Moving to a new office is never an easy task, and no one wants to spend their time in the transition moving boxes around, giving tours of their new workspace, and trying to organize everything in a short amount of time. It takes meticulous planning, prioritizing your to-do list and understanding the many aspects that come into play with office moves. Here are a few tips from our movers to help you with your office move.
1. Communication
There should be lots of communication with the people in your office, not only with your co-workers but also with other people affected by the move, like clients and vendors. With all the moving going on, it is easy to forget about keeping them updated, which will only cause stress for everyone involved.
2. Know what you’re moving and where it will be placed at destination.
This is the step that many people skip. People often move before they find out what office they are moving to or don't know how much space they have in their new office. If you already know the space you will be working in, look at the floor plan to see how much of your stuff will fit and how you want it arranged. Once you know how much you have to take with you, get a detailed quote from a professional and licensed mover.
3. Hire professional movers.
You should hire professional movers instead of attempting the daunting task yourself. When people try to do the move themselves, it becomes more costly and more stressful than needed. A good moving company will do a much more thorough job and know how to pack your things so that you don't break anything fragile. Also, always hire moving companies that are fully insured in case of any accidents or injuries.
4. Make sure you have enough boxes and supplies.
You will also need to ensure you have enough boxes and packing supplies. If you have never moved your office before, estimating the quantity of supplies is not easy and packing up all your things can be very time consuming, so keep that in mind when making your purchase and your plans. Packing everything yourself might not be the best option; so ask your mover to quote packing service as it may save you time and money in the long run.
5. Organize your items properly.
Organizing is an important part of an office move but can also be one of the most difficult parts of the process. Make sure you spend plenty of time organizing your items in a way that makes sense to make unpacking easier.
