We know it may seem very overwhelming when you first decide to move offices. You might even be wondering what you need to pack and how you can prepare for your upcoming office move. Depending on how much time is left between now and the date of your office move, it may be better if you hire a Vancouver office moving company to help coordinate your move so you can take a bit of that responsibility off your shoulders.
Here are some tips on how to pack and prepare for your office move:
Organize what you currently have in your office
When you first decide that you want to move into a new office, it’s important to dive right in and make a list of the stuff you are choosing to keep and what you are willing to get rid of. When you have the list of the equipment or pieces of furniture you are moving into the new office, you can begin to pack them up if they are not being used so there are less things to pack at the last minute. If there are things you still need to use in your current office, make a checklist that you and your team members have access to so they are not forgotten last minute.
Donate or discard your old furniture and equipment
As you continue to organize your furniture and equipment, you will find that there are many things that are either old, unused, or don’t even have a need anymore. This is the time you and your team members should either donate or discard so you are not taking too many things into the new office. If your furniture or equipment is in good shape, we strongly suggest you donate it so someone else can find a good use for it.
Plan out the moving day
This will be the most important tip, as planning out your moving day will keep you and your team members on track to get the job done within a specific time frame. You need to ensure you know when the office movers will arrive and how long they will stay to help you move into your new Vancouver office. If you are waiting on deliveries, it would also be beneficial for you to time it all on the same day so you can get everything all organized in the office on that day.
