 Tenant Tips:
10 Tips for a Successful Office Move, continued
Moving to a new office? Consider the
following 10 tips to ensure things go a smoothly as
possible:
1) Select
a mover with office relocation experience; do not use
firms with only residential or household moving
experience.
2) Consider
the cost and difficulty of assembly and dis-assembly
when buying office furniture and modular wall and
furniture components
3) Check
with the local municipal government of your new location
for civil code requiring a permit if your street will be
obstructed during the move.
4) Choose
moving cartons no larger than 2 cubic feet in volume,
anything larger could cause lifting injuries to
employees.
5) Your
computer and other technology equipment should be
wrapped and secure in bubble wrap as opposed to
furniture pads.
6) Consult
with your office equipment vendor regarding the proper
method of transport for copiers and laser printers.
7) Ask
your mover how they will protect your flooring,
carpeting and doorways during the move out of your
existing location and the move into your new space.
Consider purchasing additional liability insurance.
8) Before
emptying file cabinets, see if your mover is capable of
transporting your file systems intact, without damaging
the file system’s structure.
9) Label
all items, furniture, boxes, and other packages and
appropriately mark any fragile items.
10) Consider
the location of electrical outlets at your new site and
have plenty of appropriately rated extension
cords/outlet strips that can be strategically placed
before heavy furniture and equipment block the wall
outlets.
