When you look to buy a new house there are many things you check, for example local schools and other amenities, this is no different for when they’re looking at new office space around the city. Instead of checking out local schools you’ll be checking out local businesses that you could potential he be doing business with already . Look for things that might save you money like for example when your staff go down the road for lunch are there cafés and restaurants handy to your new location? The amount of time it takes employees to get lunch is a consideration to put on your list. Can your employees get there easily ? for example is traffic at peak hour going to be an issue for them? Happy staff makes for happy clients.

Choose Your Budget

This is going to probably be the biggest determining factor in choice of location. If you spend too much you might struggle to service the rent and have to move again and downsize, if you spin too little you may end up with the office premises you’re not happy with and your staff are not happy with and again you will be moving out in a short period of time. Double check the lease agreement and make sure there are no hidden costs, have a lawyer go over this document is there often for shocks that you may not pick up on your own. For example maintenance and other building related costs you didn’t know about Also don’t forget to budget for top office movers when doing the budget for the premises , factor in the costs up front

 

Security And Accessibility

Are there any additional security costs you don’t know about? For example alarm monitoring or night patrols, some landlords will add this into the fine print . And is the accessibility to the building safe and secure ? Have you checked to see if there are bars on some of the windows that could easily be broken into, some insurance companies will make it a requirement that you and bars to the windows especially in factories and business units as these can be easy targets for thieves.

 

Consider The Space Layout

Consider how you will lay out the office for your staff. Check important factors with some of your senior staff and see if there are any discussion points or objections they bring up. Does the office have existing fit out? It can be expensive to fit out an office with furniture and other related equipment so check this an advance.

What Is The cost Of Moving My Office

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to working out the cost of an office relocation in Auckland . There are so many variables to take into consideration it’s very difficult to nail it down to an exact quote. I do recommend you consult a top office moving company like us at Auckland Exchange Movers for more advice well ahead of the planned move date.
However there are some rules of thumb that you can apply starting with the hourly rate formula. Most movers charge by the hour so let’s take for example a 5 ton truck that comes with two men, is 26 m³ and costs $185 per hour in Auckland . If you have only a small office with just general furniture, tables and chairs, desks etc. this kind of move could be as short as a few hours depending on the access in and out of the building and whether there are lifts in elevators for example if you are some flights up . This kind of cost might be around $550.

At the other end of the scale large office with many desks and chairs may require an 8 ton track, which is 45 m³ and will come with three men costing around $320 per hour. If you have planned ahead and packed as many boxes as possible this kind of move might take one day to complete, subject to access in and out of the building and where your new office is located as traffic and driving could be an issue. This kind of move may cost as much is $2500 if it can all be done in one day. If however two days are needed this could cost around about $5000 to complete and they would normally include the set up of desks and workstations so that you can be back in business the following day.

To get in accurate quote for moving your office give us a call and we will arrange a site visit and inspection and if you have some photos or video available of your new location we can use Google Maps and Google Earth to determine access in and out for the truck and give you a reasonably accurate quote for moving your office . If your staff and yourself can do as much packing as possible and have boxes taped shut and labeled this is greatly going to reduce the cost of your overall move . Movers do not want to spend time packing your stuff, rather they would spend the time moving the boxes and stacking them correctly into the truck .

Office Move Celebration Ideas

How to Celebrate your Office Move

As a top Auckland based  Office relocation company we know that moving your office to a new premises or location requires a lot of planning and preparation. So once the headaches and hassles of the move are over it’s time to celebrate your office move with your staff and clients. Here are some ideas for how this can be achieved.

Celebrate the office move with staff and partners

You don’t need a big budget and have a flashy affair, just needs to be a morning tea coffee or a few beers and wines after work. The important thing is to communicate to your staff that you are incredibly proud of them for handling the office move as it can be a very difficult experience for a lot of employees. It may also be worthwhile inviting neighboring companies so that your staff can mix and mingle with the neighbors, this may be important and it’s always good to know who your neighbours are.

Celebrating your office move with clients and suppliers.

This will be a little bit more formal than a few drinks with your employees, the idea here is to use the opportunity for staff and your clients to engage on a social level and since the environment is new to both parties it will seem more neutral and inviting.

Team Building

Consider A team building exercise like for example a visit to Waiheke Island or Rangitoto . Maybe do a bike trek or a kayak excursion, these are great ways to thank your staff for all of the hard effort and extra time and energy that they will have put in to helping you move office location. Everybody knows that relocating premises is a very difficult time for all concerned so this is a great way to thank them for their input.

Bottom line is don’t go overboard, with health and safety and other considerations keeping it low-key would be the main preference

Business Relocation Checklist – What To Organise When You Moves Office Or Commerial Premises

If you are relocating your business there are a number of things you should compile in the checklist and took these off as they are completed ahead of moving day.
Let’s take a look at the order and flow of how to create a business relocation checklist you can use to work with your Office Moving Company

Six months prior to the move

first create your checklist and include all the activities to be completed on moving day. Appoint yourself a project manager, a staff member who can oversee and facilitate all of the important decisions to do with the move.
Create a budget for the move and allocate some funding if it’s available. Meet with your employees and advise them of what is happening, keep them in the loop at all phases before and after the move.

Three months before the move

Contact and hire an Auckland moving company, allow yourself plenty of time do not leave this to the last moment
Order and arrange your new signage for the building as this will take some time to create. Also arrange business cards letter heads, envelopes and other stationary that you will require at the new address
Create a office floor plan and advise your team they are required to input into the new design to determine how best to lay out the new office. After all they spend 8 to 10 hours a day there so give them some choices

One month before the move

Arrange a new phone system if necessary and order the phone lines required. Start the process of cleaning out any junk in your old office or premises. This may take several weeks doing a little bit at a time to minimise the need to do it all at the end.
Arrange the necessary insurances and book in a security company to organize alarms and monitoring. By now you should have all the new stationary and other things required to run your business from the new address.

One week before moving day

Assemble the team and have a staff meeting, advise them of the plan over the last week as they will be a lot of small things to take care of including having your existing premises cleaned prior to the next company taking it over. Buy now you should have arranged keys and access cards or swipe cards for the new premises and you are all set for moving day.
The only thing left now is to work with the office moving company to smoothly transition your business over to the new address and have it up and running as quickly as possible. It’s best that the final few days of moving occur on the weekend so that you have Saturday and Sunday to finalize things ahead of your team arriving at the new address on Monday morning.
