Corporate Shifting

Relocating an office is about far more than moving furniture to a new location. The relocation process involves coordinating between employees, safeguarding electronic devices and organizing business operations that cannot halt just because of a few days' move.

That is what distinguishes Corporate Shifting Services from any other kind of office relocation service.

The first question that most business owners and administration teams ask is, "How soon can we get back to work?" It is a reasonable question.

Corporate relocation requires the movement of workstations, computers, printers, servers, files, conference tables, chairs, storage units and more. All these items are to be packed differently. Special care is needed in moving sensitive electronic devices and proper labelling of files will enable your employees to find them in the new location.

Corporate Shifting Services may include:

• Office furniture relocation
• Computer and peripheral relocation
• Document and file movement
• Workstation dismantling assistance
• Equipment relocation
• Department-wise labelling
• Loading and unloading
• Placement and selected reassembly

This is a list of some of the services offered; the actual scope of work will be decided as per your business requirements.

Why is Corporate Relocation Special?

Moving house can be planned around your family schedule; an office move involves more people and more factors to consider.

Permissions from building authorities, lift times, parking, loading zones, security procedures, etc. may differ between old and new offices. For instance, a business may have access to movers only after working hours, while some may prefer to move on a weekend. And that is why advance planning saves time.

Moving three departments from one office to another of an IT company requires a carefully timed move to ensure that no operations are disturbed until every department is ready for the move.

Similarly, files and workstations will have to be labelled department wise, floor wise or by employee so that they can be organized easily in the new office.

How Does the Office Move Process Take Place?

First, the existing office will be surveyed by our team in order to assess the volume of office furniture and electronics to be relocated. Access will also be determined as part of the pre-planning.

Once the requirements have been assessed, the plan and the quotation for your office relocation will be discussed. You will have to decide the best time for your office packing based on your working hours. While some businesses will prefer to pack their office in evenings, some will request for weekend shifting.

During the move, electronics, furniture and other items will be transported in the order agreed upon earlier. They will be properly loaded, moved to the new location and placed as per the labelling procedure. In case of large offices, your relocation process can be planned in phases. A little planning can go a long way in making Monday morning smoother for you.

Office electronics require special care during relocation. Monitors, CPUs, printers, networking equipment and other electronic devices should not be packed alongside ordinary office supplies.

Use of appropriate cushioning material and packing in organized boxes will prevent any unnecessary movement of items during transport.

Documents need organization too. It will not help to mark a carton "Files". Instead, labelling it with department name, floor number or internal references will make it easy to identify in the new office.

Furniture will pose yet another challenge. Conference tables, storage cabinets and workstations will need to be dismantled before being moved. All these details can make or break a corporate move.

There is no standard rate for Corporate Shifting Services. Every office is different and has varying volumes.

The quotation will depend on the size of the office, number of workstations, volume of equipment, packing requirements, distance, floors, lift access, manpower and the time you prefer for relocation.

A regular working day move of your office will have different requirements from an office requiring overnight or weekend shifting.

While the professional corporate relocation is an investment, having your employees move your office furniture and equipment will bring its own set of problems, especially when you need to resume your business as soon as possible.

"We moved our office over a weekend since we did not want to disrupt client work. The team moved as per the schedule and the workstations were in place before Monday."
