The goal of every business owner is to minimize the downtime of their office during a relocation. If you have an upcoming relocation planned for your office, you may be curious about how you can reduce the delays.

As an experienced commercial moving company, we have handled numerous office relocations for our customers. This article will cover how to minimize downtime when working with commercial office movers. 

Plan and Communicate Early

The planning of your office relocation is what will make it successful and streamlined. Once you have confirmed that you will be moving, you should hire an office mover as soon as possible. This will give you plenty of time to prepare for the process.

During your planning phase, you should create a detailed timeline, assign responsibilities to employees, and establish communication. The clear communication between employees and the movers will provide a better experience.

Implement a Phased Moving Approach

An effective way to reduce downtime is to take a phased move approach. Instead of moving everything at once, you can break up the relocaiton into different departments in the office. You can move non-essential departments or equipment first to the next location. 

Once you have moved all the non-essential departments and settled into the office, you can move essential areas. The phased moving approach will allow critical business functions to continue throughout the transition. 

Leverage Technology for Seamless Transition

With much of our work being online, business transition has become easier. While the office is being moved, many workers can continue their daily tasks remotely. Additionally, the process of moving IT infrastructure can be assisted with technology.

If you want to minimize the downtime of your IT equipment, you should assign a dedicated IT team for the move. Once you arrive at the new location, the team can work to restore the functionality of the essential equipment.
