Managing an office relocation can be a complex (and exciting) project for any company moving office. The success of any office relocation is normally reflected in the amount of planning and preparation time spent on the office relocation project.

Start your Office Relocation Planning early:
There's a lot to do and the earlier you start the office relocation planning process, the better. Best practice shows that 9-18 months prior to your lease expiration is a reasonable lead-in time, depending on the size of your business.

Prepare an Office Relocation Budget:
Office relocation costs need to be managed and kept under control. But this can be difficult if you are unaware of the cost items involved when relocating offices. The only way to identify, manage and control your office move costs is to prepare an office relocation budget. Doing so will allow you to stay on top of your costs before during and after your office relocation.
Office Relocation Tip: Downloads the Office Relocation Budget template to help you identify and manage your office relocation costs.
Get the right Office Relocation Project Team together:
Putting together the right office relocation project team is a crucial aspect for a successful office move. Your office relocation project is likely to be managed by an in-house member of staff. This individual needs to have enough time to devote to the office relocation project, be senior enough to be able to make decisions; be a good organizer of people and processes; have experience of setting and working within budgets; and be a good communicator.
