How to Make your Next Office Move as Seamless as Possible

One of the most stressful tasks for a small business is moving. Accommodating all the new faces after an expansion, needing cubicles moved, telephone and computers hooked up, and more. Moving can seem so stressful that many people may opt not to move. But it doesn't have to be stressful. Look at it as giving your employees the best work possible environment to boost productivity and office morale.

Whether your office will be moving into a bigger or smaller space, we've provided six tips on making this move as seamless as possible.

1. Start Planning Early

Last-minute changes can be the most stressful part of any big move. To avoid them, start the planning process early. The earlier you begin, the more time you'll have to handle any issues that crop up or any additional costs. Rather than having to pay premium prices for any last-minute issues, you will have time to look for the best and most affordable option.

With a more extended schedule to use, you will identify your best option for the moving process. Early planning also allows you to draw up the best budget. It will also allow you to perform price checks for all the professional movers near you.

2. Assign a Project Manager

Moving from one office space to another is like any other project you've undertaken at work. Team effort is essential to get the best result. By appointing a project manager, you'll have someone to facilitate all the processes needed in relocation. It's best to choose someone with experience with budgets and excellent organizational skills. These skills will help the planning process. If the manager also has excellent communication skills, this is an advantage because they'll have to contact different vendors during planning.

3. Bring Your Employees in on the Process

Communicating with your employees on the moving plans will help streamline the entire process. Letting them know packing arrangements, new addresses, and revised contact information will help them acclimatize to the new space more efficiently. Involving your employees can increase their emotional investment in the process and inspire some employees to help. It will also help delegate various duties as you move and settle in the new location.

4. Get Rid of Clutter

It's best to move only with the things you need. Not only will decluttering remove some of the hassles of reorganizing the new space, but it will also give your new office a cleaner look. A deep clean of the current office will help you dispose of old furniture, shred old paperwork, and get rid of obsolete files. Consult with the staff to determine what should and shouldn't be disposed of.

5. Move Outside of Business Hours

Moving on weekends or nights will help you avoid traffic on the road and foot traffic in the building.

6. Hire Professional Office Movers

Failing to get professionals to handle your office moving can create more stress and workload. For the employees, the biggest priority should be generating business rather than taking care of logistics. Also, when handling a move internally, it is possible to damage equipment. The safety of the staff is also at risk, which may create room for legal liability.

Moving your office can be a smooth and memorable experience when handled by experienced professionals such as DFW Fireman Movers. We assure a safe and stress-free move with our professional staff members that double as firemen.

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
