Top Tops For a Seamless Office Move

Spring is in the air and it’s that time of year again when many of us are contemplating a move during the more forgiving summer months, so here are some top tips to ensure your office move is as pain free as possible – let’s face it we could all do with some advice in times of change!

 

First things first, if you fail to plan, then prepare to fail - we love this saying here at Cube Office Relocation! Come up with a clear set of goals for your relocation. Have your goals agreed upon and finalised and don’t forget a contingency plan as it’s always best to have a plan B, just in case.

 

Ensure your figures are correct – set a budget and stick to it. Again, a contingency fund would be sensible for any overlooked and unexpected costs. This will enable you to take control of your spend. Cube Office Relocation can cater for a range of budgets and has a multitude of experience in managing public sector relocations so has a plethora of experience in accommodating the most stringent of budgets.

 

Prepare a time plan – this will help you imagine the process and tick off any goals as they are completed; great for morale and keeping an eye on your critical path.

 

Prepare staff and facilities – let staff know way in advance you intentions for relocation, the importance of having your workforce working with you, not against you is paramount. In terms of facilities work out what furniture and equipment will be going with you, what is redundant and what needs to be purchased for the new location, this will allow less lead time in the changeover.

Going Green

We are the generation who must carry the burden of the various ecological issues from which our planet suffers and here at Cube Office Relocation we are doing our bit to make our world a greener place.

• We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and run low emission vehicles.

• We have close links with specialist environmental disposal agencies, charities and local education trusts that are able to redistribute and recycle unwanted furniture and equipment.

• All our packaging materials are locally sourced with high quality materials and where possible produced using recycled materials. Accordingly after use, we endeavour to reduce, collect and recycle our packaging materials.

> During a stressful office move, recycling is often the last thing on a long list of priorities. Yet we are also aware that during the moving process, departments are often requested to reduce the quantity of filing to be moved. So we try to help out where we can; through Cube we handle the supply and transport of your recycling sacks and crates. We provide sacks for recycled paper to our customers to encourage a green frame of mind. Alternatively if you do not wish to recycle outright, we offer archiving and a confidential document shredding service. After shredding confidential documents, we make sure they too are pulped and recycled afterwards. Recycling paper is important as it produces fewer polluting emissions, consumes less energy, uses less water and avoids the production of harmful methane gas, which is produced when rotting in a landfill.

So call us today on 29142200 to make sure you choose a company with green interests at heart when planning your relocation.
