When it comes to relocating your office, it’s very easy to misjudge the task. After all, construction and renovation takes a great deal of time and planning; at a glance, the office furniture installation service should be a breeze, right?
Well…
Relative to construction, office furniture installation could be considered easier, but this is a bit of a double-edged sword; since preparing the space for a move can seem so daunting, that makes it extremely easy to overlook and under-plan the actual relocation.
As a professional office furniture installation service, we want to help make sure your transition is as smooth as possible. Try to avoid these three common mistakes made when relocating your office.
Moving stuff from point A to point B is often much easier said than done, particularly if you have your staff involved in the moving and installation of your office furniture. You need to be sure that each involved staff member knows precisely what their role is to make sure that nothing is left behind, and that they don’t accidentally cause damage to the furniture or themselves by attempting to move something that they shouldn’t.
You also want to make sure that everyone involved in the move has access to a floorplan of the new space.Moving things into the wrong places or in the wrong order can create a major log jam in the process, and end up delaying the entire move as objects are shifted around and re-ordered.
The worst thing that you can do is to save a move for the last minute, or to simply attempt to move ‘on the fly’. A move is disruptive by nature; and if your office furniture installation doesn’t go smoothly your workers will be unable to access their workspaces, so every moment in which you move, you’re depriving them of productivity.
Always give yourself enough elbow room to plan your moves for the least disruptive times possible, trying to line it up with company down times if possible. You may also want to consider booking a move during off-hours or over a weekend.
At Choice Office Installation Services, our job is to make your move as quick and efficient as possible. We’re quick, efficient, and experienced, minimizing time required, reducing the risk of damaging your furniture in transit, and eliminating the liability risks associated with having unqualified staff moving heavy or awkward office furniture.
We know how to keep to a tight deadline, have the tools needed to disassemble and reassemble large furniture quickly and properly. We can say with confidence that our professional office furniture installation service will save you a considerable amount of money in lost productivity compared to a do-it-yourself approach.
We can also help you come up with a plan, making sure that your move and installation is as un-intrusive as it can be, and making sure that not time is wasted by moving things out of order, or into the wrong spaces.
We can be (and often are) called in as damage control as well, helping overwhelmed managers whose moves have gone sideways due to poor planning—though we certainly recommend that you call us sooner rather than later.
If you’re planning a move, make sure it’s done right. Call us today.
