Furniture Removal

Minor Furniture Moves

Campus Services will be providing a limited furniture movement/relocation service based on the following guidelines.  

1)      Furniture removal will only be undertaken on Thursdays between the hours of 9am and 12 noon. 

2)      Furniture removal will be no more than one standard office (desk- filing cabinet, bookcase and attached office equipment and material etc). Beyond this the contractor is to be used.

3)      All lose material needs to be pre-boxed and taped securely, all filing and bookcases are to be emptied and packed in boxes.

4)      Any unwanted furniture will need to be inspected by the Supervisor (Grounds) to ascertain whether the furniture can be utilised/ recycled in other areas of the University. If it is deemed unusable then it is up to the faculty/unit to make arrangements for disposal.

5)      FM is no longer able to offer central long term storage facilities for furniture. If the furniture is required for storage it will be at the Faculty/Unit cost.

6)      All furniture removal requests are to be made via the BEIMS work order system with a full description of what is to be removed, current location and target location. Requests should be referred to the Grounds Supervisor.

7)      Requests will be prioritised on a ‘first come first served basis’. Requests unable to be accommodated in the current week will be deferred to the following week.

Contact Mark Flint, Supervisor (Grounds) on Ext 2163.

Project Related Furniture Moves

In the case of projects, the Faculty/Section representative should forward all requirements to the nominated Campus Services Project Officer. The Project Officer will then arrange for the necessary relocations to take place, with all costs being met by the project.
