1. Needs Analysis
Working practices have changed dramatically over the years, and how you use your office may also change. We’ll meet with your key stakeholders to understand your requirements and how we can help.
Moving offices can be stressful. Hopefully, you’re upsizing, but perhaps you’re downsizing.
Perhaps this is your first move, or you need to relocate as part of a broader change in the management process. Or maybe it’s simply the case that your lease is up, and you need to move on and find an office relocation company immediately.
Whatever the motivation for moving to a new location, our office furniture removal and relocation experts can help and guide you through the entire process.
It’s about providing the right space for your team to thrive. But it is also a significant change that needs to be managed correctly to have the least possible impact on your people. Your team shouldn’t feel anxious. Instead, they should feel considered throughout the process and excited about the opportunities this new office could present.
This is why it makes perfect sense to work with an office relocation company, such as COEL.
An efficient and professionally managed office relocation can save time, ensure that you experience the least possible ‘downtime’ and enable your team to return to ‘business as usual’ as quickly as possible.
We used COEL's relocation team to manage our office move and found that they worked seamlessly with their design and fit out colleagues to ensure a smooth and successful transfer from one site to another. The relocation team worked tirelessly until everything was as it should be. I could not recommend COEL highly enough. Joe Eyles, European Finance Director - Harvard Bioscience
From providing move guides for your staff and labelling boxes to moving furniture, installing your IT equipment, and delivering office mechanical and electrical services, our relocation team has developed a tried-and-tested process for managing your office relocation.
Working closely with your designer, our dedicated project manager will guide you through the following steps:
Working practices have changed dramatically over the years, and how you use your office may also change. We’ll meet with your key stakeholders to understand your requirements and how we can help.
Prior to the removal of office furniture, we will create a project plan that includes what you need to do and by when, any phasing requirements for moving staff, a storage inventory to plan our packing crates and boxes, an initial floor plan, and key dates and times for your diaries.
Unlike other office relocation companies, we create move guides for all team members, provide labels for boxes to help with locating items, deliver crates and adequate protection for your valuables, and help with early packing and preparation.
We will decommission mechanical, electrical, and IT equipment, conduct office furniture removals, ensure safe transit, set up the new space to the agreed floor plan, and recommission your equipment.
A site manager will ensure that all equipment and furniture have been successfully relocated into their final positions. Depending on the client’s needs, we may also collate any packing materials for collection, responsible disposal, or recycling.
Once your staff has been safely moved into your new offices, we sign off the process, and you’re ready to go!
We understand that everyone’s requirements are different, so we offer a range of options to help manage your move.
Providing extra manpower to help with the moving of your office furniture
Offering advice and helping you create a solid plan for your office move
Managing your entire office move as a complete turnkey service
We believe that all office move companies should dispose of waste ethically. We also appreciate that many of our clients are working towards their sustainability goals, so ethical disposal and lowering our combined environmental impact are vital considerations.
Before we remove any unwanted furniture, we will assess whether it can be reused or repurposed. We also work with a dedicated partner who will remove all packing waste on our behalf. They will strip down the materials and recycle them where possible to reduce waste.
Our office relocation company will then provide our clients with a certification to show how much they have saved on emissions by choosing our managed service.
Unfortunately, not all business relocations go as smoothly as planned, and timelines can shift for reasons outside your control. Or the end of your lease is rapidly approaching, and your new location is not quite ready. Don’t worry; we can help here, too.
Our warehouse storage facility gives our clients the flexibility and reassurance that they can store furniture, documents, or equipment should their circumstances change.
We can be completely flexible – providing a storage option for a few days or weeks while you concentrate on getting your team safely relocated. Long-term business storage services are also available for items you know you’ll need again one day!
With COEL, business relocations don’t have to be disruptive or stressful. Talk to our relocation experts today via our contact details below or by completing our online form.
