There are countless items that need to be carefully packed up and moved in preparation for a large-scale office relocation, including filing cabinets, bookcases, and sensitive electronic equipment. If you’re getting ready to move into a new commercial space, then there are several steps that you can take to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here are ways to make the most of your office move:
Be Realistic with Your Timeframe
Even if your business is a 24/7 operation, it’s important to remember that the move could interfere with your normal schedule. Instead of setting unrealistic goals and rushing the moving timeframe, inform clients and business partners that you will be working with limited resources for a short period of time. With all parties involved aware of the complications that the move may cause to conducting business, you can more easily make compromises and schedule alterations.
Plan Ahead to Ensure Availability
When preparing for an office relocation, it’s imperative that you contact your corporate moving company well in advance to ensure that they will be available on the days you require assistance. Keep in mind that most commercial movers are busiest around spring and summer, as well as the first and last days of any month. Err on the side of caution and call several weeks ahead of your moving date.
Purge Old Equipment in the Process
Another way to make the most of your office move is to treat it as an opportunity to dispose of old computers, worn-out office furniture, and any other obsolete items. Most reputable corporate moving companies can assist you with recycling your unwanted furniture and supplies so that you can make room for newer equipment in your new space.

All types of moves can be complicated, but commercial moves are especially stressful. Compared to residential moves, office relocations involve more planning, people, and equipment, but you can avoid the stress if you research the process first. Here is a timeline of the process of relocating a business:
At Least Four Months Before the Move
You need to start planning up to a year but no less than four months before moving day. This is the time to assign a project manager to handle this process for you. Creating a task list will go a long way towards minimizing stress later on—if you stay organized, the move itself will be much easier.
Two to Four Months Before the Move
By now you should have identified the key members of the moving task force and they should have created a plan for the move. This plan should include all necessary arrangements to both empty the old office and to get the new office set up and running as fast as possible. IT services should also be involved in the planning process by this point, as they can advise you on the best places to set up computers, Internet routers, and wiring.
One to Two Months Before the Move
By this time, IT and vendor relocation plans should be set, as should change-of-address notifications with your vendors, utility contractors, and insurance provider. You should also have finalized the new office’s layout.
The Weeks Before the Move
This is the point where planning becomes action. Packing should begin; phone numbers, parking spaces, and keys should be assigned; and everyone should know exactly what their role is in the move. If you’ve done everything right up to this point, your commercial move should be smooth and stress-free.
