When planning a corporate office move you are likely seeking a moving company who will assist you throughout the process. Much like you use a residential moving company for your home moves, you will want to seek a commercial moving company for your office. It is important to know the key differences between the two types of movers to ensure you are hiring the right team for your office moving needs!
Commercial Office Movers Are Trained Professional Experts
Commercial movers are experts in the field of business moving and all of the potential challenges that arise throughout the process. Selecting a moving company that is well-versed in providing an office moving solution that is the least disruptive to your business is essential for both your clients and your team. Residential movers would not have experience in this process and may not appear as professional, well-groomed, technically skilled or compatible to your current office environment.
Commercial Office Movers Understand The Complexity Of The Move
The coordination of an office move is more complex than a residential move where the goal is for everything to be taken from point A to point B, particularly in new builds or tenant improvements. As you may be waiting for final construction to be complete, you should seek a company that has extensive experience working closely with contractors on office renovation projects. Office movers are trained to seamlessly move your files, archives and libraries with order, integrity and confidentiality – an essential part of ensuring your business is kept on track.
Commercial Office Movers Have The Proper Equipment
Office furniture, files and more require specialized moving equipment specifically suited for this purpose. Residential moving companies may only have access to traditional boxes and bins, but a commercial moving company will be able to rent you the necessary tubs, dollies, and library carts to protect your belongings and get the job done safely and efficiently.
Commercial Office Movers Know How To Coordinate Employees
Not only do you have to worry about moving your business’ belongings to the new location but you also need to be aware of how your team will transition to the new office. Residential movers will not have experience in coordinating employees to pack and prepare for a move, whereas an Office Move Coordinator is comfortable assisting your employees with this process and also working with businesses on efficient space planning for your office.
Commercial Movers Provide Access To Additional Services
Oftentimes, residential moving companies have smaller teams due to the average size of a residential move. Working with a commercial office moving company you will have access to a large crew and equipment in the Lower Mainland for rapid response to any unanticipated requirements. You also have the ability to access multiple services including office furniture repurposing, recycling, and storage management – all from the same company, making it simple for you as a business owner.
Commercial Movers Have Consistent Crews
Commercial moving companies will traditionally have less turnover than that of residential moving companies. What that means for your business is that you have consistent crews assisting with the different phases of your office move and space planning strategies. Think of your moving crew and Office Move Coordinator as an extension of your team, they get to know the inner workings of your business and can customize the move experience to suit your specific needs.
