Choosing Office Moving Services: 5 Things to Keep in Mind

The benefits of moving your office or corporate headquarters can be endless. For example, moving may help you attract new talent, enhance your brand, lower your overhead, or simplify travel for everyone in your organization.  

Relocation is a significant investment of time, money, and resources. It's not a decision any leader should take lightly.

The best option when relocating is to hire a professional office moving company.

To choose the right mover, keep these factors in mind.

1. Your Office Relocation Needs

It takes specialized skills to plan an office move. Your employees can help pack office supplies, files, and some equipment, but you will lose valuable production time if you rely solely on them. 

Consider hiring an office moving company that can assist with the following:

• Project planning and management services

• Packing services

• Installing and reconfiguring office furniture

• Additional storage options

In addition to these essential services, most office moving companies offer supplementary, more specialized services, depending on your business size.

2. Additional Comprehensive Services

Plan your office move by finding a professional commercial mover that provides all your moving needs with comprehensive services:

• IT disconnects and reconnect

• Electronics and server relocation

• Crating and packing

• Recycling and disposal of old office equipment

• Post-move support

Having one company handle every aspect of your office move is more efficient and streamlined.

3. Credentials and Experience 

Research the company's background before selecting office movers. Here are some questions to ask:

• Is their office moving experience extensive?

• Are they licensed and insured?

• Are they accredited?

When relocating an office — small or large, it’s ideal working with a moving company specializing in office moves.

4. Ratings and Recommendations

When selecting a moving company for your office relocation, you should consider references and reviews. You can search online for reviews, ask your colleagues for recommendations, or contact local moving companies for references.

Reviews can give you a good idea of what it is like to work with a company before you hire them.

Rather than focusing on a few negative reviews, focus on whether the moving company addressed the complaint and resolved the issue.

5. Transparent Pricing Policy

To determine the overall cost of your relocation, you will need to compile a shortlist of moving companies that meet your criteria and ask them to provide a detailed quote. 

Considering all aspects of a moving quote is essential. However, the cheapest quote might exclude some things, resulting in additional costs on the day of the move.

You should clarify any terms and conditions you are unsure about.
