Our Movers’ Efficient Office Relocation Checklist in Canton, MI & Belleville, MI
An office relocation move is all about organization and knowing how to plan ahead for your move. With this Ultimate Office Moving Checklist, you and your employees will be ready to start planning your move towards its successful completion.
Here are a few tasks that our movers recommend that you should complete in preparation for your office relocation. Starting early and keeping all affected parties notified of the move is important to do right away. Rushing or missing a step can slow down the moving process or even incur additional costs and fees.
- Create a shared moving folder for all documents about the move, moving and storage quotes, schedules, and contacts.
- Inform employees about the move.
- Confirm dates of when employees should begin and end their packing and preparations.
- Create checkpoints to check in and see how employees are handling the stress of the move.
- Complete a walkthrough of your current office and complete an inventory.
- Measure all furniture and equipment to make a floor plan for the new office space.
- Decide what services your office relocation requires: a full-service move, packing, disassembly of equipment/ cubicles, floor planners, short- and long-term storage, and more.
- Schedule moving estimates with moving and storage companies to complete walk-throughs in both the current and new locations for an accurate estimate.
- Hire a moving and storage company that best fits your needs, schedule, and budget.
- Notify suppliers, vendors, customers, and remote workers of the upcoming move and change of address.
- Notify the post office and utilities about the upcoming office relocation and change of address.
- Call and reconfirm the moving date with the moving and storage company.
- After the move is complete reflect and gather feedback from employees about the process and how it can go even better next time.
While this checklist is in general order, all these points are important to complete as you prepare for and handle your office relocation. Starting early and keeping up good communication is key to a successful move.
