Count furniture by room, label what stays, and separate furniture from electronics and records. A precise inventory makes access planning and estimate discussions faster.
Build the inventory by location
Walk the office in one direction and log each desk, return, chair, table, bookcase, and filing cabinet. For modular systems, count panels and workstations rather than guessing a room total. Photograph unusual joinery, anchored storage, and oversized conference tables.
Separate data and property decisions
Remove documents, keys, cash drawers, badges, and personal property. Computers, monitors, drives, and network equipment are not ordinary furniture. Assign an internal owner to confirm they have been removed and handled under the organization’s data policy.

Confirm building access
Ask property management about elevator reservations, loading docks, floor protection, certificates, and permitted hours. Share those requirements with the provider before scheduling. The office furniture removal page lists the factors that should accompany the inventory.
