Tips for managing an office move

Relocating an office is never easy, regardless of whether you are moving around the world or just across the street.  The good news is there are a number of tips that focus on what you need to do and know; if you pay attention to these tips, you will be able to prepare and organize with a much greater degree of success.

You need to begin planning the office move as early as you possibly can to make sure that you have the time to deal with any unexpected issues that may arise during the course of the relocation process.  It is also an excellent idea to involve your team wherever possible to alleviate some of the pressure.  Allocating small details to members of staff will allow you to focus on the big picture.

One of the simplest ways to organize your office relocation is to get your employees to individually deal with the packing of their own desks.  Provide them with labeling and packing supplies to enable them to do this in their own time.  Some form of color coding system will be required so that the moving company is aware of which room the boxes come from and where they need to go in the new location.

Employees should label their belongings clearly and group them together in order to make them easier to transport.  Ask your employees to dispose of any items they no longer need, as this will also make the relocation experience easier. Some personal items may not be able to be moved by the professional moving company.  Be sure to ask your professional Moving Consultant the specifics of the move during the on-site estimate.
