Commercial moves can be very tedious and stressful. To be able to manage it well, you will need to be organised and armed with a well-prepared plan.
Planning the Move
Planning is essential because it will give you purpose and direction. It keeps everything in place, it helps you avoid problems, and it helps prepare you for the whole process.
1. Know your timeline. This is most valuable if you are forced to work in a very tight timeframe. Your move-out date & time as well as your move-in date & time should be pre-plannedshould pre-planned so that your transition is smooth and easy. To ensure that your business and any pending transactions are unaffected by the move, you have to make sure that you time everything well.
2. Be aware of your deadlines. Apart from calendar issues, there will also be deadlines that you need to fulfill. This will include payment of bills, disconnecting utilities and services and handing over the keys to the building owner. Be aware of your deadlines and plot it on your timetable so that things can go smoothly. Moving, in itself, can be costly so you should avoid any unnecessary dues.
3. Keep a journal. A journal may seem excessive but you can just keep it simple. Just so you can keep note of things that you have already accomplished, and so that you can track your progress on a day-to-day basis, it would be handy for you to journal every aspect of the move.
4. Equip yourself with the right packing supplies. Packing systematically and carefully is important because it is easy to lose track of things during a move. Also, many fragile items can be damaged if they are carelessly handled. At the beginning of the packing process, it would be best to already know what you will be packing so that you can get boxes (of the right size and number), packing tape, scissors, labels, markers, ropes, plastic wraps, bubble wraps or any other materials that may be useful whilst packing.
5. Contract a trustworthy moving company. There are a lot of factors to consider when hiring movers. Affordability, quality of service and reputation of the company is important because this will determine the level of satisfaction that you will receive. You want movers who will do a good job of assisting you with the move. Plan the details of the move with the company. Discuss the details of the move with your moving company. Provide them with the addresses, the date of the move and give them an idea of the kind of things thatyou need to be transported.
