Planning a winter move may not be something you are interested in or looking forward to, but it could be exactly what your Vancouver company needs. Although organizing a move in winter differs from organizing one in summer, it is still very possible to do within a similar time frame.
A great way to stay on track with your office move is to create a checklist for you and your team members to utilize well ahead of your move.
Here are some things to add to your Vancouver office move checklist:
Book your office moving company ASAP
One of the most important things you need to know is the date of your move and how much time you will have that day. Once you know the time frame, you can book your Vancouver office moving company within it so you can make the best use of their help. You can then plan around what needs to be done prior to their arrival so they can get to work immediately. Booking a company ahead of time will also save you from being anxious or stressed last minute.
Stay as organized as possible
It might be tempting to tell your staff to pack all of their belongings to take into the new office, but you might regret this once you begin unpacking everything. Staying as organized as you possibly can from the beginning will make your office move go more smoothly. If there are bigger pieces of equipment or furniture you would like to get out of the way, you can utilize our storage space located in Vancouver. We offer furniture recycling as well in case you no longer have a need for them anymore.
Use an Office Move Coordinator
The actual day of the office move can seem more chaotic than you originally anticipated due to the number of things going on that day. If you are worried about how things are going at either your previous or new office space (depending on where you are), you can always utilize our office move coordination service to ensure things are going according to plan. The Office Move Coordinator will oversee all aspects of the planning, preparation and physical move supervision, along with timelines, scheduling, and communications.
Keep an eye on the weather
This might seem like a minor addition to your checklist but could make a huge difference on the day of the actual move. If you are not flexible with your timings and suddenly the weather becomes unreliable as it is winter, you may start to fall behind or feel like you are rushing from one thing to the next. It’s recommended that you check the weather forecast prior to and on the day of the office move. The best thing to do is to also leave time in between the tasks you have scheduled just in case of any possible delays.
