Office Moving Guide
The Complete Office Moving Guide
Moving to new offices can be a stressful experience - even more so than moving house. If you are moving office over a weekend, you will need to have all your business communications equipment tested and working ready to serve clients on Monday morning. But with a little forward planning, you will be able to get your business back up and running quickly on the first working day in your new office.
Plan the Move in Advance
Make sure you go through all the necessary preparations to plan the move sufficiently. Use the Office Move Checklist to identify what needs to be done, and at what stage.
Organize Professional Office Movers
Hire in a professional Office Moving Company to take care of transporting your belongings to the new facility efficiently, and get everything located in the right place.
Create a New Floor Plan
Liaise with an Office Space Planner to configure the best floor plan for your working practices and business communications. This is vital if you want your staff to operate as efficiently and productively as possible - and also give the right impression to visitors.
Inform & Involve your Staff
Inform your staff about your office relocation plans early on in the process and keep them updated with developments. Involve them with the move as far as possible to ensure they feel fully supported and morale is not affected.
Moving Technology Equipment
Probably the most complex aspect of any office move, so make sure you are fully prepared as far as transferring, testing and networking all your vital business communications equipment. Use the IT Relocation Checklist to help with the planning.
De-Clutter
Throw away and recycle anything you won't be needing in the new office. There is no use in transporting items you don't want to keep and it will help keep your new office looking clear of clutter, tidy and presentable.
