Thu Thiem in An Khanh ward: the developments we work in
Thu Thiem is no longer a ward. Since 1 July 2025 the city has used wards, its local units, instead of districts, and clause 78, Article 1 of Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 placed the whole old Thu Thiem ward in the new An Khanh ward. Contracts that still say “Thu Thiem ward, Thu Duc City” or “District 2” are accepted.
Our office is in the same ward, at 72 Nguyen Co Thach in Sala, and bookings run from 07:00 to 20:00, weekends included. Being close helps with surveys, consecutive sessions and return visits, but appointments are still fixed in advance and same-day visits are not promised.
- Empire City
- On the Saigon River, about 14.5 ha according to Tuoi Tre and VIR; Tilia, Linden and Cove Residences have been handed over.
- The Metropole Thu Thiem
- Built in four phases; VnExpress lists studios to four bedrooms, duplexes and sky villas of up to about 335 m². Duplexes are surveyed before we quote.
- The River Thu Thiem
- Seine, Thames and Hudson towers, 525 units according to VnExpress, penthouses and pool villas included. Give the tower and unit when booking.
- Thu Thiem Zeit River
- Towers T1 and T2 and low-rise townhouses; Tuoi Tre (August 2023) reported units delivered with kitchen cabinets, appliances, ceiling-concealed aircon and a smart-home system.
- Sala, Thao Dien, Binh Trung
- See our District 2 page.
High floors, river wind and neighbours still fitting out
High riverside units usually have wide glass, windy balconies, stone or timber floors and valuable furniture. River wind leaves fine dust on glass, railings and door tracks, while fitted kitchens, appliances and smart-home panels have finishes that abrasive tools would mark, so the job needs both machinery and a light hand.
In complexes built in phases, residents live beside units still being fitted out, and dust reaches glass and aircon filters faster through corridors, door gaps and balconies. With rain from May to November and average relative humidity near 79.5%, a unit shut while its owner is away easily picks up a damp smell. Typical requests:
- a unit just received, before or after the fit-out;
- a duplex, sky villa or penthouse before the family moves in;
- a rental between two leases, or an owner's unit closed for months.
What is included for each type of property
Each checklist is written after the survey, room by room, and the team lead checks each area as it is finished. In a new unit, book once drilling and cabinet fitting are over, then have the aircon cleaned, because units run during works draw plaster and wood dust into their filters, and bring in soft furnishings last.
- New unit
- Dry vacuuming before wet wiping; dust out of cupboards, tracks and appliance gaps; adhesive and paint off glass and tiles. Visible scratches are noted with photos, which does not replace a technical handover inspection.
- Unit delivered furnished
- Kitchen units, induction hob and large glass cleaned with a neutral solution and a soft cloth, never a scourer; smart-home panels wiped dry or barely damp, never sprayed.
- Duplex, sky villa, penthouse
- Most effort is high up: double-height glass, curtain rails, lights and stair edges, within safe reach of a proper ladder. Stone and timber are tested in a hidden corner first.
- Rental between leases
- Kitchen, bathroom, cupboards, inside glass and floors over one or two sessions; the Up Report, our before-and-after photo record, is a reference at handover.
- Office or showroom
- After hours or before opening. Files stay put, and products move only with your consent.
Cost in Thu Thiem: reference prices and a worked example
There is no single industrial-grade rate. For homes the component services have listed prices per m², shown for budgeting; what applies is the all-inclusive figure in your written quote. Offices, showrooms and business premises vary too much in glass, ceiling height, flooring and permitted hours for a per-m² rate, so they are quoted after a free survey.
An example on an area chosen for illustration, not tied to any development: a 90 m² apartment cleaned after handover is 90 m² × 22,500 VND = 2,025,000 VND; once lived in, a deep clean is 90 m² × 15,000 VND = 1,350,000 VND.
- What moves the price: floor area and storeys; leftover paint, adhesive and dust; the share of stone, timber and glass; ceiling height; the building's permitted hours.
- Outside glass only where safely reachable from inside, a balcony or a terrace; we do not clean curtain walls from ropes or a gondola.
- The quote is final unless you agree an addition in writing. You pay after the walk-through, by transfer or cash, with a possible deposit on a large job; VAT invoices from Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited, tax code 0316973414.

Getting a team and machines into a Thu Thiem tower
Management offices here commonly want the list of workers in advance, identity papers at the lobby and the goods lift for the scrubber and vacuums; a unit being fitted out may have separate works hours. Circular 05/2024/TT-BXD requires apartment rules to address security and environmental hygiene, and each office applies it its own way, so we follow what you or management tell us. UpClean is independent of every developer and operator here; booking, sign-off and payment are between you and us.
- Give the project, tower or sub-zone and unit; for an office, the permitted works hours. The specialists' names and photos come ahead for registration.
- Lobby formalities after an on-time arrival are not counted as lateness.
- Scrubbing water stays in the machine's tank, never in a corridor or on a balcony; waste goes sealed to the collection point.
Booking, commitments, and arranging it from abroad
- Call or message 0968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo with the project, tower, unit, area, photos and your deadline; a free survey on site or by video leads to the written quote.
- Pick a time between 07:00 and 20:00. On the day the unit is photographed as found and protected, and the team lead checks each area with you, in person or by video, before the Up Report is sent.
- In English
- Enquiries, quotes, booking confirmations and the Up Report can all be in English. To have an English-speaking specialist on site, note it when you book; if we cannot arrange one, we say so in advance and support you by phone or message.
- Keys from abroad
- Leave the key or access card with management, a relative or your agent; only the assigned specialist handles it, and keys are never copied.
- Commitments
- More than 15 minutes late: 10% off that visit. Items below standard redone free if reported within 48 hours of the Up Report. Changes free with 24 hours' notice, otherwise a 30% fee.
