Moving from one location to another is a daunting task to anyone who has ever done it, even with a good Removal Companies. I know that the first time I had to move myself and my company to new offices I thought the process would never be completed on time because I just hadn't organized it properly. Things got there in the wrong order and once everything was in its new home I had no idea where to put them. A little pre-planning could have taken a lot of the hassle out of the project.
The very first thing I should have done but wasn't, was to take careful inventory of the space in the office location. Naturally, I had inspected the place, but I hadn't really assessed it. The realtor told me what the measurements were and I just assumed that she knew what she was talking about. The problem was that while she was sometimes right. My assumptions proved me wrong when I attempted to position a desk where I had planned to position it. The book shelves and filing cupboards were put with the desk which made the space way too tight after we received them, and the entire area needed to be replanned whilst the furniture was still coming in.
The very next thing I found was that office furniture removals, by professionals, which are planned by the proffessionals at the time of the move, usually finish up with things in the wrong order. The more heavier items were packed on the moving van first which would lead to them coming out of the van last, which in turn meant that all of the stuff that was intended to come off last, the large pieces of furniture wanted to be put on the floor to begin with. Things that were stacked on the floor interfered with the placement of heavy desks and other large furniture. The small stuff like lamps and other office furnishings that go on counters/desks should have been packed first so they could have come off the trucks last.
Then there was the difficulty of the electronic gear. Computers and screens, printers, copiers, phones and other electronic equipment, and all of the small items which make an office inhabitable by a busy working environment are fairly frail and need to be specifically wrapped and transported. Just placing them at random into the van, even thoroughly wrapped up in blankets, can result in damage to frail electronics. This apparatus must be the final thing to be put in the new space, after all, of the coarse and tumble of furniture moving is complete to prevent it from competing and potential accidental breakage. That recommends it's got to be the very first thing in the truck.
To sum up, the four most vital things i have discovered to make moving company and relocations much more simple are office removals:
1. Know the measurements before you start the move so that you can know exactly where things will be placed when you get to the new office.
2. Pack small items into the wagon first and the heavy furniture last so that when you get there you can put the shelves and desks in first. That way you have got a place to put the minority of stuff when it comes in.
3. Keeping electronic equipment safe by packing it separately. Wrapped in bubble wrap and blankets, then put into cardboard boxes. Computers, communications gear, shredders, copiers, and so forth will arrive in working order to be set up after the larger items are in.
4. And the 4th thing is to hire a company that's willing to hear your needs. So often it's the case the movers make their decisions for you and are not willing to accept the input of the people that need to know what they need.
Plan ahead and the move can be as smooth as possible.
