One part of moving into a new office space is excitement, and the other part is stress. There are large pieces such as desks and chairs, and there are all the small pieces that go with computers and other equipment. The thought of moving office furniture and everything else can be daunting.
To tackle the overwhelming task of relocating your office, prepare ahead of time with this pre-move checklist.
Pre-Move Checklist
Each step taken in advance will help relieve pressure as your moving day gets closer.
1-2 Months Before
- Measure new office space dimensions.
- Assess what office furniture will move to the new space and what can be given away.
- Have the new office inspected for signs of damage and health hazards.
- Alert clients and vendors of your change of address.
The Week Before the Move
- Set up all technical equipment and double check that wiring is ready to go.
- Have a cleaning company finalize the new space.
- Have all office furniture tagged with its proper relocation space.
- Set a deadline for unpacking and recommencement of business.
Finishing Touches
Set up your new office in a way that is efficient and promotes productivity. If your previous space didn’t have an area to collaborate, consider arranging your office furniture in an open layout format. This type of design encourages employees to work together and helps fast track projects. A new office is a great opportunity to use your office furniture to showcase your business in a new light.
