Frequently Asked Questions
What services does InterWork offer?
Across the US and Canada, InterWork provides the complete suite of services you need for a successful office opening, closing, or redesign, from sustainably decommissioning existing office furniture to low-voltage installation/deinstallation, employee pack-ups, and landlord walk-throughs to ensure the free and clear return of your office space. We also provide new, pre-owned, and reconditioned furniture and experienced project management that fits all the pieces together and ensures your projects are on-time and on-budget.
With InterWork, the days of contacting, vetting, and coordinating a small army of contractors for your office move are a thing of the past.
When is the best time to relocate?
The answer is simple: it’s the time that works best for you, not for us. Some clients provide several months’ notice for their next project; others contact us with just a few days to spare. Either way, we’re here to help. Our project managers – among the most experienced in the business – will craft a plan that reduces downtime for your business, including work outside of regular office hours, special coordination for the executive suite, and phased plans that allow your office to stay open during the relocation process.
How much do relocations cost?
Many factors affect the cost, such as relocation distance and the number of workstations – but the most important one is preparation. Partnering with the project management professionals at InterWork minimizes the possibility of budget overruns, delays, and other mishaps that sink right to the bottom line.
How long does the relocation process take?
The schedule for each relocation varies, but at InterWork, we work hard to protect your time and money with industry-leading project planning, digital asset management, and some of the most experienced project managers in the business.
Can InterWork furnish my office?
Of course! InterWork has relationships with all major manufacturers, allowing us to provide a full complement of office furnishings for every need and budget. We can also sustainably source pre-owned furniture for you, providing like-new quality at a fraction of the cost.
Do you offer design services?
Of course! Our in-house designers will work with you to maximize the use of your space and plan an office that matches your working style and culture, including hoteling/benching and antimicrobial options. We can also work with your preferred designer – the choice is yours.
How quickly can you provide me with an estimate?
We can quote most projects within 72 business hours of receiving all necessary information (number of workstations, square footage, and the like). If your project is time-sensitive, please contact us at [toll-free number] for the fastest assistance.
How do you differ from hiring my local moving company?
We’ll be honest: InterWork will cost a bit more upfront than your local moving outfit, but when you look at the bigger picture, we provide a superior value overall. For one thing, our quotes are guaranteed not to increase so long as the project scope stays the same, and there are no additional charges for tape, hand trucks, crates, or moving blankets, unlike most local moving services. We’re also commercial moving specialists who know how to minimize disruption and maximize the safety and integrity of your assets. To that end, all of our personnel are screened and bonded, and we provide onsite project management to ensure your move happens on-time, every time.
I need to decommission an office in Texas, but I’m in New York. Can you help?
Yes! InterWork serves the entire US (including Puerto Rico and Hawaii) and most markets in Canada. Our project managers are available via phone, email, and text, and can send updates and reports in real-time, allowing you to oversee the process from wherever you are. If you’re moving out, we can also handle the landlord walk-through for you, saving you from possible penalties and holdover fees.
How do your integrated move management services save me time and money?
Whether you’re changing offices or redesigning an existing office, you’ll need multiple services to make it happen, from a furniture dealer to commercial movers to low-voltage installers, among other contractors. Selecting, negotiating with, and managing these providers is a hassle, and can lead to time and cost overruns you and your firm can ill afford. That’s where InterWork comes in: one call to us replaces all of these vendors, and our experienced project managers coordinate the work among each discipline so you don’t have to, allowing you to do more with less.
What if we’re going virtual, and there’s no one physical location we’re moving to?
Don’t worry, InterWork can help with this, too! Our moving experts can securely pack employee belongings in individual boxes for pick-up or ship them via FedEx or UPS to individual homes. We can also decommission (sustainably dispose of) any remaining office furniture and equipment or deliver these items to a warehouse or storage unit. Finally, we’ll make sure you can surrender your office space without penalty by attending a walk-through with the landlord on your behalf, and addressing any items that may arise (such as filling nail holes or removing tenant improvements).
