What do you need to make my company move?
To carry out a company move and an office move, good organization is first of all needed. It is recommended to inform workers, plan the transfer well in advance and take inventory of all office materials. To transport the company’s furniture and materials, it is recommended to hire a company that offers office transfer services. The company that carries out the business move will be in charge of requesting and obtaining the necessary permits.
How to make an office moving plan?
There are many ways to plan the relocation of a company and its offices. Some steps we recommend when developing an office moving plan based on our own experience are:
• Plan the dates for the move to the new offices 3-4 months in advance
• Inform employees of the transfer and the dates on which it will take place
• Ensure that the new facilities have the basic supplies to carry out work activities there
• Clean the new workspace, before moving furniture and office equipment
• Make an inventory of all office supplies
Hire the services of a company that deals with the transportation, packaging, assembly and disassembly of office furniture.
Is the moving company responsible for assembling and disassembling the furniture?
Yes, the moving company in charge of carrying out the transfer and moving of the offices can take care of, in addition to the transport and packaging of the furniture, the assembly and disassembly of the same.
The assembly and disassembly will depend on the access that exists in both the offices of origin and the offices of destination. This step will be carried out as long as it is requested by the client or is necessary for the safe transport of office furniture. If the accesses are spacious and allow the office furniture to be moved safely, the assembly and disassembly of the office furniture will not be necessary.
If, on the other hand, the accesses are narrow, the furniture must be dismantled, moved and reassembled in the destination offices.
