Moving from one office space to another can be challenging. The good news is that wherever you are in the country, there are many relocation companies in your area that can lend a helping hand; but, here comes the bad news, not all of them understand your situation or have experience in handling your needs.
Not to mention that given the sheer number of relocation companies, it can make it hard to find the best one, but here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it.
1. Understand what you need
No two office relocation projects are the same. Every company has its own, unique objectives; every employee within a business has their own unique needs.
Take a moment to think about what it is exactly that you need. What kind of professional services are you looking for? Do you need professional packing for your valuable items? As soon as you define your needs and specify your requirements, you can start looking for the type of relocation company that’s best for you.
2. Start doing some research
The one and only truth when choosing an office relocation specialist is research, research, and more research. It goes a long way towards ensuring that your prized possessions fall into the hands of experienced companies that will make sure your office move is handled the best possible way from start to finish.
Before you pick up the phone and start calling every relocation company in your area, do your homework. Read up on reviews for their credibility and ask for testimonials from previous clients.
In addition to taking a long look at online reviews for moving companies in your area, one of the other good ways to narrow down your search is by speaking to your friends, family, and co-workers who have hired a relocation company in the past. Ask them for recommendations and you will soon gather a list of trustworthy relocators.
3. Consider the costs
You should consider the costs of various specialists and what their quotes cover in order to avoid overspending, or worse, getting charged additional fees on your moving day – because often, quotes that look inexpensive may cost you more at the end.
The quotes you get from relocation companies should include the type and quantity of items you’re moving as well as optional insurance to protect these items, the distance of the move, delivery dates, as well as any additional services you’ve requested. A reliable and credible relocation company will help you make sure that the quote is accurate so you won’t end up paying more than you should.
4. Compare like with like
Now that you have spoken to all your shortlisted specialists, it’s time to compare their prices, services, and availability.
While we can understand that price is an important component of any relocation project, it’s also paramount that you choose the company that best fits your service requirements, not just your budget. Be sure to take into account the specialised service a company offers and the number of years they’ve been doing it to avoid paying for cheap relocators who don’t know what they’re doing.
5. Make a decision
All that’s left to do is to make a decision!
Hiring the right office relocation company will not only take the stress out of the process, but it will also protect your business’s assets and make sure everything arrives safely at your new commercial property.
