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 first thing I should have done but wasn't, was to take careful inventory of the space in the office location. Naturally, I had examined the place, but I hadn't actually assessed it. The realtor told me what the measurements were and I assumed that she knew what she was talking about. The problem was that although she was occassionaly 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 far too tight after we received them, and the entire area had to be replanned while the furniture was still coming in.
The following thing I found was that office furniture removals, by professionals, which are planned by the proffessionals at the time of the move, usually end up with things in the wrong order. The desks and tables were packed on the moving van first which would lead to them coming out of the wagon last, which in turn meant that all of the stuff that was intended to come off last, the heavier pieces of furniture needed to be put on the floor to start with. Things that were stacked on the floor interfered with the placement of heavy desks and other enormous furnishings. The small stuff like lamps and other office furniture that go on counters/desks should have been packed first so they could come off the vans last.
Then there had been the issue of the electronic gear. Computers and screens, printers, copiers, telephones and other electronic equipment, and all of the little items which make an office inhabitable by a busy working environment are moderately fragile and need to be specifically wrapped and transported. Just putting them at random on the truck, even thoroughly wrapped up in blankets, can cause damage to frail electronics. This equipment must be the very last thing to be put in the new space, after all, the coarse and tumble of furniture moving is complete to prevent it from competing and potential random breakage. That recommends it's got to be the first thing in the truck.
To summarise, the 4 most important things i have discovered to make moving company and relocations much more simple are office removals:
1. Know the measurements before starting the move so that you can know exactly where things will be placed when you get to the new office.
2. Pack small things into the truck first and the heavy furniture last so that when you get there you can put the shelving and desks in first. That way you have got a place to put the minority of items when it comes in.
3. Keeping electronic apparatus safe by packing it separately. Wrapped in bubble wrap and blankets, then put into plastic containers. Computers, communications gear, shredders, copiers, and so forth will arrive in working order to be set up once the larger stuff are in.
4. And the 4th thing is to hire a company that's content to hear your expectations. So often it's the case that the movers pefer making their selections for you and are not willing to accept the input of the people that need to know what they require.
Plan in advance and the move can be as smooth as possible.
