Count furniture by type and room before requesting an office clearout. An inventory reduces surprises, identifies dismantling needs, and makes access planning easier.
Count by room and type
List desks, returns, task chairs, conference chairs, tables, bookcases, file cabinets, reception furniture, and modular panels. Separate items that stay from items that leave, and mark them in a way staff can understand.
Record dismantling and data concerns
Note which desks or workstations are modular, wall-mounted, powered, or connected to data cabling. Remove computers, documents, keys, and storage media before the furniture work begins. Qualified personnel should handle electrical or building-system connections.
Plan access around the business
Confirm loading-zone rules, elevator reservations, security procedures, floor protection, and the hours when noise or hallway use is allowed. Assign one on-site contact who can answer scope questions.

When to ask for an assessment
Stop and ask for help when the piece is unusually heavy, built in, powered, attached to a wall, made with a fragile top, or difficult to reach safely. Share photos and measurements with the provider instead of testing a risky lift.
