Moving business locations can be an all-encompassing task. After choosing your relocation spot, you’ll still have to decide how to move all your furniture and equipment from one location to another. A good office moving company, like North Sound Interiors, will help make the moving process seamless and efficient for all parties involved.
This article will discuss factors to consider when choosing office moving services.
Your search for business moving companies should begin with researching their customer history and background. You’ll want to determine if they are listed on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and confirm licensing and insurance. Any business that has been around for a long time may have a few less-than-flattering testimonials, but you’ll want to look for common themes. If you see numerous complaints about broken or damaged equipment, derailed schedules, or inefficiency, consider moving on from the company.
How long have the business movers been in business? As the economy continues to fluctuate, only the best moving companies in the industry tend to survive, typically making movers with an extensive and reliable history a solid choice. In addition, consider how many years of experience they have relocating offices. Disassembling, transporting, and reassembling an entire space requires a completely different skillset and knowledge than just moving residential customers.
As you’re considering different moving companies, take into account the level of professionalism they display and how they guide the conversation. At this point, you shouldn’t have to ask many questions, as your initial questions should be answered over the phone or naturally during the conversation. If you have to drag out information from a salesperson, this probably indicates a lower quality of customer service or how difficult you may find the moving process with them.
Whether moving a few cubicles or several floors of equipment and furniture, you’ll spend a lot of time planning and communicating your move with others. The office moving company you choose should be able to explain the entire moving process to you and provide timely and efficient communication. Along with providing the services you need, they should offer reliable customer service supports that you can reach whenever you need. If they are difficult to reach as you’re initially planning, they will likely be more difficult to contact when a contract is signed.
When it comes to moving an office, the cost is not a one-size-fits-all approach. You may have complex and expensive office equipment, files, and personal effects that all need to be moved with the utmost care. You will also have the challenge of coordinating tasks between departments and keeping everything running smoothly before, during, and after the transition. Since each relocation job is different, a custom quote should be provided. As you’re finalizing what company to use, compare your options and be sure you shop around to compare different quotes.
