One of the easiest ways to facilitate a more efficient office move is by hiring a professional moving company to help you. ALS Van Lines,  a commercial and residential moving company, can help make your office move a stress-free experience.

To help you better plan your office move, take a look at a few of our best tips for organizing and executing the perfect office relocation.

Determine Who Will Be in Charge

The first thing you will want to do to get your office move in gear is to select someone to be in charge of the move. This person needs to not only be organized, but assertive in making decisions and ensuring everyone is getting what they need to get done. If you’re working with a professional moving team, a reputable company will provide a project coordinator for you. The project coordinator will act as the person in charge of all moving-related issues associated with you and your in-house staff, and will provide close support and assistance to make the process as easy and efficient as possible for everyone involved.

Create an Inventory List

Before you start to pack everything up for the move, you will want to create an inventory list of everything that will be packed up and moved. This will ensure that everything that you take with you arrives safely to the new location and to prevent loss or theft of your belongings. A detailed inventory list is also a great tool to make sure that everyone has what they need to get set up and start working in their new workspace as soon as possible, which will reduce move-related downtime. You can also use this as a chance to get rid of unneeded items or upgrade some outdated or broken ones.

Orchestrate Moving Projects Months In Advance To Get Ahead

Depending on how much time you have before your moving date, you will want to create a schedule to start getting things packed up and ready to go. For items that you will not be using before the move, you should pack them up and set them aside beforehand. In this case, consider renting a storage space to safely hold these items until you need them again. Anything you can take care of earlier rather than later will make your actual relocation day (and the days surrounding it) a lot less stressful.

Hire a Moving Company

As we mentioned before, moving professionals can make the process of moving a lot easier for you and your employees. Once you have decided on a moving date, it’s time to call a moving company to step in and help you come up with an efficient plan. In fact, you should call several of them to compare on-site estimates, services, and moving plan suggestions. Moving companies can take over and handle your move from start-to-finish, even performing full-service packing up of all of your office property. This can be important for moving high-tech items like printers and servers, computers, TVs, and more. A moving team can also help to keep your employees on task to reduce downtime, executing the move so that everyone in your office can focus on keeping business running as usual.

Order Any Necessary Moving Supplies

To make packing your items much easier, it is best to order enough moving supplies to cover your move in advance. Remember that you will need boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and any other supplies that are unique to your move. This will allow you to supply your employees with the items needed to pack their belongings.
