Up Report.
- Damage and changes
- Report damage with photos within 24 hours and we check it against the as-found photos, taking responsibility under our policy where a specialist was at fault. Rescheduling is free with 24 hours' notice, otherwise 30%.
