Make sure the final floor plan has been agreed by Senior Directors before issueing copies to your Office Moving Company. For larger office moves, it may be necessary to have a floor plan for each individual office or department.
Labelling
Every furniture item that is to be moved, needs to be labelled. Work with your Office Moving Company to label each item; using color codes or number to help you locate it in the new office.
Order Crates & Packaging
Your Office Moving Company will allocate you the right amount of crates prior to the move day so your staff can start to pack away their personal items.
Decommission Computers & Phones
On the last working day in your current office, PCs and telephones need to be unplugged ready to be securely packed and transported to the new office.
Arrange Rubbish Clearance
Garbage and any recycling needs to be collected from your old premises so the office is left in a clear state. You can then arrange for the final office clean to take place before handing the keys back over to the landlord.
