office-removal-mistakes-avoid

Are you in charge of office removal? You will know first-hand how complex the job is. You will not only have to arrange the transport for your office furniture, but you also have to coordinate with the staff and try to resolve the dispute among the staff, ensuring disruption as less as possible. In this content, we will show you how to get the office relocation done with ease. Before that, you must know a few mistakes to avoid to have a pain-free move.

1) Lack of proper planning

In case of a home removal, you know how to organise yourself. But, when it comes to office moving, it will turn into a completely other ball game to plan ahead. So, chalk out what is the moving budget you have or what is the timeline. Is there anything that may not fit the new office space? Or how to transport IT equipment.

2) Not giving the staff enough notice

Staff may not like the change in location, and the worst part you can do is drop office relocation on them without giving enough time to prepare. Well, this is complete NO-NO, and you should let your staff know the shifting location as soon as possible. Even, you can keep them encouraging about the new place and nearby facilities they can get.

3) No realistic timeline

Quite often, the people underestimate how much time they need to relocate their office. In most cases, we found that business owners failed to meet the original timeline. What our Broadbeach removals and Varsity Lakes removals specialists suggest is give yourself at least 6 months of time to execute your move.

4) No professional assistance

When it comes to organising an office move, booking a professional service is important as soon as you propose a moving date. If you leave it for later, it will be difficult to keep the coordination. Even, you may lack proper equipment and tools to move, load and unload the items. However, we specialise in transporting the confidential material that takes care of filing cabinets and computers.

5) Trying to move everything to new office space

Moving is a huge deal for businesses. Till the time you will be relocating the setup, the work processes may remain paused. You can call this period as downtime for your business. We have seen many business owners trying to relocate everything while getting through the rush of moving projects at the same time. It’s better to consult with movers as well as staffs to clear the clutter or unnecessary items. You may find the opportunity to upgrade your office equipment during this phase.

6) Rushing things to complete it quickly

When planning an office move, it is very easy to rush into things and get it done quickly. This doesn’t help. This mostly happens when you decide to move at the last-minute.

Furthermore, when you rush your office you often compromise these aspects:

  • Items getting misplaced, damaged or even broken
  • Disorganised packing or incorrect labelling on boxes
  • Overlooking logistic necessities promises
  • And winding up with disreputed moving companies having a stained customer reputation
  • Our local/interstate removalists in the Gold Coast region will prevent all this from happening, provided you book them a few days ahead of your move schedule. We would not want to rush into anything- especially in something so crucial as an office relocation

Our experts will come to your office and arrange everything properly and safety into appropriate storage boxes and labels. They will pack everything bit by bit so that on move day, everything handles out seamlessly.

7) Failing to recognise complications surrounding IT equipment

Moving computers, servers and other key IT equipment are complicated operations. And so, its best carried out with trained professionals with heaps of moving experience.

Our skilled removalists will disconnect, pack and transport every IT equipment safety, and on reaching the new location even assist your team to unpack it and reinstall it right!

8) Not taking necessary precautions to prevent injuries

One of the biggest hazards of office relocation is employee injury. When lifting and moving heavy boxes- there is always the chance of tripping or sustaining a back injury.

With us around; you don’t need to put yourself, and your employees at such high risk. Every relocation comes with its own set of complexities, and potential injuries exist in every one of them.

So keeping this in mind, our Gold Coast removalists will wear gloves with grips, safety glasses, hard hats and even being other key tools like stepladders and packing essentials to pack everything efficaciously without causing injury to anyone.

9) Not paying attention to public liability insurance

Another precious aspect that most office owners forget is properly checking if their movers have public liability insurance or not!

Protecting your office belongings is crucial when being on the move, and only a top-rated moving company with a good customer satisfaction record can provide that.

Lucky for you, “Richards Gold Coast Removals”, promises to safeguard all your important office assets with our public liability insurance coverage regardless of the transportation distance.

10) Underestimating the number of items to be relocated

Many office owners underestimate the number of items that they look to relocate. This includes the number of trucks, packaging boxes or manpower needed.

We request you not to make this mistake and access your relocation requirements well ahead of your MOVE DAY. Our experts will be more than happy to listen and provide everything you want. Plus, they will even provide you with some noteworthy tips to make your office move more flawless.

So, there you have it- some of the biggest office relocation mistakes to avoid. Get in touch with our experts and convey your relocation needs, location and date.

I was deeply impressed by Pat's thorough & kind communication style when I made some inquiries. I had never experienced such friendly & informative responses from any other removalist companies I contacted before. On the day, Pat's guys arrived right on time. Te & the team did an amazing job for me. They were all very courteous and brilliantly fast & smart. I have hired many removalists before and experienced them stretching out time, damaging my furniture, and stopping work & smoking cigarettes for ages when I wasn't on-site. Pat's guys Te & the team worked incredibly hard and got the job done very well in half the time other companies' guys would have. I can highly recommend Richards Removals. Richards would tremendously reduce the enormous stress & hassle of your relocating. Pat, Te & the team, thank you very much!!

I would highly recommend using Richards, they moved me from my home into a storage unit. The two young men completed the move without an issue and in very efficient time. Ash and Jake were very personable and polite. I am using Richards again to move from the storage unit to the new house and have requested these two young gentlemen do the move. I was asked by a neighbour could I recommend someone for their move in January so I of course said Richards.
