Organising your office move

Moving office can be a stressful and unpleasant business. However, expert advice can make it a lot easier. Sometimes, the hassle and expense of a move can be avoided.

Where it is essential to move, and someone within the organisation is given the responsibility of organising it. Frequently this person has either not organised an office move before, or has not done so for many years. Issues which need to be considered include:

• How much space do we actually need?
• Finding new offices
• Flexible fit out
• Planning for IT – moves, infrastructure, upgrades
• Procuring contractors
• Phasing of moves
• Communication to staff
• Redundancy/contractual issues
• Notification to clients, suppliers and others
• Changes to company documentation
• Using an office move to assist culture or image/branding change – new building, new world

Of course, having a checklist is only a start. Many of the issues identified will be within the competence of an efficient administrator, but few people will have all the skills necessary to deal with all the issues.
