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 Edward Baden! 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. Edward Baden 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.
