Retail relocation
For furniture, displays, boxes and non-regulated inventory moving to a new address.
BUSINESSES
Commercial Moving
Business premises and inventory assessed according to access, materials and schedule.
A commercial move may involve a retail space, workshop, small warehouse or professional premises. Inventory, access hours, operational continuity and the order of setup should be documented before anything moves.
DTHV plans the confirmed handling scope. Specialized equipment, sensitive data, regulated goods and installations requiring a technician must be identified by the customer and assigned to the appropriate qualified resources.
FOR YOUR PROJECT
When this service may be useful
A few practical situations to identify when you submit your request.
Premises reorganization
When a business changes floors, combines spaces or reconfigures a work area.
Small warehouse
For clearly identified inventory with known dimensions, weights and handling conditions.
A business description is not an equipment list
Saying that you are moving a business does not identify the goods involved. Separate furniture, packed stock, displays and equipment; provide dimensions, known weight and preparation status. Equipment attached to the building should not be described as ordinary movable furniture.
Flag anything requiring a technician, special handling or particular transport conditions. Acceptance and the applicable scope still need confirmation. Industrial districts in a municipality do not establish that DTHV provides every kind of industrial relocation.
PREPARATION
Prepare the project before moving day
Accurate information supports a realistic scope adapted to the actual access.
- 1Appoint a decision-maker at departure and another at arrival.
- 2Create an inventory and destination labelling system.
- 3Have qualified people disconnect and secure equipment.
- 4Confirm docks, elevators, alarms, access and permitted hours with property managers.
PROCESS
A clear step-by-step approach
Defined scope
Spaces, item categories, access constraints and setup priorities are recorded.
Loading sequence
The plan accounts for items that need to be available or installed first.
Identification
Customer-prepared labels help track goods between departure and arrival zones.
Receiving
The customer representative confirms destinations and any special instructions.
Who prepares each part before the premises close?
Assign contacts for the inventory, access and receiving goods at the destination. Distinguish when the old premises can be vacated from when the new location can receive items. A phased move needs discussion rather than being assumed to be included.
Record tasks assigned to other providers separately, such as disconnection, reinstallation or technical checks. That distinction keeps the physical move separate from putting the business back into operation.
