Are builders expected to clean up?

I have just had a pergola completed in my back yard.

The builder has done quite a good job and I am quite happy with it.

However, he has left very large pile (several cubic yards/meters) off wooden off cuts and roofing iron in the corner of the back yard.

Should l expect him to clean that up before I make my final payment?

I live in Australia. Thanks

    Was it in the contract? Cleanup is an added extra and if you have paid for the materials - and these are left over - him removing them would be stealing.

    I would assume so since many construction materials need to be discarded in a specific way/location. You could opt to ask him.

    No matter where you live clean up is part of the job.
