We heard you’re ready to move into your new office this year. Do you need some guidance on how to approach it? Vancouver’s favourite office moving company, DLO Move Support Services Ltd. has got you covered! We’ve come up with some helpful tips on how you can properly prepare before you start moving into your new office.
Don’t wait until the last minute! Start the planning process early
We know that moving into a new Vancouver office may be overwhelming, and in turn cause you to procrastinate when things become difficult. We highly recommend that you dive right in and start preparing for the office move as soon as you decide you’re moving. The sooner, the better but at least give you and your team a couple of months’ notice to start planning your move.
Tour the new office location
This is an absolute must when you confirm the location of your new office! It’s important to strategically plan out your office move while keeping the location in mind when you first tour the new location. How can boxes and furniture make their way to the new office in a convenient and efficient way? Will your items be easily transportable through the front doors or are they too big?
Utilize the office floor plan as best as you can
You should try to maximize the floor plan of your new Vancouver office as best as you can. Use it as a guide to figure out where you want certain items to be placed or how things should be arranged within certain parameters or while adhering to non-movable structures. It’s recommended you figure out where to place the bigger pieces of furniture first to make it easier for your office movers.
Sort office furniture and equipment
We know many people look for the opportunity to purchase new furniture when they move offices. It’s the perfect excuse to finally revamp your old style and maybe refresh your space with new furniture. When preparing for an office move, figure out what you are happy to bring to your new space and make a list of what needs to be purchased.
Time the office move right
Timing is truly everything! If your company has certain months or periods of time that are really busy, we suggest postponing your office move to another time. Moving around holidays and specific seasons can also be stressful as availability of movers and weather also play big roles when it comes to moving.
