You
and your employees put in at least forty hours a
week in your office, so it has to be an
environment that is functional and pleasant.
Your entire livelihood is contingent
upon what happens within those walls.
Keeping that at the front of your mind, you might be pondering an office relocation. There are a lot of reasons
to do so:
- You've gotten too big for your
current office in Oklahoma City. Your workers
need a little space! As you expand
and hire more employees, you want more
office space to accommodate 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 inventory and office
to be close together. If you have
a warehouse of inventory, it may be desirable to locate your office closeby so you do not have to make such a commute.
- You
want to boost your visibility. Some businesses profit
when potential patrons can notice
your sign every day and gain easy access to your front door. If
this is you, it's time to move
away from of that fouth floor office or hidden alley office and get into the mainstream.
- A
different location makes more sense. Maybe your current
location was wonderful for opening
your business, but now it is time to relocate
to a venue that's more conducive
for your clients, has more parking, or is simply more luxurious.
- You
need room for a new department. An office
relocation could be as simple
as moving one group of employees into a
new workspace in the same building or complex.
Still, no matter how easy the move
might seem, there's a lot to ponder, which is why it is a good idea to seek out
a professional moving company that can handle your office move from Point A to Point B.
- Disassembling
and Reassembling Furniture: There aren't very many
office desks that will fit
through a door in one piece
(and really, would you want to carry it even if it can?).
Disassembling furniture and reassembling it can be tedious
and delicate: you must take
care not to lose a single screw! You and your
employees can find a better use of your time.
- Moving
Records and Files: You have a filing system, and you need to be able to commence where you stopped when you're
in your new office. Prior to hiring
a moving company, double check that they're capable of maintaining the organization and conserving
the privacy of the people whose files are being moved.
- Moving
IT Systems:
A couple laptops is one thing; an entire
network of computers, printers and desk phones is
another. Besides, even with a single
tablet, you want to make sure it is correctly packaged
and padded to escape issues in
transit. When you get to your new office, you want to rest assured that
your system can be reinstalled efficiently and, of
course, correctly.
- Moving
Heavy Equipment: Depending upon your
business, you may have bulky,
oddly shaped pieces of costly
equipment that need to be relocated, too.
How are you planning to move
that item? How will you safeguard it? That's what pros can help you
with.
- Keeping
to a Timeline: While your office is being relocated, it's not
easy to keep up with work, which is why it's imperative
for an office relocation to happen seamlessly.
