Office furniture is often designed to stay in place once it has been installed. When a business moves, changes its layout or prepares an office for turnover, workstations, desks and other larger pieces may need to be taken apart before they can be moved safely and efficiently.
Manova Services provides office furniture disassembly and reassembly services for businesses throughout New Jersey. We can assist with furniture that needs to be relocated within the same property, moved to another office or reorganized as part of a workplace reconfiguration.
Before work begins, we review the furniture involved, where it is going and how the disassembly relates to the rest of the project.
Disassembly Planned Around the Furniture and the Move
Taking furniture apart is only useful if the components can be organized and reassembled correctly afterward.
The process should begin by identifying which furniture needs to be disassembled, which components belong together and where each item will be located after the move.
Some projects involve only a few desks or conference tables. Others may include multiple workstations, storage units and modular furniture spread across different areas of an office.
Understanding the scope before work starts helps determine the labor, sequencing and other services that may be required.
Office Furniture We Can Help Disassemble & Reassemble
Workstations & Modular Furniture
Workstations and modular office furniture may consist of multiple panels, surfaces, supports and connecting components.
Depending on the furniture system and project requirements, Manova Services can assist with disassembly before relocation and reassembly at the destination.
If layouts, installation instructions or other furniture information are available, providing them before the project can help clarify how the furniture should be configured in the new space.
Desks & Office Furniture
Larger desks, tables, storage units and other office furniture may need to be partially or fully disassembled before they can pass through doorways, elevators or other access points.
We evaluate the furniture and planned destination so the required work can be included in the project scope.
Conference Tables
Conference tables can be difficult to relocate as complete units because of their size, weight or construction.
When appropriate for the furniture, components can be disassembled for relocation and reassembled in the destination conference room according to the agreed project plan.
Existing Office Furniture Reconfiguration
Not every project involves moving to a new building.
Businesses may want to change the arrangement of an existing office, create additional workstations or reorganize departments within the same property.
When compatible with the furniture and available components, existing office furniture may be disassembled and reconfigured to support a different layout.
Furniture Being Removed From the Property
During an office relocation or decommissioning project, some furniture may not be going to the new location.
When removal is included in the scope, approved furniture can be disassembled as necessary to help clear the space.
The client should identify which items are moving, remaining or being removed before the project begins.
Our Disassembly & Reassembly Process
1. Identify the Furniture
We begin by determining what furniture needs to be disassembled and whether the project is part of an office move, reconfiguration or decommissioning.
Photos, furniture information and approximate quantities can help during the initial discussion.
2. Review the Workspace
Depending on the project, we may review the office, furniture, access points and destination layout before work begins.
This helps identify furniture that may require additional preparation and provides a better understanding of the overall project.
3. Establish the Project Scope
The scope should identify which furniture will be disassembled, where it is going and whether reassembly is included.
Related services such as moving, storage, installation or furniture removal should also be identified at this stage.
4. Disassembly & Organization
Furniture included in the project is disassembled according to the agreed scope.
Components should remain organized throughout the relocation process so they can be matched with the appropriate furniture during reassembly.
5. Relocation or Repositioning
Once the furniture has been prepared, it can be moved to the appropriate room, floor, building or storage location when transportation is part of the project.
6. Reassembly & Placement
Furniture included for reassembly is put back together and positioned according to the agreed project requirements.
7. Final Review
After the work is complete, the project area and agreed scope should be reviewed for remaining items that require attention.
Disassembly as Part of an Office Relocation
Furniture disassembly and office relocation often need to be planned together.
Taking workstations apart too late can delay the moving process. Reassembling them without knowing the destination layout can create unnecessary work after the furniture arrives.
When Manova Services is also handling the office move, the disassembly, transportation and reassembly stages can be considered together when establishing the project sequence.
Businesses should provide any available destination layout and identify which employees, departments or rooms will receive specific furniture whenever that information is relevant to the move.
Reconfiguring Furniture Without Moving Offices
A business does not always need a new location to need a new workplace layout.
Changes in staffing, department structure or how employees use the office may create a need to reorganize existing furniture.
Depending on the furniture system and components available, workstations or other modular furniture may be able to be disassembled and rearranged within the existing space.
The furniture and proposed layout should be reviewed before confirming that a specific reconfiguration is possible.
Coordinating With Building Access
Furniture disassembly and reassembly may need to be coordinated with the requirements of the commercial property.
Elevator availability, loading areas, permitted work hours, parking and access to occupied areas can all affect how the project is scheduled.
If the building has specific contractor or moving requirements, provide that information before the project date so it can be considered during planning.
Preparing for Furniture Disassembly
Before the scheduled project, businesses should identify:
- Which furniture needs to be moved
- Which furniture will remain in place
- Which items require disassembly
- Where each item will go
- Whether reassembly is required
- Whether a new furniture layout is available
- Whether storage is needed
- Whether unwanted furniture needs to be removed
- Any building access or scheduling restrictions Having those decisions made ahead of time gives the team a clearer scope and reduces unnecessary decisions during the project.
