Office Moving Tips

Office Moving Tips

Commercial moving operations pose their own set of challenges that are not shared by residential moves, as the amount of belongings that you’re moving likely exceeds those of the typical family. Here’s a guide to making your office or commercial move much more simple and easy, as prepared by the commercial moving experts here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage.

Find your Property Way in Advance of your Move

In order for your business to function properly at it’s new location, you need to ensure that all maintenance and installation work is completed well in advance. This includes the proper functioning of internet, phone lines, and climate control systems – as well as the placement of furniture and storage materials. Find your new property lease at least a half a year before your planned moving time in order to ensure that all the necessary work can be completed by the time you want to move in.

Figure out what Materials you Want to Keep

You might decide to purchase all new office supplies and furniture for your new office, since it’s usually easier than transporting all of your old furniture and office supplies. Make sure that you’re aware of the exact square footage specifications of the new location to ensure that your existing furniture and office materials can comfortably be installed and fit inside the new space. When you verify this, create a list or otherwise designate exactly what materials from your original office you’d like to be transported to your new space.

Moving Estimates

By working with a licensed professional moving operation like Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage, you guarantee yourself a fair and rigid moving estimate. Due to the variable logistics of a commercial move, it’s best to have one of our moving consultants check out your original office, the materials you want transported, and the new space ahead of time. We recommend doing this well in advance for your moving date in order to give you the most accurate expectation and representation of what the commercial moving estimate will be.

Create a Moving List

Make a checklist of actions that need to be completed in your commercial move in order of importance. This includes contacting and arranging for all utilities and deliveries at your new space, verifying any renovations that will be needed to be completed in advance of your move, a timeline of these renovations, planning for parking for your moving trucks on the day of the move, a model of your new space and where you will want to place your furniture, and, of course, a labeled system of moving boxes to make packing up your office much more smooth, easy, and pleasant.
