Build the inventory by zone
Walk the office in the same order the crew will clear it: private offices, open work areas, conference rooms, storage, break room, then loading path. Count bulky items and photograph anything difficult to describe.
Separate ownership before scheduling
Leased copiers, network equipment, employee belongings, and records need an owner before the removal date. A hauler should not make that decision at the loading dock.
Access checklist
Record elevator dimensions, dock reservation windows, parking limits, stairs, door widths, and the building contact. Include the handoff deadline and any quiet-hour rules.
Before you request an estimate
- Count and photograph the items.
- Identify anything that stays or belongs to a vendor.
- Document stairs, elevators, doors, and loading access.
- Share the deadline and building time windows.
