Local Commercial Movers | Local Office Relocation Services | Business Movers

The major goal in a local commercial move is to plan ahead and make sure you can be up and running as soon as possible. Being time and cost-efficient is the key to a successful move. To increase efficiency, have complete knowledge of the layout of your new commercial location. You can start by creating a floor plan. Decide exactly where the furniture and equipment will be placed and where each employee will be sitting. Once you've created the map, leave a copy at the entrance of your office and on each floor. This will save you a considerable amount of time, money and headaches in the long run. Maintaining an organized commercial local move will keep everyone happy and on track to continue business as usual.

Inform all parties; employees, landlords, and movers, of every detail of the relocation process. Be sure to notify your local commercial mover of where each piece of furniture needs to be placed. If you place color-coded labels on every piece that needs to be moved, the labels could serve as a sign as to where each object belongs. The label should be placed prominently on the package and should easily inform the mover of exactly where the package is to be moved. The contents of desks, bookcases, shelving units, and lateral systems should be removed and packed separately. The contents of pull drawer filing cabinets generally should not be emptied. They should remain in their location, but be kept secure with either a lock or strong packing tape.

Technology
As technology changes the process for moving certain devices becomes more complicated. Certain technological devices may require special attention. If you are renting your equipment, be sure to notify your supplier; failure to do so may result in a nullification of your rental agreement. With computers, disconnection and dismantling services may be required. Empty all liquids from photocopiers and remove extensions that may create difficulties. Empty all items from vending machines.

Waste disposal
In order to facilitate the move for all parties involved be sure to dispose of as much garbage as possible. If your company is fairly large, than you may need to receive permission from local authorities to place big waste containers on the site.

Elevator access
Inspect the new space beforehand and insure the elevators are fully functional, and that your movers will have access to all the floors that they need.
