Relocation Consultancy

SPACE AUDITS

The first step to finding the right office is understanding how your staff use your current space, and how they work most effectively. Our office relocation consultants conduct workspace utilisation audits to analyse the effect that your current space has on productivity, staff morale and retention, and look for ways these could be improved in your next space. This step is vital in informing the project brief and the type of offices we show you if you move.

In a space audit, we ask questions like “Do your staff like to work collaboratively, and if so, are there enough spaces that facilitate collaboration?” as well as “How do they like to spend their breaks and how does the space enable this?”. This helps us gauge the importance of different areas of an office that help us maximise the office layout for your business. Each business is different, and so each office is catered specifically to your needs.

Top tips for ensuring a successful office relocation

While there’s lots to consider when moving office, consider the below as a bare minimum and you’ll be on your way to a successful and cost-effective move that’ll yield the results your business needs. If you’d like additional support, get in touch with our experts who can help at every step of the journey.

Plan, plan, plan and account for contingency

Plan well and account for delays, financial overruns, and possible let-downs from suppliers. By adding ample contingency time, budget and resource, you’ll have a more successful office relocation.

Ensure staff are on board and aware of responsibilities

Be sure that staff have been consulted about the move, and know what to expect in terms of dates and responsibilities whether this is managing assets, helping build furniture, or just staying away from the office on certain days when works are carried out.

Be methodical and timely when planning and booking removals

Actual removals of furniture and equipment is often among the most disruptive of tasks when relocating office. Combine this with busy removals businesses who get booked early, and important milestones can easily slip. Use trusted companies, or let us do the hard work for you and leverage our trusted partners.

Consider timings to minimise disruption

When organising removals, construction workers or other suppliers, timing is everything. If possible, weekends or times when the office is less busy or closed will tend to work best, or be smart about arranging employees around key dates when works are carried out within the office.

Have a plan (or hire a relocation consultancy)

We can’t overstate the importance of planning! Businesses neglecting to do this for their office move will typically spend more time, resource, and monday on relocation, as well as endure more headaches due to overrun and stress.

If you’d like a professional to manage the process from end to end, speak to our team of relocation consultants who can arrange every part of the process, ensuring you’ll be able to relocate into your dream office with the minimum of stress.
