5 Common Mistakes To Avoid When Moving Your Office

Moving is all exciting and fun until you are not prepared for what is ahead. Among thousands of crucial decisions you take for a smooth and stress-free move, hiring reputed movers in Palm Beach is the biggest of all.
 
But, before you do that keep your eyes open to real problems down the road. Prepare for these in advance and get ready for a comfortable move:

1.    Not Planning Enough

You have project deadlines, right? Then why not for proper moving? Make sure your staff knows what projects need to be finished and for how long to put off new projects.  Ideally, put someone in charge of the move who makes sure every employee has their individual deadlines before moving the office.

2.    Not Selecting Right Building

Making the correct choice for the new business location is crucial especially when you are planning to lease. Usually, large buildings have an organized leasing process and property management office. However, such buildings are expensive and have more insurance, security and compliance requirements.
 
Whereas, small buildings don’t really offer these facilities but the best part is that there are minimal security requirements and the price per square foot is lower too.
 
So, be sure to choose the new building based on your business needs and budget. 
 
3.    Packing Improperly

These are here as under:
 
●       Not having enough packing supplies such as boxes and packing tapes. Be sure to only get the quality packing stuff to sustain pressure while moving, loading and unloading. 

●       When you put heavy objects into a large box, they can quickly be weighed down.
 
●       Not having to label the boxes. This can create confusion as you shift to the new location.
​
4.    Moving Without Insurance

Give your costly furniture and equipment an extra level of protection during the relocation by having them insured. Find out from your moving company what type of valuation coverage they offer.
 
Seek a reputed insurance company that covers the costs of any valuables which may be stolen or damaged during the move.
 
Alternatively, buy business insurance that includes in-transit clauses that can protect your prized possessions during critical office move.
 
5.    Moving Everything

Do you need everything in your new office? Certainly, there is no better time for replacing and upgrading things than while relocation. If you don’t want to throw away the old stuff, consider donating to non-profit organizations or schools for a tax credit. 

Having cut down on the office goods and items to be moved saves time, efforts and resources.  And everyone else can focus on settling down in the new office with a new zeal and zest.
 
Lastly, communicate about your move to the company employees, customers, vendors, and  other stakeholders so they are prepared for all the challenges ahead, and contribute for a smooth and hassle-free relocation.
