Out of all of the tips we're sharing, this is the most vital one that you cannot ignore. A good time to start planning the move would be four to six months before the moving day itself. When the move affects your whole company, you don't want to leave anything for the very last minute. This could throw off scheduling and severely inconvenience your team members, throwing a damper on the workplace environment on what is otherwise a very exciting transformation for the company.

During this moving period, documents will be your best friend. You'd most likely want to create a timeline to track your progress, which also allows you to set benchmarks for you to know whether you're ahead or behind time. Additionally, you could also create an itemized list of tasks to complete, so that there is always a point of reference to come back to.

A good part of being in an organization is how, unlike residential moving, you don't have to deal with it all by yourself. You could enlist the help of a project manager to help oversee the transition. This is especially helpful when your company is on the larger end, with multiple departments to communicate your moving plans to. Not only does this allow logistics to be seamless, but you can also ensure that your employees are kept in the know.

It's not only your staff that need to know about the company moving to a new office. It's also a transition that external parties should learn about as well. For example, an office relocation announcement would be a great way to revitalize your relationship with your clients and business contacts. They'll know that your company is progressing, and where to find your new headquarters, which can lead to more opportunities to work together. Also, it would be embarrassing to have a new partnership be jeopardized due to outdated information, so do remember to update your address on your website, business cards, etc.

When hiring a moving company, you should make sure that you do your research in advance! Ensure that you hire a reliable, professional commercial moving company early because office relocation is a much larger task than a residential moving project. You can also plan the project ahead of time with the moving company so that the heavy lifting occurs outside of business hours.
