Relocating your office can be stressful. There are many steps in the process of moving from one office to another, and it can be a time-consuming process. A skilled mover can take the stress out of office relocation, and allow you to enjoy time in your new office quickly. By following a few simple tips for relocating your office, you can make the transition smooth and enjoyable.
Plan and Inventory
It is important to plan how you want to tackle your moving project. Will you move the entire office at once or in sections? Take accurate measurements of the new space to make sure the configurations of your old office will apply. Will you need more room? Is there extra space in the new office? Take an inventory of everything you have. Count equipment such as computers, telephones and copiers. Measure your furniture and get an accurate number. This will not only help with the process but it will allow you to get a more accurate quote from your moving company.
Choose a Mover
It is important to choose a mover early on in the process. A skilled moving company will give step-by-step instructions on the entire process, from packing to unpacking. Obtain a quote well before you are ready to move, and keep your mover updated with any new developments.
Contact Vendors
In some cases, you can relocate your office without disconnecting services or shutting off utilities. It is a good idea, however, to let your vendors know of your move well in advance.If you are leasing equipment like copiers, the vendor may move the machine to your new location for you. Notify any phone or Internet providers of your new move to make the transition run smoothly.
Alert Your Staff
If you have a staff or are working with a team, keep them apprised of the details of the move. Allow them to make suggestions about relocating equipment or furnishings. Make a plan for what staff will be directly involved in the relocation.
