How to Create an Office Moving Checklist

Moving an office from one location to another may seem like an overwhelming burden. There are many things to consider before packing up and leaving. It is important to create a checklist so multiple to-do steps are remembered. By following a checklist the chance of forgetting things that need to be done is minimized.

• Decide between hiring movers to transport all items from one office to other or completing the task within the company. When a company is hired to move the belongings it is important to learn the prices that will be charged to the business.


• Call any utilities that are being used in the office. If gas and electric are currently ran to the office then it is important to let these places know of the office relocation so the bills are not still charged at and sent to the current office address, and that they are turned on at the new address.


• Advertise the relocation of the office. Any customers or clients of the office need to be made aware of the moving so that they know where to go to and mail any necessary items from now on.


• Contact the phone and Internet company and transfer the services to the new location. If calling is far enough in advance then the phone and Internet company will be able to schedule a reconnection appointment the day that the office is moved to the new location, minimizing any time that clients will not be able to reach the business.


• Price the services of sign builders for a new sign. This sign will be placed outside of the new office building, allowing clients and potential clients the chance to read the office building information and know what office is now there.
