How to move office
A successful office relocation demands careful preparation.
It’s important to form a project team as early as possible before
the move, and at least twelve months in advance. It’s also
essential to contact the British Association of Commercial
specialists who will advise on packing, security and other
important topics.
Internally you’ll need to appoint a move organizer,
or employ a freelance expert from a firm such as Move Plan, which
organizes relocation for firms from two to 6,000 people. You’ll
also need to pick a time when closing down your IT department will
cause the fewest problems to the business and, for that reason, the
majority of firms now move over a weekend.
Next make a list of all the furniture, equipment and
paperwork. Commercial movers will pack filling in A-Z order, so if
A-G leaves the building, it’s still A-G when it’s unpacked.
Confidential files can be sealed in secure boxes for the moving
day.
Commercial specialists will keep company employees
fully informed and answer any questions they may have. You may move
offices once or twice in your career, but experts do it every
day.
16 According to the article, the minimum planning time for an
office move should be a year.
