You
and your employees spend at least 40 hours a
week in your office, so it has to be a place that is useful and amiable.
Your whole livelihood is contingent
upon what goes on within those walls.
Keeping that at the front of your mind, you might be contemplating an office relocation. There are several justifications
to do so:
- You
have gotten too big for your
current office in Houston. Your employees
need a little area! As you expand
and hire more people, you require additional
office space to house them. (Nobody would like to share a desk or go to the break
room only to realize there is no break room.)
- You
would like for your warehouse and office
to be close together. If you have
a warehouse of inventory, it might be more
productive to have your office very
close so you don't have to make such a commute.
- You
want to increase your visibility. Some businesses benefit
when potential buyers can see
your sign every day and gain easy access to your front door. If
this is you, it is time to get
away from of that fouth floor office or hidden alley office and get into the limelight.
- A
new venue makes more sense. Maybe your current
location was ideal for starting
your business, but now it's time to relocate
to a place that is more conducive
for your clients, has more parking, or is simply more upscale.
- You
need space for a new department. An office
relocation might be as obvious
as moving one department of employees into a
new workspace in the same building or complex.
Really, no matter how simple the relocation
might seem, there is a lot to think
about, which is why it is a good idea to find
a professional moving company that can handle your office move from start to finish.
- Disassembling
and Reassembling Furniture: There are not very many
office desks that will go
through a door without being taken apart
(and seriously, would you want to carry it even if it can?).
Taking apart furniture and reassembling it may be time-consuming
and delicate: you have 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 need to be able to start where you left off with it when you're
in your new office. Ahead of hiring
a professional mover, double check that they're able to
maintain the organization and safeguarding
the privacy of the people whose files are being moved.
- Moving
IT Systems:
A few computers is one thing; an entire
network of computers, printers and more is
another. Beyond that, even with a single
tablet, you need to make sure it is properly packaged
and padded to avoid issues in
transit. When you arrive, you want to know
your system can be reinstalled handily and, of
course, correctly.
- Moving
Heavy Equipment: Depending upon what business you are in, you might have big,
oddly shaped pieces of expensive
equipment that need to be moved, too.
How are you planning to move
that thing? How will you secure it? That's what pros can help you
with.
- Keeping
to a Timeline: During the time your office is being
moved, it's not
easy to keep up with work, which is why it is imperative
for an office relocation to happen seamlessly.
