Moving is a huge undertaking whether it is a home or office. It is also becoming increasingly popular in the industry to move more eco friendly than in the past. Like moving house when it comes to office relocation, similar planning needs to be adhered. It is a good idea to nominate a few movers rather than leaving for everyone to help. The appointed staff members in charge of the move should put together a moving checklist and stick to it. If you have everyone helping it can end up with some tasks getting done repeatedly and possibly others not getting done at all. Careful planning is essential in any removal. Plan as early as is possible. Make sure that your move is to be a green as is possible and then that will encourage staff to be aware of the situation.
Make a list of everything that needs to be covered, such as clearing clutter to minimize what you are moving. Then inform all contacts of the move and the new address, and change address. Redirecting the post is essential for those you may forget about. Using the internet can save time on a busy phone line and save some money. Luckily in today’s modern electronic world it does cut down on paper bills and filing paperwork as it can all be stored on computer systems safely.
Just ensure you keep a regular back up of your files to ensure if there is any electronic failure you have it stored on another device.
Consider you removal services options. There is the packing and delivery to do, this depends on individual circumstances and how big the load I that you are moving. Luckily there is a wide choice of moving removal services that range from the entire job being sorted by the professional removals or you opting to hire a moving van and do it yourself. All of these factors simply depend on size, time and budget. It is a good idea to inform all employees of the move and together discuss the event. Then when a plan of action is in place make sure everyone knows the whole procedure.
For starters if you have unwanted stock, broken equipment and furniture it needs to be thrown away. Hiring a professional clearance company may be a good idea as they have special recycling facilities to reuse the things that are broken or unwanted. Or if something is in good working order, but you simply just don’t use it sell it or give it away. Having the least amount to move is going to reduce the size of the vehicle and also how much pacing supplies you will need. If you hire professional office removals ask for a green service and they will supply reusable crates in various sizes to suit your needs.
Also you can get recycled foam pieces to protect valuable equipment.
You can also save any packaging that you might have to protect fragile items in the boxes. If you have cardboard boxes use them again. Eco friendly is all about making use of the things you have so don’t waste the opportunity and make use of it again and again. Make sure whatever transport you choose to move your belongings is the correct size. Having surplus space will mean wasted fuel consumption. Most new removal vans and trucks are all more fuel efficient than previously and manufacturers design them in this way. Finally, try to get it all delivered on one trip to save on fuel. Unpack and keep any boxes for storing stock.
