Choose a system based on the new layout
Assign each workstation a room code and number. Apply corresponding removable labels to the desk components, chair and boxed accessories where appropriate. Keep a reference list with the office coordinator. Do not put passwords, personal data or detailed confidential contents on visible labels.
Plan workstation labelling guide around your Smethwick access
For a Smethwick move, show where the vehicle can stop and how furniture reaches the doorway. If someone suggests Stony Lane, St Paul's Road or Gilbert Road parking, check that specific entrance for the planned van. Measure the carrying distance from a suitable position, describe shared hallways or stairs, and agree a different loading point if the barrier rules out close access.
Assign a contact at each workplace, agree the goods or staff entrance and label assets by destination. Confirm loading, lift and building access separately from normal public opening hours.
- Identify the exact Smethwick entrance, including east or west where relevant, and check the posted height restriction.
- For workstation labelling guide, prepare: destination room code; unique workstation id; matching component labels.
Separate furniture placement from IT setup
Label prepared electronics under your own IT procedures and keep technical reconnection responsibilities clear. Similar-looking cables and fittings should remain identifiable rather than mixed in a communal box. Use a floor plan or written room schedule to direct unloading, and make sure the receiving contact understands it.
Check before collection
- Each desk, pedestal and chair has the correct destination code.
- Loose fittings are identified for the furniture they belong to.
- The receiving layout matches the latest agreed office plan.
Your Smethwick enquiry checklist
- For workstation labelling guide, have these details ready: destination room code; unique workstation id; matching component labels.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B66 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.
