Office Furniture Movers in Al Bawadi, Jeddah

The requests we expect are small and mid-sized service offices such as accounting, legal and consulting practices, small clinics, branches of companies relocating their base, and home offices becoming a separate premises. What they share is a need for someone who can handle furniture, equipment and paper in an orderly way. Learn more about Al Ostoura Moving and how a move works step by step.

If your business is different, send a short description of what has to move and we will tell you whether it suits us.

Before loading anything we ask for a list: number of desks and chairs, filing cabinets, meeting table, shelving, equipment and any unusual item such as a safe or glass cabinet. Where possible we photograph rooms and mark departments so we can label them.

This inventory is the base for estimating crew and vehicles, for tracking items on arrival and for planning where each piece goes in the new premises.

We recommend giving each workstation a number or an employee name and writing the department on each piece. On arrival our crew directs items to the right place without you explaining each one, and staff find their desks and equipment as they were.

If you have a floor plan of the new premises, send it to us; it saves a lot of time during unloading and placement.

Computers, printers and monitors need an orderly disconnect. We advise photographing the connections of each device before unplugging, bagging cables with labels, and carrying sensitive equipment upright with suitable wrapping. Your IT person can disconnect and reconnect while we handle the furniture.

We do not recommend putting hard drives and sensitive data in the general load; it is better kept with the person responsible.

In legal, accounting and medical offices the paper matters more than the furniture. We use sealed, numbered boxes, keep file order intact, and carry sensitive boxes in a closed vehicle with supervision from your archive manager if you wish. We do not open files or read their content.

It helps if the archive manager provides a list of boxes and checks it at handover.

Metal filing cabinets are heavy and can slide on stairs. We carry loaded cabinets after emptying part of the contents, with more than one person and suitable aids. Heavy safes need their own plan for weight, route and lifting, and we assess whether extra equipment is needed before the date.

Tell us about a safe in the first message so it is not a surprise on moving day.

Large pieces such as executive desks and wooden or glass meeting tables need dismantling or special carrying. We measure the building entrance, lift and doors, decide whether they travel whole or in parts, and protect glossy surfaces and glass with layers of protection.

If the table is glass or stone, we give it a fixed place in the vehicle and extra edge protection.

Swivel chairs, reception chairs and waiting-room furniture are many in number and small in size, and they affect the number of trips. We bundle them in an orderly way, protect them from scratches, and arrange them in the vehicle so they do not press on other pieces.

For leather or light fabric we suggest extra wrapping to keep them clean in the vehicle.

Most modern staff desks can be dismantled and reassembled. We take them apart in order, keep small parts in numbered bags and reassemble them in the new premises according to your plan. When there are many workstations, starting dismantling the day before shortens the move day.

We state in the quote whether dismantling and reassembly are included and whether an extra carpenter is needed for particular items.

The best time for an office move is often the end of the week or after working hours, so staff can start in the new premises on the first working day. We agree a schedule separating loading, unloading and assembly, with time for devices and network to be switched on.

If you must hand the old premises back at a set time, tell us so it fits the timeline.

For larger offices, departments can move in phases: archive and unused items first, then non-critical teams, and finally the departments that must keep working until the last moment. This reduces crowding on one day and the risk of mistakes.

We agree a simple schedule that shows which department moves when.

Commercial buildings may set hours for lift use and loading bays, and may ask for undertakings, insurance or coordination with management. Ask management for these rules and share them with us so we can plan loading and unloading.

If the new building does not let our vehicle stop near the entrance, we assess carrying by hand and add crew if needed.

We protect floors, walls and lifts during carrying and avoid marking surfaces. At handover we review the condition of the place with you so no damage is attributed to us without evidence, which can also help you with the building owner.

It is useful to photograph the old premises when you vacate them as your own record.

You may have signage, framed panels, display screens or business-specific equipment. These need tailored wrapping and a planned place in the vehicle, sometimes technicians to install them. Mention them in the first request so we can estimate time and equipment.

We need exact dimensions of large pieces to know whether they will fit the lift and doors.

If some furniture will not be used immediately in the new premises, or the new space is smaller, temporary storage can be arranged for part of the items. We agree what is stored and how it is listed, and give you a list of what went into storage.

Ask about storage early because availability depends on dates.

Cost depends on the number of workstations and items, the distance between the two premises, floors and lifts at both ends, packing, dismantling and reassembly, the nature of devices and files, and timing. We do not quote a number before seeing the item list.

After the inventory we send a clear written quote that states what is included and what is not.

Ask about experience with offices in particular, how they handle devices and files, whether they number items, whether work can be done outside office hours, and who is responsible if damage occurs. A quote that covers these points is clearer than one that only gives a figure.

Feel free to ask us about any of them before booking.

Ask each employee to empty their desk of personal items and fragile things, close their drawers, and label their boxes with their name. Appoint a lead for each department to answer the crew during loading and unloading.

We suggest naming one coordinator to speak with us throughout the day so instructions are not duplicated.

The crew arrives and reviews the inventory with your coordinator, protects the route, then wraps and loads according to the plan. At the new premises it unloads to the layout, assembles desks and cabinets, places chairs, leaves devices to your IT team, and goes through the inventory again.

We finish with a handover walk-through with the coordinator to confirm each department is in place.

Once items arrive, devices and networks need time to be switched on and tested. We suggest reserving extra time after the move to confirm every device works and that network and phones are connected, and keeping a note of what is missing.

If you notice damage to a piece, tell us the same day so we can record it with you.

Frequent ones include skipping the inventory, not numbering items, leaving devices to the last minute, not asking building management about lift rules, and scheduling the move on a working day. All of these lead to longer downtime than necessary.

Early planning and a simple checklist solve most of these problems.

An office on a ground floor with direct access moves faster; in office towers the lift and its booking rules are the main control on time. If the building has a service lift with set hours we book the window and plan loading so the crew is not left waiting.

Without a service lift we use the standard lift with protective covers and carry in smaller batches, which lengthens the work and affects cost; so we ask about the building type from the start.

We care about a clear plan before execution: inventory, numbering, a timeline, building protection, careful handling of devices and files, and direct contact with your coordinator. We do not promise unrealistic speed, but we keep to what we agree.

Send us a description of your office now and we will reply with what we need to prepare a written quote.
