If your corporation has an office move looming in its future, than Washington Express Movers is here to offer you a few tips to help make the moving process as seamless, stress-free, and budget-friendly as possible.

Move During Business Hours

It may seem counter-intuitive and disruptive, but moving during office hours, when permitted by your building’s manager, can actually be the most logical choice for a number of reasons. Firstly, employees will be on the premises to offer a helping hand where required. Secondly, a daytime move will help your business avoid extra expenses that you’ll inevitably rack-up when scheduling a move after business hours, as most moving companies include after-hours fees.

Choose Off-peak Season for Savings

Because the summer months are so busy for moving companies, you may be required to pay a premium if you’re looking to schedule your move during this time. For this reason, you can enjoy great savings by opting to relocate during your mover’s off-peak season. As an added benefit, your mover is also likely to be much more accommodating of your company’s scheduling considerations when their calendar is less full.

Move When Business is Slow

Consider moving your business when it is least hectic and there are less projects, reports and client meetings scheduled. If you move during your peak season, scheduling and efficiency of the move can become a hindrance.

Pack in Advance

Pack your items well in advance. Many electronics may become fragile in cold weather. Ensure they are packed properly and if need be, make accommodations for them to travel in a heated space.

Clear Entrances of Snow

Make sure entrances are clear of snow at your current and upcoming space. Even if you are not certain there will be snow, have a back-up plan coordinated with a team ready to tackle this task if need be. Also ensure there will be space available for the moving truck to park and gain access to the building. Streets can become hectic during inclement weather.

Protect your Floors

Protect your floors and entryways. Make sure cardboard or plastic is put down on your flooring to protect them from the salt, dirt, and water that gets tracked in with snow. This will also prevent unwanted slips and injuries!

Check the Utilities

Turn your utilities on! Check in with the property manager to ensure the heat and water will be running. You don’t want you or your team to be miserable while trying to unpack.

Plan with Caution

Plan your route carefully and gather an emergency contact list. This will help you stay updated with the traffic and weather of the route you’ve chosen. Make sure you have a list of necessary phone numbers with you such as roadside assistance and phone numbers of your moving team. It’s possible you’ll run into unforeseen circumstances so allow yourself some extra travel time.
