This case study demonstrates Think Office's expertise in managing large-scale office liquidation and decommissioning projects, meeting tight timelines, and exceeding client expectations.
John Hancock, a prominent company in the insurance sector, was preparing to downsize its main headquarters. The project involved a daunting volume of 200 truckloads of office furniture to be liquidated and a significant number of appliances to be safely disconnected. With a budgeted timeline of two months to complete the project, John Hancock partnered with Think Office to manage the process efficiently.
We kicked off the project with an onsite assessment, creating a detailed inventory of all the furniture items, along with a list of appliances to be disconnected. Considering the size of the operation and the tight timeline, we deployed a larger team of professionals to manage the process.
We priced and marketed the extensive amount of office furniture to our expansive network of resellers, wholesalers, and individual buyers, maximizing John Hancock's return on their office assets.
Our qualified team handled the electrical disconnect process. This included safe shutdown and disconnection of a wide range of office appliances and ensuring compliance with all safety regulations.
Throughout the project, our team worked efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to John Hancock's remaining operations.
Despite the massive scale of the project, we completed all tasks within 1.5 months - two weeks ahead of the budgeted timeline. This allowed John Hancock to proceed with their next steps sooner than expected.
We secured buyers for the vast majority of the office furniture, resulting in optimal returns for John Hancock and a significant reduction in disposal costs.
Our team safely disconnected all appliances and followed proper disposal procedures for any waste, ensuring the site was left clean and hazard-free.
John Hancock expressed their high satisfaction with our efficient services, professionalism, and the smooth completion of the project ahead of schedule.
