How to manage an effective Office Move

The Process of Moving Office can seem like a mammoth task at first. But its just a process, and like any process it can be broken down into a series of tasks. By following these simple steps you can ensure that your office move is on time, on budget and hassle free.

1.  You need to be clear about why you are moving office in order to define your needs and map out the appropriate office move plan. There are a number of items that need to be agreed upon before proceeding with the office move plan, including details of the existing office lease including the notice period and the obligations required by your company as tenants.
2. You need to be clear about your requirements. Understanding your strategic objective and operational requirements upfront is a must for any office move. This will make the entire move process run a lot more smoothly and save time. You need not worry about the technical specifications (as these are usually managed by your IT team or an external vendor). However you must have a clear understanding of what the office move is including: a)Where exactly you are moving to b) How much space you need and if you need to be in by a certain time. c) What are the key features required in your new office? d) Is there a planned growth objective for the business and will this new location satisfy the need for this growth e) What type of lease is needed in the new premises?
3. Build the right team that will assist you in your office move.
