Planning to move to a new office location in the New Year? \u00a0Moving your office can be a complex undertaking especially if you are new to office relocation procedures.\u00a0 The 6 key factors below that determine the cost of office moving are very similar the household move estimate process you may have been through.<\/p>\n

At Clancy, our move consultants are experienced with helping customers of all sizes and with a wide variety of needs. \u00a0 Let us help you with more than just the heavy-lifting. \u00a0We are happy to help you plan your\u00a0office move<\/a>\u00a0starting with getting a better understanding of what goes into estimating the cost of office moving.<\/p>\n

Know these 6 practical office moving cost factors:<\/p>\n

1. Types of office spaces being moved.<\/h2>\n

To prepare the most accurate office moving estimate, your Clancy representative will conduct a free visual inspection and consultation at your office.\u00a0 \u00a0Modular workstations (commonly referred to as cubicles) are much different than open-plan office spaces which is why estimating based on square footage is not enough.<\/p>\n

Does your office have a kitchen?\u00a0 A storage closet?\u00a0 A server room?\u00a0 What type of furniture do you have?\u00a0 Clancy Installers are certified in many lines of commercial furniture and can provide disassembly and reassembly if reconfigurations or office restacking is part of your project.\u00a0 Clancy techs can assist with disconnecting and reconnecting as well as server relocating computers, VoIP telephone systems as well as servers.\u00a0 There are many types of office\/commercial space that factor into the cost of moving; not all moving companies have the variety of resources and staff that Clancy does.<\/p>\n

Clancy offers an efficient, convenient, cost-effective experience saving clients both time and money while delivering Quality and Safety.<\/p>\n

2. Size\u00a0and weight of furniture.<\/h2>\n

It is highly recommended you instruct staff to NOT try to move heavy items themselves.\u00a0 Clancy\u2019s movers are trained for Quality and Safety when moving items. Don\u2019t risk workplace injury occurrences that can be avoided.<\/p>\n

If your office has oversize furnishings, equipment, sculptures or valuable artwork special care may be required to move them safely.\u00a0 If needed, Clancy craftsmen are ready to build a custom crate and our Professional Rigging Team can manage even the most challenging projects.<\/p>\n

3. Amount of artwork to be removed and re-installed.<\/h2>\n

Let your staff know ahead of time to bring home any personal artwork hanging on their walls or in their cubicles and to only bring it back after the project is complete. To reduce liability, plan on our professional movers to pack and relocate all company artwork.<\/p>\n

4. Plastic reusable Crate rentals and\/or boxes.<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a good idea in the months and weeks leading up to your move that your team does a \u201cpurge campaign\u201d to remove excess.\u00a0\u00a0Purge all the things!\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Remove any obsolete, duplicate or non-essential materials from your office.\u00a0 By enlisting your staff and colleagues help, you can effectively reduce the costs of materials associated with moving your office.<\/p>\n

Each employee should be responsible for packing and unpacking their own work area and personal effects.\u00a0 Personal belongings and artwork should be removed prior to moving day and only brought back once the relocation is complete.<\/p>\n

5. Distance being moved.<\/h2>\n

Relocating your office to a new floor requires labor and packing supplies.\u00a0 Clancy also provides floor, wall and door\/entryway protection which is required by many property managers.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to ask your building manager what the rules for moving are.\u00a0\u00a0 Even moving to a new floor may require professional movers with a certificate of insurance.\u00a0 Be sure to also ask about elevators and if reserving a service elevator is required.\u00a0 The tenant must handle arrangements with the building, generally, outside vendors are not permitted to do so.\u00a0 The majority of building management companies insist that tenants make move in\/out arrangements and won\u2019t take instruction from outside vendors.<\/p>\n

Moving your office longer distances involves trucking.\u00a0 Trucks require fuel and a driver at minimum.\u00a0 Only so many crew members can legally fit into a truck.\u00a0 Be prepared to see some transportation expenses relative to the distance your office needs to travel.<\/p>\n

6. Time frame you choose for moving day.<\/h2>\n

The summer months are the busiest time of year for moving.\u00a0 Most businesses choose to move on weekends and\/or are required by the property manager to move after office hours.\u00a0 A move during business hours may cost less than after hours.\u00a0 To save money on your office move, try to plan a move during the off-season late September through April.\u00a0 Steer clear of holidays too (overtime).<\/p>\n
