Toronto office relocation can be both exciting and daunting. Whether you’re scaling up or downsizing for efficiency, moving in or out of Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada, there is a lot of components to take care of.
Here are some key moving tips for businesses to make their Toronto office relocation smooth.
-
Plan in advance
If possible, start planning your office move 4-6 months before the moving day in order to attend to all of the details without becoming overwhelmed. Once you know you’re moving into a new office in Toronto – scope out the space and decide on the layout, including where everything and everyone will go.
-
Find and hire Toronto office moving company early
Since moving a business office involves moving a lot of equipment and office items, be sure to get a full estimate and hire a full-service Toronto office moving company 1-3 months ahead of time. Make sure they have experience with commercial / office relocation and ask them for an on-site Toronto office moving quote. Your Toronto office movers should be held to the same professional standard as anyone else you do business with.
-
Get the IT Team on board
Give your IT team 3 months advance notice to start planning the transfer of all things technical: equipment, internet plans, phone connections, etc. They will also need to evaluate the new office space for any upgrades that need to be made, either to the infrastructure or to equipment being brought to your new office.
-
Order new equipment well in advance
You want to have everything you need when you relocate to your new Toronto office, so 1-2 months in advance you should start putting in your orders for any new equipment and furniture. Coordinate with your suppliers to have your purchases arrive at your new office just before you move in.
