Office Moving in Tulsa: Expectations vs. Reality

Office MovingIf you are planning to move your offices to a new location in Tulsa in 2018, have you pondered the reality of what it is going to entail? Some people who have never moved previously (or at least for a long time) may not relalize how much is involved. Sometimes expectations differ from reality when it comes to time and costs.

So, what kind of realities should you actually face during an office move in Tulsa? Let us look at what you probably expect and what you will actually experience.

Expectation: You Can Move in a Short Amount of Time

Just because you have a somewhat small company, you may believe you can organize an office moving schedule within a a week. In actuality, you are going to need at least two months to plan your office move. With so many different items to think about and execute, you'll end up being overwhelmed if you procrastinate up to a few days ahead of moving day.

Begin thinking about what you'll have to plan, and keep up your schedule to the day of your move. Plans ofttimes change between when you make your task list two months earlier to the morning before the relocation happens.

Expectation: Hiring a Cheap Company to Move Your Office

The old saying you get what you pay for is usually more than true. Your expectation is perhaps one where you believe you can hire a cheap mover and still get outstanding service. The reality is, this is not always true.

Some moving companies like this do not have well-trained movers, meaning likely furniture damage. You're going to want to select the best moving companies to assure you're getting quality service.

Expectation: Not Needing Warehouse Space

Perhaps you think you can move every item at the same time. In a lot of cases cases, it will involve going back and forth several times.

When you have more belongings that require moving, storage is going to become a necessity. A mover should provide you offsite storage for anything requiring storing before the move completes. This could involve files you need to keep separate from your office equipment.

Moving all your files at the same time as your furniture may mean your business data is breeched in all the chaos. Do not automatically assume the little items are going to stay completely intact during an office move in Tulsa without some safeguards.

Expectation: You Can Relocate Your IT Equipment by Yourself

Lots of businesses attempt to save money by moving all their computer equipment by themselves. Doing so is not very realistic when it includes bulkier items. Not only can moving big items alone cause injury if your employees don't understand how to lift properly, but it could also lead to damage to expensive equipment you can’t run your business without. You should consider hiring a professional moving company to move your IT items, including setup. The same goes for other big work equipment requiring expert lifting and packing.

Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
