An inventory your team can work from
List desks, chairs, cabinets, boxed files and equipment by department or room. Identify furniture staying behind and label items by their destination. Dimensions help for large meeting tables, shelving and cabinets.
Flag IT equipment, machinery, confidential records and unusually heavy items. Technical disconnection, reconnection, installation or specialist handling must be arranged explicitly; it is not assumed within a standard moving quote.
Plan office & business moves around your Birmingham access
For Birmingham moves, provide both complete addresses and explain whether either property has a booked loading bay, concierge or service lift. Separate building access from the vehicle route: check clean-air-zone requirements for the proposed vehicle and route before confirming the plan. Record lift dimensions, floor level and the time allowed for loading.
Describe the full inventory and which parts of the carrying, packing or dismantling you need included. A shorter journey can still involve substantial handling at each property.
- Confirm Birmingham building access and the proposed vehicle's clean-air-zone status as separate checks.
- For office & business moves, prepare: workstation inventory; building access hours; priorities and move phases.
Build access around the operation
For Birmingham premises, confirm the loading position, security access and route through the building with the property manager. Include lift dimensions, contractor check-in and any limits on vehicle height or delivery hours.
Appoint a contact at both addresses who can open up, identify the correct items and direct unloading. Share building rules before the quote is agreed.
Request phases, evenings or weekends
If the business needs to keep operating, describe which rooms or teams should move first and the deadlines for each phase. Evening or weekend moves are requests to check, with crew and building availability confirmed before booking.
Agree the inventory, preparation responsibilities, price, timing and applicable cover. Keep specialist equipment work separate unless it is explicitly included. Update the plan if headcount, furniture or access changes.
Your Birmingham enquiry checklist
- For office & business moves, have these details ready: workstation inventory; building access hours; priorities and move phases.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B2 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
