Why Office Relocation Services Are Better Than Going Solo

Posted on February 27, 2019 by - Blogging

Office relocation services are a better choice

Corporate called, it’s time for a move. But as the manager, they want you to handle it all by yourself. You feel like that’s way too big of a job for one person to handle, and we agree! Going solo on a project this big never ends well. That’s why The Quality Group offers office relocation services to make your life easier.

What Our Job Is

The Quality Group was founded in New Orleans more than 30 years ago. Since our creation, we’ve done our best to aid businesses in seamless location changes.

When you choose us as your guide to moving your business, we make sure you have our utmost attention. Once contracted, we assign your business one of our experienced move managers. Their job is to work with you to coordinate the time, date, and length of your move that best suits your team. To ensure that your move occurs on schedule, our move managers will tap into every possible resource. Mainly, the move manager’s job is to take the stress away from you so you can focus on your business.

Today, The Quality Group provides the following services:

Sensitive Tech and Equipment

Technology can be confusing if you don’t have a hand in it. Moving everything can be an IT team’s worst nightmare. Especially if your group only has one that manages everything. With our office relocation services, our IT Support works with yours. Once everyone is caught up, a plan is created to securely transfer all your important files.

Our team also specializes in handling various forms of delicate equipment. On your own, there’s a chance that equipment could become damaged in transport. This could cost your business and lay blame on you.

Tables and Chairs and Cubicles… Oh my!

When you move into a new home, the worst part about it is having to lug around all of your furniture. Having to decide what to do with your company’s furniture is, somehow, even worse to deal with. Our Furniture Installation service involves more than just installation. We’ll help you install furniture, choose new furnishings, and remove unwanted pieces.

Easy Office Relocation Services in the Big Easy

Office relocation services exist to make your life easier. The Quality Group has several locations across Louisiana and Mississippi. Find our New Orleans location at 1100 Poydras St. Suite 2900. If you’d rather give us a call, you can at (504) 585-7309. You’d rather contact us directly? Say no more, send us a message from this page. Opening at 8 am til 5 pm (or 8:30 in Jackson), we’re always at the ready to help you out with your big move. We look forward to hearing from you!

A 12-Step Guide To Moving Your Office

A 12-Step Guide To Moving Your Office, office moving company

We get it, moving can be extremely stressful. Trying to run a company while having constant commotion in the office during a move can be a bad combination. The Quality Group is here to help. No one wants their office to be shut down for days while the move happens at a glacial pace. 

The 12-Step Guide to Moving Your Office, Quickly & Efficiently

If you are responsible for planning the move for your company, here is a 12-step guide to moving your office.

Ask Questions

To accurately plan a move, you will need to know the who, what, when, where, and how much of your office relocation. Having a full scope of the what will be involved will give you an idea of how best to go about the moving process.  

Gather Moving Supplies

The “better safe than sorry” model most definitely applies to moving your office. Stocking up on moving supplies early on will help ease the process later on when it comes time to actually move. Some of the supplies you should look into buying include:

  • Bubble wrap
  • Cardboard boxes of various sizes
  • Zip ties
  • Markers
  • Boxcutters
  • Packing peanuts

These are just a few to start out with. Depending on your company and the scope of your move, you may need more or less.

Clean and Condense

To help the process move along quicker, it is important to encourage people to take home personal items so that they will not be in the way of movers and to ensure they do not get lost or damaged.

Rid Your Life of Extra Stress (Old or Damaged Furniture)

Our next step in the 12-step guide to moving your office is to say goodbye to old furniture that is only going to make your move more extensive and clutter your new space. If you are a hoarder and the thought of throwing something away disgusts you, there are other options! You can resell, donate, recycle or liquidate your old furniture. One man’s trash is another’s treasure.

Schedule Ahead

If you know that your office moving day is at the end of June, it may be a good idea to contact the utility company in May to ensure that the electricity and water will be working when you do move. Preparation is key.

Label Boxes

This simple tip can end up saving you and your coworkers hours deciphering what box contents go where. Organization is a major key to success whenever moving offices. Something as simple as creating a system of numbering or coloring to establish what boxes go where in the office can save you so much time and stress.

Remove Files and Paperwork from File Cabinets

Whether your important files are actually in filing cabinets or stored somewhere else is irrelevant. The point is that whatever confidential, important, or sensitive files that are in your office should be given special attention in the moving process. You wouldn’t want to lose an important document or a whole folder of important documents during this process. Find somewhere safe for these guys to avoid strife down the road.

FRAGILE

No matter what kind of industry you’re in, you are bound to have computers or some basic level of technology. One of the biggest fears companies have when moving is how their IT equipment will be handled. Not only are these assets expensive, but they are essential to your company’s ability to work. It’s a good idea to use zip ties to keep all cords under wraps and bubble wrap to provide protection.

Don’t Leave Your Stuff Unsupervised

When moving day does come, it is essential to be there. This will allow you to have control over the situation and provide management or answers if something goes wrong. Facilitation during the moving process is a good way to make sure that your stuff makes it to your new home safely.

Get Your Camera Ready

We highly recommend taking pictures of your old office as well as your new office. This will not only help you plan where to put things, but it acts as a kind of “evidence” of what you had in case you have a hunch that something went missing. Hopefully, you won’t have any damage to your things, but if you do during the moving process pictures always act as a good way to ensure proper compensation.

Keep Clients/Customers in the Know

This is one of the most important steps in our 12-step guide to moving your office. If customers try reaching you at your old office and fall short, they may become extremely frustrated. Communication with your customers is an essential part of your office move.
