Are you wondering how long it will take to relocate and move your office to a new location? When it comes to moving from one office to another, it may seem like a long and scary process if it is your first time. The best thing you can do to prepare for it is to hire an experienced office moving company that can help guide you through, so you maximize efficiency and productivity. Once you create a workback timeline schedule, you will know exactly how long it will take for you to relocate and move into your new office.
Here is what you can expect when it comes to relocating and moving offices:
Plan, plan, plan!
This planning stage will be the most important part of your whole office moving process as you will have to work backwards from the date you get the keys to your new office, “aka” the moving date. When you are planning to move, it’s important to consider what you are taking with you as all your things (whether its equipment or furniture) need to be organized and packed up.
Set internal deadlines
Once you have a list of items (big or small) that need to be packed and moved into the new office, it will be very beneficial for you to set internal deadlines for both yourself and your team members. By doing this, it will help you keep track of what has been done and what is left pending in terms of packing. You will also be able to determine how long the remaining items will take to pack so you can stay on course with your deadlines.
Align your delivery dates
If you are having any furniture and equipment delivered to the new office, you’d have to work backwards and ensure that they arrive prior to or on the moving date. If there are urgent items you are ordering online, try and get them shipped to you as soon as possible to avoid any potential or unforeseen delays. If the delivery dates align with your office moving date, it works out even better as you can get them all set up at the same time.
