How to Manage your Company's Office Relocation
Managing a Company Relocation
Whether it's your first time managing an office relocation, or you've been involved in a company office relocation before - there are two things you need to remember:
- To plan well in advance
- To use Office Relocation Experts to help with the important stages of the move
In order to manage your company's office relocation successfully, you need to start the planning at least 9- 18 months in advance. This will give you enough time to weigh up your options carefully about your choice of office space, negotiate suitable terms on the office lease, and make the right office design decisions to maximize the full potential of the space.
At least 6 months prior to your company's office relocation, you should use an Office Move Checklist that gives you practical steps and tasks that you'll need to complete in the run up to the move.
Whatever the size of your company, you will need to form an office relocation team consisting of individuals within your organization, as well help from external professionals which will include:
- A Tenant Rep Broker - to help you find the right office space and secure lease terms that suit your fiscal and operational requirements.
- A Real Estate Lawyer - to examine the ins and outs of the lease documentation and ensure your commercial interests are protected.
- An Office Design Company - to plan and create the right office environment that enhances productivity and gives the right impression to clients.
- An IT Relocation Company - advising on phone systems for the new office and the secure and timely transfer of your IT equipment.
- An Office Moving Company - to get your belongings from A to B in an orderly and timely manner so that business can resume quickly back to full operation following the move.
Getting expert help will make managing your company's office relocation so much easier and will ensure everything is executed on time, without disruption, and will provide you with support when making such important decisions for your business (i.e. choosing the right office property).
