Questions, answered

A few things you may be wondering.

What should be included in an office moving inventory?

List workstations, desks, chairs, conference furniture, files, shelving, electronics, break-room items, and any heavy or fragile equipment. Note quantities, dimensions, and destination locations where possible.

Who should coordinate office-building access?

Assign a contact for each property to confirm loading docks, freight elevators, security access, restricted hours, parking, and required documents before the move date.

Does an office mover handle computers and network equipment?

Do not assume technology disconnection, cabling, data handling, or reconnection is included. Define those responsibilities in writing and coordinate any required technology or specialty vendors.
