As the days get shorter and the craziness of summer dies down, business begins to get back to normal. With this comes the changes you were unable to make during the summer months. In Vancouver, many businesses choose to move in the Fall. The mild weather makes fall a pleasant time to move your office, but it also poses some challenges. Here are four ways to protect your belongings from Fall weather during a Vancouver office move.
Prepare for All Types of Weather
While you likely cannot change the date of your move, you can be prepared for any weather you may experience. Keeping an eye on the forecast in the weeks and days leading up to your move will ensure you have the necessary equipment for a successful move. You will be able to purchase tarps, umbrellas, or trucks if necessary. Unfortunately, this preparation can be quite overwhelming and time-consuming.
That’s where DLO Move Support Services can help you. We provide office move coordination services for businesses in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Feel confident knowing our team will make all necessary preparations and adjustments for your Vancouver office move to be seamless.
Use Appropriate Packing Materials
The most common way to pack up your belongings when moving your corporate office in Vancouver is to use cardboard boxes. There are a few reasons why you should rent reusable boxes instead. Cardboard boxes are not the most environmentally friendly option and by using a reusable box, your company is upholding its commitment to going green.
Cardboard boxes typically need to be taped shut, preventing you from being able to access them if you need to add something or take something out. They also lack structure, putting your belongings at risk of being broken or of falling apart altogether.
In the fall, one of the main reasons you should use reusable eco-bins instead is that they are waterproof. If the boxes are sitting outside waiting to be brought into your new location, you risk water soaking through the cardboard and damaging your belongings. When you set your boxes down on the wet Vancouver cement, the cardboard boxes absorb water, damaging the bottom of your belongings, whereas an eco-bin would keep it waterproof on all sides.
Properly Move Furniture
Disassembling your furniture when possible, will make your Vancouver office move easier. When it is in more movable pieces or wrapped with protective materials, your furniture will have less risk of damage and be protected from the elements.
It can be difficult and time-consuming to disassemble and reassemble your furniture. You may not have time to take this on. DLO Move Support Services can do this for you!
