Office Moving Checklist

Preparing for an upcoming office move requires pre-planning. The following check list will help you organize your move.

Step 1: It’s a good idea to first research moving companies online by looking at their website, blog, and Facebook posts. Choose at least three companies to call and get a written on site estimate. Only consider companies that have a physical office where you are located.

Step 2: Be prepared with a list of questions. You need to know in advance if your office will require packing services and packing supplies so this can be calculated into your estimate. Don’t forget to ask about how to move artwork and plants.

Step 3: Choose your moving company based on factors such as cost, customer service, availability, and referrals. Be sure you get in writing a confirmation of your moving date, and any charges for cancelling or rescheduling. Be sure you clearly understand how to pay for your move.

Step 4: Have your Utah movers deliver moving boxes if your office is doing their own packing.

Step 5: Prepare your office for moving. This includes packing desks, lateral and wood file cabinets, and storage cabinets. It’s helpful to label your furniture and boxes. Be sure your moving company is prepared with parking instructions for moving day.

Step 6: Meet your Utah movers at your loading address. We recommend walking them through your office as soon as they arrive. This is the best time to point out anything that is not being moved and to give them any special directions about your move.

Step 7: Go with your moving crew where they will be unloading to be sure that everything is placed exactly where you want it. It’s best to know your office layout before your movers begin to unload. Offices at destination should also be labeled with names that match your furniture and boxes.

Step 8: Sign off with your movers and confirm payment. If there are any problems, be sure you note it at this time. It’s a good idea to check the back of the moving truck before your movers leave for any items overlooked.

Your Utah movers work hard to make sure you are completely satisfied with your move, but organization is the key

Six Simple Steps on Office Moving Day

There are six simple steps to follow on the day of your move which will help your moving day go smoothly.

Step 1

Your office representative needs to review your moving objectives with

your Utah moving crew when they arrive. It is best to walk through your office

with them before the moving begins.

Step 2

Your movers will place the furniture and boxes in their proper offices when they reach your new office. Therefore, to expedite this process, be sure all items and office are clearly marked ahead of time.

Step 3

Remember to disconnect appliances, remove fixtures and take down pictures. Any other items which are taken apart by your Utah movers at the origin will be reassembled at the destination. However, movers will not reconnect appliances, attach fixtures or hang pictures.

Step 4

Before your movers leave the loading address, please walk through your office to be sure nothing has been forgotten.

Step 5

As your movers unload your office goods, they will assist you in placing desks, cabinets, bookcases, and other furniture pieces in their correct location. Please be available to direct them.

Step 6

After your shipment is completely unloaded, be sure you acknowledge delivery and the condition of your goods on your invoice. It is best to have an

agent from your company inspect the inside of the moving truck(s) for any

items which may have been over looked.

Follow these steps and your Utah movers will do the rest to insure your office is moved in a timely and efficient manner.

When is the Best Time to Move?

Moving can be stressful no matter when you are moving. However, if given a choice, there are better times than others to move.

Utah movers gear up for the busiest times of the year to move. So with a little bit of planning and organizing, you can reserve the day and time you need to move.

1) The busiest day of the month to move is Saturday. If you need to move on this day, schedule your move 2 weeks in advance if possible.

2) The last week of a month is the busiest week to move. People need to move before their rent and lease come due; schedule for this time period at least 2 weeks ahead.

3) May through August are busy times to move. Plan ahead if you need to move during the summer.

4) Holidays can be a busy time for people to move. Again, schedule in advance if you want to move during a holiday break.

There are times that are less hectic for moving. Sometimes you can even get a better deal when scheduling for these time periods.

1) January and February are always the slowest months for moving. It’s cold outside and people just don’t like to relocate during the winter. So consider moving during the winter.

2) Middle of the month, as long as it’s not during the summer, is a good time to move. The rush is always for the end of the month, so if you can move during the middle of the month, you won’t have to schedule so far in advance.

3) Always try to move first thing in the morning. If you can arrange your schedule to have a morning appointment that is the best way to go. You’ll get a fresh crew and you won’t have to worry about your crew running late if your appointment follows someone else.

4) Same day appointments are often available if you need to move at the last minute.

Just a few ideas to keep in mind if you are scheduling an upcoming move!

Your Utah movers move year round so you should be able to move whenever is convenient for you.
