People and businesses continue to move to find better rental rates, increase sales, and for various other reasons. According to MoveBuddha, around half as many people move yearly today compared to the 1950s. Despite this decrease, there are still plenty of office moves. You have several things to consider, such as hiring a moving company.
Planning Ahead
Always plan if you know you’re going to move. Pick a moving company and determine what services they have you’ll want to use. Many companies offer additional services, such as document shredding. The more services you utilize, the less you have to do. However, if you aren’t going to use these services, you’ll need to do those things yourself.
Packing Early
You only realize how much stuff you have in an office once you start packing. Depending on how much equipment you have, packing it can take hours or days. You must remove or tape the cords to prevent falls. Start packing away things you don’t use early to make the move less stressful. This can help you avoid a last-minute dash to pack everything.
Getting Organized
Carefully label boxes and create a list on each box cataloging everything in the box while packing. You should also make another list that has a timeline for your move. This list can remind you to notify service providers of your move so you don’t forget anything. Please ensure everyone helping you move knows what they should do.
Document Shredding
It can be tempting to toss out documents while you’re in a rush, but people can find and use sensitive information in documents. To be on the safe side, avoid throwing away documents that contain anyone’s personal information, even if it’s just their name. A moving company can specialize in document shredding services to make moving less stressful.
Planning Out the Office Space
Take the time to walk through your future office and carefully plan where you’d like certain items to be placed. Carefully measure office furniture to ensure everything will fit within the room’s dimensions. Planning your future office space can instantly make it easier to unload and unpack. You can tell the moving crew exactly where you’d like furniture in advance to avoid confusion.
