How To Relocate An Office

Getting your business into a new space? Congrats! Whether you’re moving somewhere larger, somewhere more central or somewhere with better facilities, relocating the office is sure to benefit your business. But if it’s been a while since you’ve last moved, or if it’s the first time you’re ever moving, then it can seem a bit daunting and tricky. Don’t stress: it’s way easier than it seems, provided you’ve got a team of pros like Fragile Removals helping you out. Here, we explain how to relocate your office successfully and with minimal downtime:

Start the process 6 months before moving

While you don’t have to start tearing your office apart just yet, it’s a good idea to start the process of moving around 6 months before your actual moving date. This includes setting up the office moving team, making a budget, creating a decommissioning plan and researching moving companies that specialise in commercial moves.

Lock in your moving date

Once you’re about 4 or 5 months away from your moving date, lock it in with your commercial movers. Highly sought-after teams like Fragile Removals are often booked out months in advance, so it’s best to get in quick.

Create a plan with your moving team

This is when you’ll create a moving plan with your commercial movers. You’ll discuss any specialised equipment that needs transporting, and will design a floor plan of the new office space.

Downsize and upgrade

Moving businesses is both the perfect time to cut down on things you don’t need anymore, and upgrade equipment that’s outdated. Start compiling a list of things to get rid of, selling this stuff off and contributing that money to the new office-warming party. Make a list of necessary equipment and furniture upgrades for the new office.

Schedule disconnections and transfers

Moving offices involves calling up all your current providers and letting them know you’re moving. Not the most enthralling part of the move, but a necessary one nonetheless. Internet, phone provider, and utilities should all be notified a month before the move so that you can plug-and-play from day dot in the new office space.

Let everybody know about it

And finally, broadcast your move! Clients and customers are the top priority here, letting them know that you’re moving to a better location. Don’t forget to change your address on Google Maps too.
