You
and your employees spend at least 40 hours every
week in your office, so it should be an area that is practical and pleasant.
Your entire business is contingent
upon what goes down within those offices.
With that at the front of your mind, you might be contemplating an office relocation. There are lots rationales
to do so:
- You
have outgrown your
current office in Killeen. Your employees
need a little area! As you expand
and hire more people, you require additional
office space to have room for them. (Nobody wants to share a desk or go to the break
room only to figure out there is no break room.)
- You
prefer your warehouse and office
to be within throwing distance. If you have
a warehouse of inventory, it could be nice to have your office nearby so you do not have to have such a commute.
- You
need to increase your visibility. Some businesses profit
when potential buyers can see
your sign every day and have easy access to your front door. If
this description fits you, it is time to get
away from of that sixth floor office or hidden alley office and get into the limelight.
- A
different location makes more sense. Maybe your current
locale was wonderful for opening
your business, but now it's time to relocate
to a place that is more available
for your clients, has more parking, or is simply more upscale.
- You
need space for a new department. An office
relocation may be as uncomplicated
as moving one department of workers into a
new area in the same building or complex.
Still, no matter how easy the move
might seem, there is a lot to ponder, which is why it's a good idea to hire
a professional moving company that can take care of your office move from start to finish.
- Disassembling
and Reassembling Furniture: There aren't very many
office conference tables that will navigate
through a door as a single piece
(and seriously, would you want to carry it even if it could?).
Disassembling furniture and putting
it back together is slow
and delicate: you need to take
care not to lose a single screw! You and your
employees can surely find a better use of your time.
- Moving
Records and Files: You have your files organized, and you should be able to start where you ended when you are
in your new office. Prior to hiring
a professional mover, double check that they're capable of maintaining the organization and safeguarding
the privacy of the people whose files are being relocated.
- Moving
IT Systems:
A few computers is one thing; an entire
network of computers, printers and desk phones is
another. Additionally, even with a single
tablet, you need to make sure it is correctly packed
and padded to avoid damage in
transit. When you arrive, you want to rest assured that
your system can be reinstalled efficiently and, of
course, correctly.
- Moving
Heavy Equipment: Depending upon your
business, you may have large,
oddly shaped pieces of expensive
equipment that need to be relocated, too.
How are you thinking about moving
that item? How will you protect it? That
is what pros do best.
- Keeping
to a Timeline: When your office is being relocated, it is difficult to keep up with work, which is why it's essential
for an office relocation to happen quickly.
