Whether you have organised an office move before, or this is your first time, there will be some steps you need to take to plan a successful office move from start to finish.

Office Move Planning

The planning stage is the most important part of the moving office process. This is where the motivation (s) behind the business relocation is established, key dates are identified and budgets are set; and all this information will help to define your new office space requirements and ensure your move happens on time and to budget.

Use the FREE Office Move Project Planning template to find out what key tasks you need to consider at the planning stage to help achieve a smooth outcome. 

Office Move Strategy

Decide who, within your organisation, is going to be responsible for planning the office move, and ensure that all key decision makers are agreed as to the office move objectives, budget and timeframe. 

Office Move Brief

The suitability and success of your new office will be driven by how clear and thorough your brief is to your Property Agent.  Consider current and projected employee headcount, office facilities, location and rental costs and discuss your office space requirements in detail with your Property Agent.

Office Move Communication Plan

Your ability to communicate the office move to staff and clients will help make the transfer to the new office as seamless and smooth as possible.  Staff need to be regularly communicated with about the new office details and how the office move is going to affect them. Equally important is informing clients and business partners when the move is happening and how it will improve business and service standards.

Delegate responsibility amongst your staff to make the move is as efficient as possible and more importantly, fun.
