Moving is a complicated task, especially when it comes to relocating a business. It can be a stressful and confusing experience trying to figure out everything you need to do. Fortunately, the commercial movers at Checkmate Moving and Storage are here to help. This Highlands Ranch, CO, team offers a few tips for a smooth move. 

Industrial Moving Checklist 

1. Determine What to Move 

movingDecide which items you'll take to the new location and which ones will be thrown away or replaced. The months before a move is a perfect time to declutter and get rid of damaged or unnecessary items. Also, if you’re moving into a new space as a part of a rebranding or company upgrade, you might consider replacing some furniture and decor to reflect the change.  

2. Choose a Moving Company 

Moving an office or industrial facility requires professional help. Research local movers and ask friends and colleagues for recommendations. Once you’ve selected the top candidates, request a detailed estimate from each. It should include all of the services needed, including packing or unpacking, furniture installation, and storage options. Then, choose a moving company offering quality service within your budget. Book at least three months in advance, if possible, because movers usually have full schedules. 

3. Finalize the Floor Plan 

Complete a detailed floor plan, including office and department locations, as well as furniture and equipment placement. The movers at Checkmate Moving and Storage have years of experience moving and reassembling office spaces and will be happy to help you with this task.

4. Set Up Technology 

You’ll also need to call internet and phone service providers to alert them of your upcoming move. If you’re working with a new communications company, they may need to send a technician to assist with the installation. To minimize downtime, meet with your IT department as well to discuss technology setup. You may want to ask them to work different or additional hours on the day of the move to set up equipment as quickly as possible. 

5. Unpack 

Once you’re in the new location, don’t wait to start unpacking. Movers can help with this task as well, unpacking boxes or assembling furniture. The sooner you begin unpacking, the sooner you’ll be back to business.
