Create a Moving Office Budget & Stick to it!
How to prepare & control a realistic moving office budget that will keep your moving office costs well under control.
The first step to creating a realistic Moving Office Budget is to identify all the costs associated with moving office. Get quotes for anything you will need to outsource and put an approximate figure against the item using our handy Moving Office Budget Template.
Decide your budget limitations early on in the moving office process, and make a list of priorities and prepare your budget accordingly. For some companies, they will need to invest heavily on new a new business phone system but for others investing in an office in a prime central location is a crucial objective.
Keep your Moving Office Budget updated on a weekly (if not daily) basis and identify variances from your original quotes – both positive and negative. A negative variance means you have spent more than you planned – so you will need to look hard at how this will affect your overall budget. A positive variance will mean you have underspent. Suggest corrective action to bring your moving office budget back into line. If you have overspent on legal fees for instance you may need to cut back on aspirations for office design or purchasing new technology.
If you have to re-forecast your office move budget, tell all the budget stakeholders early on so that decisions can be agreed quickly.
