Mistakes You May Make While Relocating Your Office

Moving your firm’s office can be a headache if it is not planned out properly. So proper planning is essential for your company’s next office relocation. But you should not make the following mistakes during your office relocation. These can cost you money.

Don’t forget to create a master plan:

Before relocating your office, you must create a master plan. A comprehensive moving checklist with a proper master plan will help you to move smoothly and efficiently.

Never underestimate budget:

If you are planning to move your own without getting a professional moving company involved then you should not underestimate the cost of moving.  Fixing up a healthy budget with proper planning can make your relocation stress free and hassle free.

Do not move everything:

Never move everything. Move only those items that are very much essential to run your office. More items you transport more expensive your move will be. Even you will realize that certain office furniture can easily replaced once you settle in your new office.

Never select wrong moving methods:

Selection of moving methods solely depends on your moving budget. You can hire full service mover, a man with a van or rented truck only to move your office furniture and other accessories.

Never pack fragile items with others:

It is always recommended to pack fragile items in a separate box. Never mix those items with others. Pack them carefully and handle with care.

Research not done properly:

Selecting a new office location without doing adequate research of that new place is a great mistake. Check the availability of different types of services like banking, internet connection, transportation and other medical facility before moving your office to the new location.

 Not having enough insurance:

You can not predict that every item will be moved and placed safely. Some items may get damaged during move. So talk to your mover and make sure that their policy provide coverage for your belongings if things get damaged in transit.

Not keeping any schedule:

Do not forget to fix up a time schedule and advise all employees of moving plans. Ask them to cooperate and coordinate with you during the move.

The best way to avoid these mistake is to go with a moving company that has experienced, trained and certified movers with a proven track record of successful office relocation.
