Create the right office relocation project plan
A thorough office relocation project plan will set you off in the right direction
If your company is considering an office relocation you will need to plan out the key moving tasks and events that will lead you to your goal – that of a new workplace.
It’s a lot to organise and it can be difficult knowing where to start, but deciding upon the main issues to address will help to put some structure in place and will prioritise your moving office tasks.
Ideally you will need to choose a project manager within your company to oversee the office relocation process from tying up loose ends in your old office to settling into the new one. They will co-ordinate the office move, delegate office relocation tasks, create an office moving budget and assemble the right moving professionals.
Assess your office relocation needs and familiarise yourself with your goals – are you changing your staffing needs? What sized offices do you require? What type of office lease are you looking to take up? Discussing these matters with your commercial property consultant will make this task much easier. Talk to your property solicitor as well and have them explain the legal documents and processes that will need to occur in order to move offices. Contact your office fit-out specialists and get possible design ideas for your new office space. Next, you will need to arrange your office removals company and your IT and telecoms company to carry out the relocation of your IT equipment.
Finally, communicating with your staff throughout the office move is vital and with a carefully considered office relocation project plan you can clearly outline your moving objectives.
