Office Move Money-Saving Tips
Let's face it, moving office can be an expensive experience. You will have to swallow the amount it costs for the benefit it will being; a better office environment, new start and (hopefully!) better facilities.
These Office Move Money-Saving Tips will help you move office without breaking the bank:
Plan Early
There's so many advantages to planning your office move early, like saving you money. Having time on your side will enable you to shop around to get the best price on office moving estimates. It also prevents you from entering into any hasty decisioins due to time pressure.
Create a Realistic Budget
Use the Moving Office Budget Planner to create a realistic budget from the outset. The template already identifies all the costs associated with moving office for you, so if it's not listed on here, you don't need to worry about it. Keep your budget up-to-date on a weekly basis as estimates come in, or as estimates become expenditure. This will help to prevent any over spending.
New Office Vendors
Moving office is an ideal time to undertake a thorough review of all your office vendors and contracts etc. And if you're moving to a different City or State, this may prove essential. Many companies are missing out on saving costs because they do not review their suppliers or vendors on a regular basis, so the purpose of this review is to assess whether you are on the best possible pricing tariff for your business needs.
New Office Furniture & Supplies
If you are ordering new office furniture, it is best done via your Office Design Company. They will most certainly have deals with office furniture vendors and negotiate the best price on your behalf.
Maximizing Space
Your business premises account for the one of the largest costs, yet many companies are missing on potential savings due to inefficient use of space. Space planning your new office effectively with a professional Architect and Office Space Planner will provide you with the best advice to maximize your office space efficiently.
Future Growth
Consider how much your business is going to grow in the next 5-10 years (or at least for the duration of the office lease) and ensure the office property you chose has ample room for growth.
