At a glance
How it works
Before the crew arrives, we run the sale.
Tell us what's going out
Text or call us at (844) B4U-DEMO. Describe your space, what you're replacing or clearing out, and your timeline - lease end, relocation date, or renovation start. No job is too small to evaluate.
We plan around your schedule
A Before U Demo advisor assesses your items, recommends a sale format, and coordinates around building access, elevator reservations, and your move-out or renovation timeline. We promote to our buyer network and handle everything.
Buyers remove it. You get paid.
Buyers purchase and remove what they want - desks, chairs, cubicles, equipment, and everything in between. You receive proceeds after the sale, and your space is cleared on schedule without a dumpster bill.
Real results
What sellers actually recovered
Office relocation · Loop, Chicago
"We were moving to a smaller space and had to clear out 60 workstations in three weeks. Before U Demo found buyers for everything - the cubicle systems, the conference tables, even the lobby furniture. Saved us a massive disposal cost." - Operations Director, Chicago
Small office refresh · Schaumburg, IL
"We only had about 20 pieces - old desks, chairs, a filing system, and some decor. I assumed it wasn't worth the trouble. Before U Demo made it completely worth it." - Business owner, Schaumburg
Full floor buildout · River North, Chicago
"Lease ended, full floor to clear. Cubicle systems, AV equipment, executive furniture, the whole thing. Before U Demo ran two sale days and cleared the floor clean before our lease expired." - Facilities Manager, River North

FAQ
Before you demo, here's what to know
Do you work with small office renovations, or only large commercial jobs?
We work with offices of all sizes - from a single-room refresh with a handful of pieces to full-floor commercial buildouts with hundreds of workstations. There is no minimum job size. If you have items with resale value and a timeline that works, we'll find buyers for them.
What typically sells from an office buildout or renovation?
More than most people expect. The strongest performers are cubicle and workstation systems (especially name brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth), conference tables, executive and task seating, reception furniture, and filing systems. Beyond furniture, we regularly move commercial lighting fixtures, AV and presentation equipment, break room appliances, shelving systems, decorative planters, and office art.
How does the sale work in a commercial building with access restrictions?
We handle building coordination as part of the planning process. Before scheduling any buyer activity, we confirm your building's rules around freight elevator access, loading dock scheduling, move-out hours, and any tenant coordination requirements. Commercial sales in office buildings typically run as scheduled appointment events.
Can you work around a lease end date or hard relocation deadline?
Yes - and this is one of the most common situations we work with. Ideally 3-4 weeks of lead time gives us room to promote the sale and attract serious buyers before your deadline hits.
What if we have a mix of company-owned and leased equipment?
Only owned items can be included in the sale - leased equipment goes back to the lessor. Before we organize anything, you'll designate exactly what's available for sale.
