Office Relocation Planning Tips

Filed under: by: JCTWeb

Relocating your office can be both exciting and dreadful. This is because you have to deal with moving all of your things to another location. Depending on whether you're moving to an entirely different building or simply moving down the hall, you have the ability to make the process less daunting. How is that possible? It's possible because you can organize yourself by making a checklist of the tasks that need to be done. In this case, it should be safe to assume that you're moving to an entirely new building and that you have known it for a while. Employees usually know of such moves well ahead of time because the company is having the new building readied so that it can handle all of the hustle and bustle that will be taking place inside of it.

Here some of the Important Tips helpful during office relocation:

No. 1

Figure out how many employees you'll need for the new location. This will help determine what furniture you really need to take with you. If you'll be cutting down or increasing your workforce, your furniture needs will need to be taken into consideration.

No. 2

Review the professional movers you hire thoroughly to make sure they are a reputable and credible service which will be able to get you want you need. Ask friends or associates for reviews and feedback. This can make or break your move.

No. 3

Go to the local municipal office of your new location to make sure you follow any codes or laws they have installed concerning moving. Should you need a permit, find out the price of it.

No. 4

Use boxes that are 2.0 cubic feet in volume because this is most amount of weight an average person can carry without causing injury.

No. 5

Contact the manufacturer of your Photocopy Company or Printer Company to figure out how you'll move these machines. Remember to remove any allied components such as toners and chemicals when you move the actual machine.

No. 6

Check with the mover if he has a plan on how to protect the floor or carpet of both your current site and your new destination.

No. 7

Ask the professional movers if it's possible to move filing cabinets or drawer without messing up the internal contents.

No. 8

Figure out how many office keys are necessary when you order the ones for the new location.

No. 9

Delicate machinery such as computers, scanners, and printers can be wrapped in bubble packaging for extra protection.

No. 10

Mark all packages so that you know what box contains what (i.e. stationary). Put labels everywhere. And don't forget to write "FRAGILE" or "This Side Up" on whatever boxes need it.

Before you make the move, make sure that you have followed the handy tips above and have chosen a reliable office removals company who can help to make the move as stress free as possible so that you can concentrate on making your business a success.
