IN FACT, CREATE A FULL TIMELINE TE A FULL TIMELINE FOR YOUR MOVE
Create a timeline with your employees and moving company. Detail each step of packing, cleaning, throwing away junk, setting up the new office, and the final move. This is how you have the most effective move that doesn’t cut into anyone’s work productivity. You should choose a time that can work for each employee’s work schedule, with minimal disruption. Include it at every stage of the move but make sure it is realistic and feasible to complete in the allotted time. This will help employees plan projects and meetings around the actual move. The bigger your office, the longer you will need to prepare. To be successful, stay ahead of this as in every other part of the real estate process. Creating this timeline includes planning the exact day and time the company will move. The summer is usually the most popular time to move. Most companies move during a weekend or after office hours due to restrictions in a building. If you have no restrictions, moving on a weekday is an option and most of your staff could work from home. The off-season for moving is late September through April and should be a bit cheaper. Also, be sure to stay clear of the holidays as they will be much more expensive and it will be tougher to find help. However, the move is dictated by a lease ending so this part is only applicable if you have the luxury of choosing.
