You
and your employees spend at least forty hours a
week in the office, so it should be an area that is functional and congenial.
Your whole business depends
upon what goes on within those cubicles.
Keeping that at the front of your mind, you might be pondering an office relocation. There are a lot of rationales
to do so:
- You
have grown out of your
current office in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Your workers
need a little breathing room! As you expand
and hire more employees, you require additional
office space to have room for them. (Nobody wants to share a desk or go to the break
room only to discover there is no break room.)
- You
want your inventory and office
to be within throwing distance. If you have
a warehouse of inventory, it may be more
productive to have your office nearby so you do not have to have such a drive
from one to the other.
- You
need to boost your visibility. Some businesses benefit
when potential patrons can notice
your sign every day and have easy access to your front door. If
this is you, it is time to relocate
out of that fouth floor office or hidden alley office and get into the mainstream.
- A
new venue makes more sense. Maybe your present
locale was perfect for beginning
your business, but now it is time to upgrade
to an area that is more convenient
for your clients, has more parking, or is simply more upscale.
- You
need an area for a new department. An office
relocation could be as simple
as moving one group of employees into a
new area in the same building or complex.
Still, no matter how straightforward the relocation
might seem, there's a lot to think
about, which is why it's a good idea to find
a professional moving company that can manage your office move from beginning to end.
- Disassembling
and Reassembling Furniture: There aren't very many
office desks that will navigate
through a door as a single piece
(and really, would you want to carry it even if it did?).
Taking apart furniture and putting
it back together may be slow
and delicate: you must 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 a
system, and you should be able to commence where you ended when you're
in your new office. Prior to hiring
a professional mover, it’s best to check that they are capable of maintaining the organization and protecting
the privacy of the people whose files are being relocated.
- Moving
IT Systems:
A couple laptops is one thing; an entire
network of computers, printers and more is
another. Beyond that, even with a single
tablet, you should double check that it is appropriately packaged
and padded to escape damage in
transit. When you settle in at your new
location, you want to feel at ease that
your system can be reinstalled handily and, of
course, correctly.
- Moving
Heavy Equipment: Depending upon your
business, you could have bulky,
oddly shaped pieces of high-priced
equipment that need to be moved, too.
How are you going to move
that item? How will you safeguard it? That's what professionals can help you
with.
- Keeping
to a Timeline: When your office is in transit, it is hard to keep up with work, which is why it is imperative
for an office relocation to happen flawlessly.
