Record measurements and take pictures of your portable building or buildings. The portable-building movers you contact will need to know measurements such as width, length and height, according to Ziegler Portable Buildings. The moving company will also need to know information such as if the building is up to code, what the inside contains (such as drywall or paneling) and what type of material the building is made of. In addition, pictures may help the movers get a better idea of what they will be moving.
Empty the portable building and disconnect any electrical or water service to the building. Your portable building should not be moved with supplies or furniture inside it, so everything has to be removed that is not attached to the building. In addition, if there are any other wires or nonpermanent attachments to the outside of the building, these need to be disconnected prior to the move.
