How to Prepare Your Company for a Move

Relocating your office can be a significant undertaking, and cutting corners throughout the process can lead to costly mistakes and timeline setbacks. The best way to avoid these mistakes is to follow these simple tips for keeping the move organized and streamlined.

Plan Everything Well in Advance

At least three months before the move – but preferably even earlier than that – give your entire company a heads up that you will be relocating. This will also give you plenty of time to notify all your clients and vendors about your change of address and will help to ensure that you don’t feel rushed throughout the process, which will reduce the chance of mistakes.

Take an Inventory of Virtually Every Item that Is Being Moved and Label them Accordingly

Keeping track of all your assets is one of the most important things during an office move. You will likely be relying on many people to help complete the move, so having an accurate inventory will reduce the risk of items being lost or misplaced during the move.

Have Employees Pre-Pack Their Small Items and the Contents of Their Own Desks

Take full advantage of all the manpower at your disposal by tasking your employees with moving their own belongings and supplies. This will also make it easier on the movers that you hire.

Create a Detailed Layout Plan for the New Office

Doing this means that when you arrive at the new location, you will know where everything goes, making the process of unpacking much easier.

Hire a Moving Company that Specializes in Corporate Relocation

It’s easy enough to find a few men and a truck to move your office, but that doesn’t mean you will feel comfortable with who is handling your valuable items like flat-screen monitors, computers, industrial copiers, and IT infrastructure.
