What Are Office Movers?
Changing offices?
You’re probably going to need some moving help, and that’s where officer movers come into play. Office movers are moving companies that specialize in relocating offices.
That being said, office movers don’t do anything special. They move offices like normal moving companies move houses. So, your goal should just be to find a moving company that can handle your move well and in an affordable manner. They don’t need to tout the term “office movers”.
Office moves are a bit different than normal moves, making certain moving options better than others. Here’s what you need to know:
What Makes an Office Move Different
Moving an office differs from a home move in three major ways.
- More electronics – Most offices have numerous computers, phones and other expensive items.
- Time is of the essence – The longer the move is, the longer your company is out of business.
- Customers/clients – If your move is botched, it could end up costing you customers/clients. Furthermore, many offices have confidential information that shouldn’t be viewed by the movers.
What Makes a Good Office Mover?
First and foremost, try to find movers who don’t charge for stairs, expensive electronics, elevators or anything else that is a common characteristic of an office move. Beyond that, your movers should be:
- Experienced with electronics – There is a lot of expensive equipment in an office. You want to make sure your moving company will treat it with the proper care. Check moving reviews and look for complaints about broken items.
- Local -Try to get a local moving company, because they’ll have a better idea of the local area, and they might have more flexible rates.
- Fast – The company should have at least a few movers helping with your move to make it go faster.
- Able to help set up – Ideally, the moving company will be able to help set up as they unload, expediting the time it takes to get your office functioning again.
