OFFICE RELOCATION TIPS

Relocating or moving a business or a home to a different location is considered to be a serious stressful event in a person's life.

4-6 months before relocation:

Before choosing the office relocation, it's important to know the essential objective behind relocation. If the objective is to scale back expenditure, then the answer is to reorganize the way the business is functioning instead of relocating. Even an easy restructuring can reduce the costs significantly over a period of your time. If the objective is to expand the business, then relocation to a more spacious location is that the solution. Once the new office premise is found, it's important to work out the layout of the new facility. Information about the possible date of relocation should be communicated to all or any the workers within the organization. It's important to obtain necessary permits, and also apply for new telephone and fax numbers.

2-4 months before relocation:

Professional packers and movers should be contacted and an in depth relocation plan should be chalked out. The whole internet, telephone and other communication connections should be properly examined. Place orders for furniture, desks, chairs, computers, photocopiers and other necessary equipment.

1-2 months before relocation:

This is the time when the whole plan should be discussed with the employees. Every individual should be handed over a responsibility. The time is often utilized to segregate useless items from useful ones. Useless items and materials should be disposed of properly. Change of address and telephone numbers should be duly communicated to all or any vendors, distributors and customers. At the same time, these details should be updated within the office website. All financial records should be updated. Important files, checks and documents should be properly arranged at one place. All furniture, communication services and equipment should be properly installed and a listing has to be made. New stationery should be ordered.

One week before relocation:

This is the foremost hectic period. All office desks should be emptied into cartons that are labeled. Items need to be placed in their respective cartons. It's important to reschedule important meetings to a later date. Electronic equipment should be properly uninstalled, packed and relocated to the new facility.
