Record each large piece
Note height, width and depth for conference tables, cabinets and modular desks. Photograph joints, glass panels and attached components without attempting unsafe disassembly.
Follow the whole path
Measure door clear openings, tight turns and elevator dimensions. Identify stairs, ramps and the vehicle loading point. A large item may fit through one doorway and fail at the next turn.
Flag unusual weight or condition
Heavy stone, glass or metal pieces need a more careful assessment. Tell the provider about damage, sharp edges and whether an item is still anchored.
Send a short removal brief
Include item counts, dimensions, floor, elevator or stairs, parking/loading location and preferred date. That helps the provider assess the job before committing to a plan.
