Office Relocation & Decommissioning: 7 Steps to Minimize Risk, Cost, and Downtime
Darren Ross October 8, 2025 0Relocating or decommissioning an office is far more than packing boxes and calling movers. It requires strategy, coordination, and precision to protect your investment and avoid costly mistakes. That’s where Facilities Resource, Inc. (FRI) comes in. With over 28 years of experience in corporate relocation, project management, and decommissioning services, FRI helps companies move efficiently, meet lease requirements, and stay focused on business—not logistics.
The first step in any successful project is understanding your lease and landlord obligations. Restoration clauses often require specific repairs such as repainting, carpet replacement, or signage removal. FRI reviews these details upfront and works directly with property managers to ensure compliance, saving clients time and unexpected costs.
Next, we conduct a complete inventory and asset assessment. Our experts identify what to move, repurpose, donate, or recycle, and create a clear plan for each item. As a full-service office furniture dealer, Facilities Resource can also design and install your new workspace—streamlining the process and keeping everything under one trusted team.
The third step is developing a relocation and project management plan. Every move involves multiple vendors, departments, and deadlines. FRI coordinates it all—scheduling tasks, managing communications, and ensuring each phase happens in order. With one point of contact, clients avoid confusion and costly downtime.
Technology transitions are often the biggest challenge, which is why step four focuses on IT disconnects and reconnections. We work closely with your IT team to handle servers, cabling, and equipment securely. FRI ensures every system is managed safely and set up correctly at the new location to maintain business continuity.
Once planning is complete, we move to step five—executing the relocation and decommissioning. Our team oversees packing, removal, and transport, ensuring the space is left “broom clean.” FRI manages furniture disassembly, debris removal, and recycling to meet lease requirements and sustainability goals.
The sixth step is space restoration and the final walk-through. Facilities Resource restores spaces to their original condition. We document every detail, handle the final landlord inspection, and ensure you recover your full deposit.
Finally, we complete a post-move review and asset optimization plan. FRI helps clients evaluate leftover inventory and provides solutions for storage, resale, or donation. Our asset management programs help companies save money and reduce waste long after the move is complete.
For nearly three decades, Facilities Resource has been the trusted partner for corporations, municipalities, and public agencies across Texas. Our team delivers turnkey relocation, decommissioning, and project management services with expertise, efficiency, and care.
If your organization is planning an office relocation, downsizing, or decommissioning project, trust the experts who manage every detail from start to finish.
