How to coordinate moving furniture during an office move

One of the biggest challenges an organization could face during an office relocation is the logistics surrounding moving office furniture. It doesn’t have to be a challenge but furniture is obviously the biggest part of your office relocation.

That can include desks, cubicle arrangements, conference room furniture and other bulky items.

Here are a number of ways from our office relocation experts here in Boston to make moving furniture to your new office much less stressful.

Develop a detailed list of what’s going to the new office

Your organization must decide what type of furniture is traveling with you on your new office relocation. It’s important to make a detailed list and logistics plan for moving that furniture to the new office. If you’ve decided to replace office furniture, you’ll need that plan to ensure you’ve left nothing out.

Coordinate with your IT professionals

Every desk, workstation and even conference room has technology associated with it. Moving furniture means you are moving technology. Make sure during your office relocation that you involve IT staff or an outside IT consultant every step of the way.

Research furniture donation options

If you have decided to purchase new furniture for your new office, make sure you work with your moving company to research all your options for decommissioning the existing office. Your office relocation specialists can coordinate the logistics of an office decommission.

And speaking of professional moving companies….

Hire professional office relocation movers

We’ll just say this flat out. Trying to move your office on your own or having your employees help you move the office will only have you experiencing regret. Office furniture is heavy, it’s bulky and the last thing you want to do have anyone on your team get injured. Furthermore, if you’re concerned at all about productivity, one of the smartest decisions you can make is hiring office relocation professionals.
