Office Relocation: A "How to" Guide
Office Relocation Guide
Relocating your office to a new location requires a great deal of planning and decision making. This Guide has been prepared to help your office relocation run efficiently so your business gets the best possible start in the new office.
Appoint a Project Leader
Your office relocation will need to be managed by a responsible and well-organized individual within your organization who is a great communicator, knows the business and the overall goals of the office relocation.
Select the Right Office
Your choice of office space is an important factor in determining the overall success of your office relocation. If it isn't the right space it can give the wrong impression to clients and hamper productivity & staff morale. Create an Office Space Checklist about what key features your new office space should have and prioritize them. You might not get everything you wish for but it should satisify almost all your office space requirements.
Set a Budget
An office relocation can be a costly project and it could even break the bank if you don't plan your budget correctly at the outset. Use the Moving Office Budget Planner to set out your moving office costs and manage it as the relocation project progresses.
Get Legal Representation
Call a local Real Estate Lawyer who is experienced in acting for tenants moving office and run through all the legal aspects of your relocation. In particular, they'll need to see a draft of the Office Lease and ensure it sets out the appropriate terms that will secure your tenure in your new office.
Pay Attention to the Design of your new Office Space
The design and delivery of your new office space can transform your business efficiency, enhance working processes and give the right first impression to all who visit it. Make sure you use an experienced Office Design Team who can advise you on the right creative and aesthetic qualities your new office needs.
