How to Prepare for Office Movers to Relocate Your Business

office movers PhoenixIs your business planning to relocate soon? If so, then the days, weeks, and months that lay ahead represent what could be an exciting chapter in your company’s history. However, that doesn’t mean that the transition to a new workplace will be easy. Sometimes, a business move can be a most challenging project because of the number of people, amount of furniture, and numerous digital communication systems involved. Thankfully, your office movers will be able to handle most of these responsibilities, but there are some preparations you can make that will help the entire project go as smoothly as possible.

Have your employees pack their own cubicle belongings – You can help the moving process go more quickly if your employees pack their own files, stationary, and personal effects. Be sure to buy at least two boxes per worker to provide ample packaging for their items.

Plan for the move to occur on a weekend – Moving when your business is ordinarily closed (for example, weekends for offices, Mondays for restaurants, and federal holidays for government facilities) will help eliminate the amount of downtime your business must endure during the move.

Have a plan on what goes where – Long before the office movers arrive, you should already have a plan in place on where furniture will go in your new office. Provide a copy of this plan to your moving company so they already have a strategy in place for delivering and setting up your furniture.

Have a communications plan arranged – Be sure your communications technicians are working with the moving team so the removal and setup of phone lines, internet networks, fax and printer cables, and other digital infrastructure is properly coordinated to prevent delays or malfunctions during the course of the transition to a new workplace.

Start preparing for the office move as soon as you are certain the relocation is happening, since many of the steps involved in planning for a business move can take weeks to execute. As with any moving job, a business relocation can be successful with thorough communication between the office movers and their customers, so be sure to talk to your assigned project manager whenever a question arises.
