You’re planning an office move and, while you’re searching for the office moving services you need, two terms keep popping up… Office Mover and Office Move Coordinator. This industry specific lingo may have you asking: “What is an Office Move Coordinator anyway? And how are they different from Office Movers?”
Simply put, an Office Mover takes care of the things we usually think of when we think “office move.” They help you with the physical aspects of the move – all the packing, heavy lifting, and actual moving of things. Typically, Office Movers have the resources, tools, equipment, insurance, and training to minimize downtime and damage and maximize efficiency.
In comparison, an Office Move Coordinator handles all the different aspects of planning, preparing, facilitating, and implementing your move. An Office Move Coordinator knows exactly where to start and how to get you from one office to another. They’ll ask you questions to get the best understanding of your move and will provide you with all the information you need, walking you through the process from beginning to end. An Office Move Coordinator is your first point of contact, overseeing and managing the time and booking of your move. They’re the ones who develop a timeline, properly brief staff, ensure that sites are prepared, supervise the site during the move, and provide post move support.
Hiring Office Movers can make your move more efficient and seamless, but hiring a team of Office Movers with an Office Move Coordinator can truly make your office move as painless as possible. We highly recommend hiring both as a badly planned office relocation can be costly, stressful, and create poor office morale, while a properly planned office move can be an opportunity to revitalize your business.
