Tips to Organise your Office Removals
Organising your office removals requires painstaking co-ordination and meeting of deadlines. We've put together our top 5 best practice office removals tips to enable your office move day to go like clockwork.
1. Work with the right Office Removal Company
This is a crucial part in achieving a smooth and hassle free office move. They’ll need to specialise in office removals, be fully licensed and insured, and have a good understanding of your priorities, deadlines and objectives of the office move. It’s advisable to shop around and get 3 office removals quotes and chose the office removals company you feel can offer you the best value for money and service.
2. Plan your office removals in advance
Organising your office removals will require just as much attention as the rest of the moving office process, so don’t leave anything to chance. Use the Office Removals Checklist to make sure the actual move day goes like clockwork. A well organised office move will mean that everything lands in it’s right place and working as it should on the first day in your new office.
3. Communicate to staff
Let your staff know the office removals schedule once it’s been finalised so they can plan their work commitments around the move. Let them know what’s expected of them and keep them involved at all times so they feel part of it and staff morale levels are maintained.
4. Confirm the new office layout
You will need to communicate the new office layout to your Office Removals Company to avoid confusion and chaos when they arrive at the new office. Once you have finalised your office space plan with an Office Design Company, circulate the plan to your Office Removals Company and have copies available at both sites.
5. Keep your cool!
When the office move day finally comes around, stress levels will be high but try to keep your cool and delegate responsibility where you can. You’ll need to have both locations (old and new office) managed by someone responsible internally so they can oversee the office removals and be available to deal with any issues that may arise. If you’ve done enough pre-planning beforehand, and you have the support of a good Office Removals company there should be no reason why your office move can’t go smoothly or without disruption.
