Office Moving in Denver: Expectations vs. Reality

Office MovingIf you're planning to move your offices to a different place in Denver in the near future, have you pondered the reality of what it is going to entail? A lot people who have not moved in the past (or at least for a long time) may forget about how much is involved. Sometimes expectations clash with reality when it comes to time and costs.

So, which realities could you really come across with an office move in Denver? Let's look at what you might expect and what you will really experience.

Expectation: You Can Move in a Short Amount of Time

Just because you have a fairly small company, you may think you can put together an office moving lineup within a a week. In reality, you're going to need at least two months to coordinate your office move. With so many different tasks to ponder and carry out, you'll end up being overwhelmed if you dawdle up to a few days prior to moving day.

Begin thinking about what you'll have to organize, and keep up your schedule to the day of your move. Items frequently change between when you begin your list eight weeks earlier to the morning before the relocation happens.

Expectation: Hiring a Cheap Company to Move Your Office

The old notion you get what you pay for is most of the time more than true. Your expectation is maybe one where you believe you can hire a cheap moving company and still get great service. The reality is, this isn't always how it is.

Some moving companies like this don't have experienced crews, meaning a high probability of furniture damage. You are going to need to select the best moving companies to be sure you are getting the best service.

Referrals are good to read, though you can research without difficulty online. 

Expectation: Not Needing Warehouse Space

Perhaps you think you can move every item at once. In many cases, it will involve more than one moving trip.

When you possess more items that need moving, storage could become a necessity. A moving company should offer you offsite storage for anything requiring storing before the move is completed. This may involve files you need to keep separate from your office equipment.

Moving all your files at the same time as your furniture could mean your confidential files are breeched in all the chaos. Don't automatically assume the small things are going to stay completely intact during an office move in Denver without additional precautions.

Expectation: You Can Relocate Your IT Equipment by Yourself

Lots of businesses attempt to save money by moving all their IT equipment without help. Doing so isn't very realistic when it includes heavier items. Not only can moving heavy items alone cause injury if your employees do not understand how to lift properly, but it could also cause damage to expensive equipment you can’t function without. You should consider hiring a professional mover to move your IT equipment, including setup. The same goes for other heavy work equipment that requires 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.
