A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR MOVE
Define the work before setting the schedule
Begin with a list of furniture, boxed inventory, fixtures and equipment. Identify what belongs to the business, what remains with the property and what another vendor will handle. Some equipment needs specialist preparation, disconnection or servicing, so raise those requirements early.
A site review can help clarify loading access and the movement of larger pieces. Agree on a clear scope before coordinating staff, suppliers and the opening of your new location.

Work with the building and the business calendar
Share loading dock availability, elevator bookings and any restrictions on deliveries. If the business will remain partly open, identify the areas that need to stay accessible and discuss whether a staged move is practical.
After hours or weekend requests should be reviewed for availability. Name one person who can approve changes and answer questions at each site.

Label for a useful arrival
Create a location plan for the new premises, then label items to match it. Group supplies by department or function so the team can place them where they will be used.
Clearly identify anything moving to storage and keep an inventory of those items. Your staff should retain control of sensitive records and business critical materials according to your own procedures.
What types of businesses can discuss a move with you?
Frank & Sons offers commercial moving services for a range of businesses. Share your industry, site details and inventory so the office can assess the moving work and any specialist requirements.
Can the move happen outside normal business hours?
Tell us the hours that would work best and any building restrictions. Scheduling requests are reviewed against availability and the scope of the move. Confirm the agreed timing before notifying staff or customers.
Can excess furniture go into storage?
Storage can be discussed for furniture or inventory that will not immediately go to the new premises. Provide a separate list and explain how long you expect to need space and access.
