Start the request Scoped after a walkthrough · moving, removal, and closeout in one plan
One request pathWritten scope
An office exit is not finished when the desks reach the truck. The old space still needs furniture cleared, reusable assets routed, disposal documented, access coordinated, and the premises returned in the condition your lease requires. We build one decommissioning scope around that deadline so your team is not managing five vendors on the final week of the lease.
One exit scope
Inventory what moves, what stays, what is donated, and what is disposed of. Add packing, storage, furniture breakdown, cabling coordination, and final cleaning before pricing—not as last-minute change orders.
Landlord-ready closeout
Coordinate COIs, freight-elevator windows, building access, broom-clean expectations, and final walkthrough timing with property management.
A documented finish
Receive before-and-after photographs, disposition notes, donation receipts when available, and a clear completion record your operations and finance teams can retain.
The closeout standard
A project record your facilities and finance teams can retain.
Disposition schedule
What moves, sells, donates, recycles, stores, or requires compliant disposal.
Execution sequence
IT and data-bearing equipment first, then furniture, fixtures, cleaning, and repairs.
Handoff evidence
Before-and-after photos, receipts when available, exceptions, and final walkthrough notes.

Common questions
What is included in office decommissioning?
The scope can include moving retained assets, furniture liquidation or removal, donation, disposal, storage, workstation breakdown, vendor coordination, final cleaning, photographs, and landlord handoff. The written scope should define exactly what is included.
Can this happen after hours?
Yes. Many NYC commercial buildings only permit removal work during evening or weekend windows. Share both the lease deadline and permitted building hours so the crew and vendors can be sequenced correctly.
Do you buy used office furniture?
Resale value depends on brand, condition, quantity, and timing. The project can separate viable resale or donation inventory from material that requires legal disposal, but resale proceeds should never be assumed until a buyer confirms the inventory.
How early should we start?
Four to eight weeks is comfortable for a normal small-office exit. Larger inventories, strict restoration clauses, or multiple vendors need more lead time. A short deadline can still be assessed after a walkthrough.
