Create an Office Move Budget
Creating a budget for your office move can feel like a daunting task, but there's no need to feel intimated by it. By using the free budget planning tools and by following this straight forward process, you'll soon feel on top of what costs to expect and how to manage them better.
Step 1: Download the Office Move Budget Template
The first step to create an Office Move Budget is to use the FREE Office Move Budget Template available here. It contains an easy to use breakdown of all the costs associated with an office move and enables you to record and manage your spending effectively.
Step 2: Identify Costs
Find out any additional cost items that need to be recorded in the budget. Your company may be investing in new IT equipment or require new office furniture. A clear understanding of what costs to budget for will help you priortize and organize your spending.
Step 3: Establish Moving Company Expenses
To give you an idea of moving company costs and get a competitive price, aim to get at least 3 office moving estimates. Be clear about what is included within each estimate. Packing, insurance, transportation and after care services should all be included within the costs. Storage services are usually charged extra.
Step 4: Office Space Costs
Once you have toured several office properties, you will begin to get an idea of office costs and what additional charges you are likely to be liable for. Costs such as ongoing maintenance, insurance and office build out costs all need to be factored into your budget.
Step 5: Budget Management
Throughout the office move project, you will need to keep the budget template up to date as estimates become actual costs and as your requirements change. Doing so will enable you to keep a tight control of costs and work within the perimeters of your budget.
