Who this service is for
Private and international schools, kindergartens, nurseries, training centers and institutes in Eastern Province cities, for example when:
- Moving from a rented building to a new one.
- Opening a new branch and moving part of the furniture there.
- Redistributing classrooms between boys' and girls' buildings or between stages.
- Moving surplus furniture to a store room or another branch.
For administrative offices only, see office movers in Dammam.
The real challenge: quantity and labeling
A school move is not one valuable item but hundreds of similar ones. If classroom desks get mixed up or archive boxes go missing, the term starts in chaos. So we work with a simple system:
- Give each classroom and office a name or number in both the old and new building.
- Label every item and box with its classroom or office number in the new building.
- Load classrooms in order and unload them straight into their new rooms.
We suggest management assigns one person who knows the new building layout to be on site on moving day. It saves a lot of time.
How we handle the contents
Student desks and chairs
Chairs are stacked safely and strapped in groups, desk tops are protected from scratches, and desks that come apart are dismantled to save space.
Cabinets, shelving and books
Cabinets are emptied before the move and books go into small sturdy boxes by library or classroom. For large libraries see book and library movers.
Archives and student records
Packed into sealed, numbered boxes. We prefer a staff member to supervise confidential records throughout the move.
Nursery furniture and toys
Small chairs and tables, cots and plastic or wooden toys are wrapped and grouped by room. We do not remove play equipment that is fixed into the ground.
Devices
Computers, screens and printers are wrapped separately. Network disconnection and device setup are done by the school's technician.
The best time to move
Summer break and the holidays between terms are best, followed by weekends. If you must move during term, we plan it in stages after the school day. Book early, as the weeks before a new school year are busy. If the new building has not been handed over yet, we can arrange temporary storage.
What we do not do
We move, dismantle and reassemble furniture. We do not remove wall-mounted boards or screens, we do not do electrical, plumbing or AC work, we do not move laboratory chemicals, and we do not use external hoists.
