Relocating an office requires a lot of preparation to ensure that it doesn’t negatively impact the company’s daily operations. If you are planning an office move or other business relocation, the following tips can help make the transition as smooth as possible.
Get the Right Moving Supplies
It’s never too early to stock up on moving supplies. Even if you’re planning to move in a few months from now, you can get a head start on the process by gathering supplies.
Here’s a short list of supplies that you’ll need for a smooth office relocation:
- Cardboard boxes (variety of sizes)
- Bubble wrap
- Packing peanuts
- Packing paper
- Tape and tape dispenser/roller
- Zip ties
- Moving blankets
- Markers
- Box Cutters
Take Personal Items Home
You should advise employees to take their personal items home so they don’t get lost or damaged during the move. This includes framed photos, plants, coffee mugs, decorations and other personal items. Even if these items are small or otherwise easy to transport, they should be moved separately and by the employee who owns them.
Get Rid of Old Furniture
Moving office furniture is difficult enough. It’s even more difficult, however, when the furniture is broken. An easier and more sensible solution is to simply replace your old and/or damaged office furniture with new furniture. You can order your new furniture so it’s delivered to your new office location, allowing you to focus your time and labor elsewhere.
