The Dos and Don’ts When Preparing For An Office Move

When preparing for an office move it takes time and coordination to ensure little disruption to your employees or business.

The best way to ensure a good move is to hire a professional office mover who has done hundreds of office moves. Most importantly, a professional office mover has the equipment, trucks, and trained personnel.

Office Moving Quote

A professional moving company will walk through your office to determine the necessary resources and equipment. In addition, they will review the requirements at your new office location.

Then a quote will be prepared with all the needed services, including the required hours, staffing, trucks, and equipment. And then everything is put in writing to you. A lowball quote may be a red flag that the mover is not a professional company.

Project Manager

A professional mover will assign a move manager to coordinate the office move. They will also help plan the details of your office move. Designate an employee in your company as the office move coordinator. They will work closely with the moving company representative and keep the staff informed each step of the way.

Installation Services

A professional office mover will arrange to disassemble and reassemble office furniture systems. Another key point is they can coordinate with your telecommunication companies to ensure the service is coordinated with your office move.

New Furniture

A professional office mover will accept the delivery of new office furniture at their warehouse. They can store it, and above all, coordinate the delivery for your office move.

Packing and Unpacking

To help reduce costs, we recommend that employees clean out their work areas and files in common areas. Why pay to pack and move them? Have the mover pack any artwork or fragile items. Ask for bins and cartons to be dropped off so your employees can pack up their workstations and common areas. The moving company will provide packing instructions for your employees.

Storage and Disposal

If you have office furniture that needs storage or if you need disposal services for furniture, your office mover will provide this service.
