Office Moving - Large Projects - Moving Fortune 500 Companies - Office Moving Tips and Hints

Do you have a large project? Moving a large corporation or an office can prove to be a difficult task indeed. There are a lot of various factors that go into the project management of a large corporate move.At Buehler Companies, we understand that details are everything when moving a fortune 500 company from one office building to another.Here are some hints and tips to make your office move more cost effective, organized and run a lot more efficient.

Office Moving Tips

• Instead of using room numbers, number the rooms at the final destination 1, 2, 3, 4, etc… and assign the “move” numbers to each person. This makes things a lot easier when the moving company is placing items in your new office. 1, 2, 3, 4 is a lot easier to work with than names or large room numbers.

• Make sure your employees are on track. Communication is the key. Reminders of when boxes will be delivered or when they should start packing, when the movers are set to arrive, etc…. all of the details are important to keeping everyone on track with the move.

• Have a move meeting to talk and discuss various aspects of the move. This also gives your employees a chance to ask questions and get answers to some of their concerns.

• Create welcome packets for the employees for their new desks. Moving isn’t just hard on the corporation, it’s hard on the employees as well. It’s not easy to start at a new desk with new surroundings.

• Assign move teams to pack the common areas and closets. By dividing the workload, everyone packs less and it’s a lot less work for the entire company.

• Have the moving company come a couple of hours early so that they can begin laying floor and wall protection down to protect the office. Damages can cost your company a lot more than paying the moving company to come in a little early.

• Ask your moving company if they can provide a project management webpage for you. At Buehler Companies, we will build an entire webpage dedicated to your move. This keeps everyone on track and educates your employees on how to pack specific items.
