Moving Office Furniture Made Easy

By Ian MacOlive


Depending upon the size of your business office moving can be a trying experience for which you will need the services of a reputable and professional furniture removals company. Your choice of which company to hire to handle your office moving needs will depend largely upon the distance you are moving i.e. whether nationally or internationally.

For your moving experience to go off without a hitch you need to ensure that you have hired a professional furniture removals company that is equipped to handle the job. When you have found such a company you will have the peace of mind knowing that your office moving needs will be met whether you require cubicles to be replaced or have your furniture arranged in a way that you require, along with the actual transporting of your goods.

The best way to begin looking for furniture removals companies is to search the web for companies with the office moving experience you need to make your move go right. When you talk to the company, you should ask for them to come to your office to give you an estimate for the move, including the cost of labor, materials and anything else which may add to the total cost of the project. Ask all of the questions you need when they visit your offices, since the better informed you are, the better your move will go.

It is during this visit that you will be given the opportunity to discuss the date and time of the move and whether or not the company in question is able to fit you into their schedule. Remember that depending upon the rules and regulations governing the office building you currently occupy and the one to which you are moving, your move might have to be carried out over the weekend to avoid disruption and disturbances. You will need to make sure that the furniture removals company you hire will be able to accommodate your needs whether you will be moving during the working week or over the weekend.

Packing up office supplies and other small items will have to be done and for this, large bins work well. They protect the items and can be quickly and easily stacked on a moving truck for loading. You could choose to pay extra to have your movers do this for you or you may want to have your own employees pack up all of the small items which will need to be moved ahead of time.

You will also need to label your office furniture to indicate which items go together. This will help prevent furniture from being misplaced during the move or during unloading as well as make setting up your office furniture in your new location quicker and easier.

Office moving is something that needs to be carefully planned and there are a lot of things to think about before the move happens. Among other things, you will need to know the height and weight of the moving trucks so that you will know if they will be able to get into the parking garage of your new office building. Some parking facilities cannot accommodate vehicles which are over a certain height or weight limit, so if this is a concern at your current location or your new one, you need to let the furniture removals company know this as soon as possible to ensure that arrangements can be made to deal with the situation.
