An office relocation is a complicated task that requires careful planning and execution. Besides the apparent logistics, it involves changing your office address in various documents and on websites, social media and business listings. It also consists in preparing a schedule for employees to ensure the transition happens smoothly and efficiently. Whether you have a small or large company, an outside company specialising in office moving services can be beneficial. You’ll typically begin researching and vetting office relocation companies about six months before your move date. By this time, you should have a clear idea of the costs and a budget in mind. Some hidden costs can be overlooked, so it’s essential to note them. In addition to office furniture and equipment, you’ll have to decommission your old workspace, including removing cables, electrical installations, and fixtures. This can be a big job and should be done before the movers arrive. It would help if you informed any vendors (landscaping, cleaning, security) servicing your old office that you will be relocating. It’s also good to communicate important information about the new neighbourhood, including local emergency numbers, places to eat and amenities, to your team. Hold a meeting to discuss the details, or at least send an email with a link to a presentation. This will help ease anxieties and keep everyone on the same page.
