Office Relocation Project Plan
How to Create an Office Relocation Project Plan
The creation of a Project Plan is essential for any business planning an office relocation. It outlines your reasons for relocating, which in turn will help to determine your new requirements for office space, location, budget and timing.
An Office Relocation Project Plan will become the backbone of your project and should be created at the outset before any other decision is made. For the purposes of this blog, we have identified some of the key elements that should be included within your Project Plan, but as every office relocation is unique, you may wish to add or subtract some of the points to fit to your own requirements.

Establish new office space requirements. Identify net internal floor area. Create a relocation budget. Identify type of office lease required (length, inclusions, incentives). Desired location.
Establish Key Dates of Office Move

Use the Moving Office Timeline to record these dates and build a working schedule for your project.
