Move Office: The Moving Day

If your employees are well prepared for the move, the moving day will not be the most stressful day in your life. Use specific guidelines to help you in the moving process as this field may be unfamiliar to many people, so some planning and preparing are necessary.

Measure the rooms in the new office and note their shapes. Create a floor plan and include in it all office furniture and equipment and supply each employee with the copy of the plan. All the participants of the moving process (employees, landlords, movers) should get the copies of the floor plan with moving details and instructions. Label and number all office equipment and furniture. Proper instructions will help to work quickly and without delay.

Empty desks, wall units, bookcases and shelves, except filing cabinets, they must be locked with packing tape. Personal things (documents, money, pictures and plants) must be packed personally. Ensure all loose materials like pens, pencils, fountain pens, paper clips and others are secured in sealed envelopes first and to protect all glass and fragile items use stuffing or paper before packing. Make special arrangements to secure important files with the movers.

All furniture, equipment and other items should be labeled. All garbage should be discarded prior the moving day to save additional expenses but double check that the stuff being discarded is not important.

Ensure elevators work properly and are big enough for furniture. If the building has no elevators or they are unfit, you should give warning to the movers prior to the move so they can prepare.

Remember that some electrical machines require special handing so they must be moved by someone who knows what they are doing. If you have rented equipment, the rental company should be notified prior to the move.

Each employee should know how to take their equipment apart and disconnect and dismantle computers in a proper way. Photocopying machines and secure loose parts must be drained of liquids and transported in separate sealed boxes. Empty and dismantle properly water dispensers and vending machines.
