Planning a Move to a New Commercial Property
Planning a commercial
move can be a harrowing task for the person in charge.
You’re often responsible not only for locating your new
commercial property,
but for communicating with employees, coordinating the packing
project, and contracting movers. The good news is that it only
takes a little bit of planning to turn a potential
commercial property
nightmare into a pleasant moving experience. Here are a few
things to keep in mind:
-
Keep the details concerning your new
commercial property
private until the final deal has been completed. Your
employees will be curious about your move, but there is no
need to send them into a panic about how long their new
drive to work will be if you aren’t even sure where you’ll
end up.
-
Interview several commercial movers and ask them about their
professional experience. Are they used to doing residential
moves or are they experience at working with
commercial property
as well. You’ll also want information on their rates and any
additional fees they may charge. Ask your Dallas
realtor if you aren’t sure where to look for a good
mover. He or she will likely be able to recommend at least
one or two.
-
Finding commercial
real estate in
Dallas may
have been a difficult task, but your move doesn’t need to
be. Don’t do anything without making an office move
checklist. This will keep you organized and ensure that you
don’t forget any critical tasks.
-
Make a list of dedicated employees and staff members you can
trust and recruit them to act as your office moving team.
They may not know much about
Dallas
real estate, but they’ll certainly be able to help you
determine the best ways to pack up each department while
interrupting the workflow as little as possible.

Take this opportunity to create an inventory so that you aren’t
taking unneeded files and equipment to your new
commercial property.
Throw away things you no longer need and pack up your old client
files for offsite storage. Now would be a great time to throw
away or recycle the dead computer monitors and fax machines
you’ve been storing in the closet as well.
-
Make sure you work with your
Dallas
realtor to identify which utility companies service the new
office building. You’ll want to have all of your services turned
on in advance so that your IT and phone specialists can go in
and set everything up in advance. This way you can get to work
as soon as possible after the move without inconveniencing your
clients.
-
Color code each floor or department and assign alphabetic or
numeric codes to each employee. If you thought locating good
Dallas
real estate was a chore, imagine trying to find your box of
personal files after an ill planned move. Assigning codes will
ensure that everyone’s belongings show up in their personal
spaces at the new office
-
Don’t forget to sit down with your movers in advance to go over
the floor plans and charts at your new
commercial property.
Having copies readily available will ensure that they’re able to
put things exactly where they belong on moving day.
-
Relax and celebrate! Coordinating the move into your new
real estate in
Dallas will take
a lot of time and dedication. Reward everyone on your staff for
their hard work and efforts!
