A Guide to Office Relocations

When the issue of office moving comes up it’s the IT department people who are most bothered and that’s for a good reason. Moving is not exactly easy as pie because of the intricacies involved in voice and data cabling and requires plenty of planning and execution, the failure or short coming in either may lead to additional time and cost penalty, which definitely becomes a setback. So what are the things we should consider when relocation is imminent? From a general view point there are three things to be reviewed in this regard. The first is concerning the infrastructure/equipment in your firm. Is it technological coeval or would you like to upgrade them?

Secondly, what is the future scope of these infrastructural needs? Would you still need the same or might there be a difference in needs later in time? Third and finally, what is the allotted budget for this relocation? 

The budget becomes a crucial feature when determining the requirements of your network bandwidth, your network environment and the future needs of the network bandwidth. It is better to consult a professional in this regard and then formulate the budget plan. The physical space of your office is an important part of all the planning that you have to do. This requires the maximum amount of effort as even the smallest things going awry can lead to major problems. Especially concerning the network installations and maintenance consult a bunch of professionals and get a spectrum of quotes based on your needs.


Be open to new ideas but do not be coerced into doing what you do not want to do. If the technicalities seem vague and nebular do not invest in them, you have to know exactly what you are getting.  There are many office relocation specialists in London who can guide and help you in your process. They provide services such as storing, cleaning, packing, shipping, archiving, transporting, etc. These become valuable services when you plan to relocate to a distant part of the city from where you are now or to a new place in a new city altogether. There are a few points to go through before you hire a relocation specialist and these include the kind of facilities/transporting vehicles they provide, the number of projects they did previously, the number of clients they had and the feedback they received, the sustainability of the relocation firm, the quote they offered and it’s speciality when compared to other services offering the same features, these are but some of the things you need to consider before investing in relocation firms. That being said, you need to keep in mind that insurance should also be done to the furniture or equipment you are trying to relocate in case of an unfortunate event. With proper planning relocation will not seem the beast of burden it looks like and the whole process will happen smoothly if everything is followed as it should be.
