How to Plan an Office Relocation

Help Moving Office will guide you through each and every stage of your office relocation by providing you with the right advice, Checklists and planning tools that will get your business from A to B smoothly and without disruption.
Before you begin, there's some basic rules to follow when planning an office move. Understanding these will help you avoid the common mistakes made by many companies. They'll also help you to keep one step ahead whilst juggling so many tasks and organizing your project team.
Rule #1 Don't Underestimate what's Involved
Moving a business is a huge undertaking and many businesses underestimate what's involved in the process and therefore don't allow enough time for all the planning and preparation required. Roughly speaking an office move can take anywhere between 9 - 18 months to organize, depending on the size of company and your requirements. Use the Timeline Template to help you set key dates and keep your move on track.
Rule #2 Define your Requirements
Make sure you are clear about your new office space requirements. These will include size, location, facilities, and budget.
Rule #3 Hire a Tenant Rep Broker
Don't go hunting for office space on your own! Hire a Tenant Rep Broker to help you. They'll work with you to find the property and negotiate the best lease terms for your business.
Rule #4 Set a Budget
An office move can be a costly undertaking and costs can easily spiral out of control if you don't have a working budget. Use the Moving Office Budget Planner to find out what costs you need to consider and manage your finances throughout the move.
Rule #5 Get a Checklist
With so many tasks to juggle and deadlines to meet it's impossible to remember everything. Print off the Office Move Checklist to identify all the tasks that need to be done in the run up to the move and manage a hassle-free relocation!
