Moving Office Furniture

Congratulations on your new office space! Whether you have just bought your own office or rented a larger one closer to the subway, it is no big deal. The dream has finally come true! Your team is excited, packing up, and getting ready to move. But amidst the excitement, there are concerns about transporting all the furniture and equipment. Maybe you have assigned this task to the most responsible employee on your team? Here is a step-by-step guide to make the process smoother:

1. Determine whether you will use your own resources for the move or hire a professional moving company. If budget permits, hiring professionals can be a huge relief. They will manage every stage of the move, from preparation to setup in the new space. This is especially valuable if you are short on time and need to delegate the entire process.
2. If you have chosen to hire movers, you will still need to be involved. Begin by decluttering – decide what should stay and what can be left behind. If you are handling the move yourself, start sourcing transportation and moving supplies.
3. Ensure that all items are packed in properly labeled boxes. Order enough boxes (moving companies often provide these) and start packing. Employees should pack their personal items, but make sure everything is clearly labeled and sorted.
4. If you are moving office furniture, disassembling items can help save space and reduce costs. Professional movers can handle this task to prevent damage and expedite the process. Disassemble everything that can be taken apart. Disassembling furniture saves space during transportation, which can reduce cost. It is also important to keep track of all parts and fittings – labeling these will prevent any loss. Drawers and cabinets should be removed or securely taped to ensure they remain intact during transportation.
5. When dismantling office equipment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If the moving company is handling this, verify the equipment’s condition before and after the move.

Pro Tip from our company: To keep track of everything, number all boxes and create a summary table detailing the contents of each one.

For easier assembly and disassembly, consider using eccentric bolts, which allow for multiple setups without marring appearance.
