Office decommissioning is the process of clearing out a workplace—removing all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E)—when a company relocates, closes, or upgrades its space. But a true decommission goes beyond logistics. It requires strategic planning, compliance with lease and environmental requirements, and responsible handling of all assets.
InterWork delivers comprehensive, eco-conscious office decommissioning services that minimize waste, support sustainability goals, and meet every operational need, start to finish.
Done right, a decommission is more than a closeout—it’s a strategic opportunity to make a positive impact. InterWork helps clients:
Whether you’re aiming to meet a landfill diversion target, improve your social impact score, or simply streamline the closeout process, sustainable decommissioning helps your business hit the mark—and look good doing it.
In many decommissions, one vendor handles planning and coordination (the sustainability consultant) and then hires another vendor to handle the execution (the labor team). That division often leads to miscommunication, delays, and added costs.
We manage everything in-house—from inventory and planning to coordination and physical execution. Every project is led by our dual-layered project management team, which includes an on-site InterWork project manager and a team of project managers at the office, ensuring real-time communication, streamlined processes, and tighter oversight. Our skilled labor teams are fully aligned with our processes and committed to exceeding client expectations. On-site project managers provide hands-on supervision to ensure every detail is executed to standard.
InterWork helps clients reduce waste and maximize the value of their office assets through a full-service, ESG-focused decommissioning process. While many providers focus only on removal, we offer strategic reuse, resale, donation, and recycling solutions—plus the reporting to back it all up.
We partner with clients to identify opportunities for reuse across their real estate footprint. Instead of discarding valuable FF&E, we help relocate assets to other locations or store them in our climate-controlled facilities for future use as part of our Asset Management services.
We market your inventory through our established network of resellers across multiple regions, as well as to existing or prospective clients. Proceeds from resale are shared with you, helping offset project costs.
When assets show strong resale potential but can’t be sold before the project deadline, we transport them to an InterWork facility for future remarketing.
Items that cannot be reused, resold, or donated are sorted and recycled at a LEED-compliant facility. Materials such as wood, metal, and plastic are diverted from the landfill wherever possible.
We coordinate directly with our network of qualified nonprofit partners to place usable furniture where it’s needed most. Unlike others who simply drop donations at the curb, InterWork delivers, installs, and ensures items are set up and ready to use. We can also remove and dispose of old furniture from the recipient site when needed and ensure that furniture is recycled appropriately. All at no charge.
At the close of every project, clients receive a detailed ESG report that includes:
We help you decommission sustainably, no matter the size of your project or company.
