Office Moving Questions
Office Moving FAQ
Hiring an Office Moving Company can raise many questions for businesses who are unfamiliar with the office moving process. This article will hopefully answer some of those burning questions:
Will I have to pack myself?
Most Office Moving Companies will pack for you as part of their service. They should be fully insured to do so and it means the process will be far less stressful and easier for you.
How long will the actual office moving process take?
It very much depends on how much furniture and files you have, but the Office Moving Company you hire will discuss an Office Moving Schedule with you quite early on in the process, so you know what to expect and can plan your business projects around the move. Usually, it's best to move over a weekend so you can pack up on Friday and be up and running on the Monday morning. This is the most efficient way to avoid any business interruption.
We need to dispose of some office furniture. Will the Office Moving Company take care of that?
Yes, most office moving companies have a furniture disposal service that will dispose of your office furniture in a responsible, environmentally friendly way - often donating or recycling works best, depending on condition.
We need extra protection around some items of office furniture.
No problem. Discuss with your moving company the items that need extra protection, and they will ensure it is adequately protected and handled carefully during transit.
Does the Moving Company reassemble furniture at the new facility?
Yes, everything will be put back to working order, in the correct place in your new office so you can resume business quickly.
Always use this Office Moving Checklist to ensure you haven't missed anything important in the run up to your office move.
