The Four Pillars of Relocation

To move efficiently, you must address these critical areas before the first truck arrives.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Coordination

Assign a dedicated Move Coordinator to manage vendor timelines and act as the central point of communication for your staff.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

IT Infrastructure

Your technology is your lifeblood. Plan for server de-installation, internet circuit activation, and data security during transit.

๐Ÿงน

Purge & Shred

Moving is the perfect time to audit your assets. Shred outdated documents and liquidate unused furniture to reduce moving costs.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

The Label System

Utilize a color-coded labeling system to ensure every piece of equipment lands exactly where it is supposed to in the new floor plan.

Expert Moving Advice

Insights to help you navigate the complexities of office moves.

How should we handle employee personal items?

+
We recommend that employees take small personal items, plants, and valuables home themselves. Moving crews should primarily handle professional assets and equipment.

What is the most common IT mistake?

+
Failing to order internet and phone circuits early enough. Circuits often require a 60-90 day lead time for installation at a new facility.

Do we need building protection?

+
Yes. Most commercial property managers require floor and wall protection (masonite and corner guards) during the move to prevent damage to common areas.
