Challenge

Four weeks to move 85 classrooms, labs, and athletic assets while storing and installing furniture and ensured that nothing was lost or stolen in the process. 

Solution

We provided storage containers, trailers, and a full-service moving team that ensured all furniture was stored and transported safely and securely. We unloaded and set everything up to ensure that everything was picture-perfect once teachers arrived.

Outcome

We were successfully able to complete the move on time, and on budget, with no damage or injuries. We reduced moving time by over 20% while also substantially reducing the risk of staff and teachers.

Challenge

The District wanted to keep the stress and impact on teachers as minimal as possible, so we were given four weeks to complete the move of 85 classrooms, science labs, computer equipment, and athletic and band assets, including furniture installation. The furniture arrived early and we were asked to accommodate storage for four months, needing 15 storage trailers. Our team of expert movers was able to seamlessly execute the entire move while taking the stress off teachers and staff and easily meet the relocation schedule.

Industry Trend

Texas schools are fast-growing in many areas of the state as populations rapidly increase. Requirements include available real estate, skilled faculty, and sufficient population to fund the tax base necessary to support construction.

Solution

With years of experience and expertise in the school moving industry, our team of expert movers will turn lengthy and complex moves into simple and seamless tasks. Our team provided 15 40’ storage containers to safely store the furniture. We then carefully unloaded the containers and assembled the furniture in their designated classrooms, ensuring that everything was ready and waiting for when the teachers showed up. By using our moving crates we reduce their exposure to risk and injuries, allowing them more time to continue to focus on what they do best.

It has truly been the District’s pleasure working with Rentacrate.  The responsibility of moving the district’s teaching and administrative staff into their new facilities could have been a daunting task but was made seamless using their moving materials and amazing staff.   Everything was provided including the various moving crates, carts, and labels as well as a packing video. Our Project Manager was also amazing and remained constant throughout several of our moves ensuring our needs and our moving schedules were met.  Those who moved all the materials, including the drivers, were always professional and worked to ensure our satisfaction. We could not be more pleased with Rentacrate and will be sure to use them in all our future moves!"
