Moving office isn’t something most businesses do every day. It can feel like a daunting task, especially when you’re trying to keep operations running smoothly in the background. At Commercial Moves Group, we’ve supported countless organisations through successful, stress-free relocations. And over the years, we’ve heard all the common questions and worries that come up along the way.
So, if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the idea of an office move, here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear, and how we help solve them.
1. “Where do we even start?”
This is the big one. The best place to begin is by contacting a professional moving partner (like us!) as early as possible. We’ll walk you through a clear plan, tailored to your business needs, from timelines and crate delivery to IT relocation and furniture installation.
The earlier we’re involved, the smoother things go.
2. “How do we avoid disruption to our day-to-day work?”
We understand that downtime costs money. That’s why we work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, to minimise disruption. We also build a phased plan so your business keeps running while we get everything moved, unpacked and set up.
3. “What happens to all our IT equipment?”
Your tech is at the heart of your business, and we treat it that way. Our specialist team handles the full disconnect-reconnect process for computers, servers, printers, and other hardware, with security and care every step of the way. We’ll also make sure everything’s up and running when your team arrives on day one.
4. “How will our team know what to do?”
We work directly with your internal move champions to train staff on the best way to pack and label their equipment. That includes clear communication throughout the process, so everyone knows what’s happening and when.
You’ll also have a dedicated move consultant to keep everything coordinated and on track.
5. “What if we don’t have room for everything in the new office?”
No problem! We offer short- and long-term secure storage solutions in Aberdeen. Whether it’s surplus furniture, archived files or equipment you’re not ready to part with, we’ll keep it safe until you’re ready to use it again.
6. “Can you help with furniture installation too?”
Yes, we can! from planning your new layout to installing desks, seating and breakout areas, our team takes care of it all. We’ll make sure your new space works for your team and is ready to go from day one.
