Office relocation is a delicate process. You have to carefully plan when each space should be packed and moved to the new location so that it has little interference with the day-to-day operations. Use this guide to organize your move so everything is in order when the office moving company arrives.

How to Plan a Corporate Move

1. Assign a Moving Manager

Each department in your office should be given specific moving tasks, but you need someone to oversee this work. Appoint someone responsible for creating a timeline and following up with each step on the calendar to ensure limited downtime throughout the move.

2. Create a Layout

Formulate a clear plan for where everything needs to go in the new office. Take a blueprint of the new space and color-code each area with a coordinating list of items that should be placed in each. Later, when packing, add a copy of each list to stacks of boxes and furnishings. This lets the office moving company know exactly where to bring all of your items.

3. Move Technical Equipment Early

Disconnecting and reconnecting your office’s computers, servers, and phones is often the most significant headache of relocating. Unfortunately, an office moving company can’t do this for you, so start preparing as soon as you know the move is happening. Call communications companies to schedule the transfer of voice and internet services, and prioritize moving this equipment before other furnishings.
