Corporate Relocation - How To Do It Right

Moving offices is a hefty undertaking, and finding a removal company who can help is an important step to ensuring the move goes smoothly

. Removal companies will often offer several different types of quote for an office move, so getting the best value for money can be difficult. Corporate relocation is an important event, as just a few days lost productivity can have a huge impact on your business. Get it right by choosing the best removal company, with bags of experience in corporate relocations of your size.

Removal companies will tend to try to offer guaranteed prices, but upon reading the small print you will notice that they have allowed for small deviations based on the inventory of items which need to be moved, as well as the details of how and when they will be moved.

If a removal company offer you a non-binding quote or a quote based on an hourly rate, this is not a real estimate at all. They are simply basing their charges on their past experiences in doing office removals. A 'not to exceed' quote is for movers, so that final invoices cannot exceed the estimated figure.

So a 'not to exceed' quote is probably the best quote to get from a removal company, but it is recommended to ensure that the movers have a full inventory of items to move. If not, you may find that removal companies will underestimate the size of the move, and the transportation of your items may not be to the standard expected. Removal companies should want to do a full assessment of the requested move, so they can accurately estimate the cost.

Be wary of movers who issue 'not to exceed' estimates, since often this will mean that they may cut corners when packing and moving your items. You should be able to find top quality moving and packing services for a reasonable price.

By law, removal companies should provide you with insurance for the corporate relocation. When choosing an insurance policy, ensure that you get the best coverage for your possessions, since if something goes wrong in transit you will expect decent compensation. It is often worth spending a bit more on insurance, since often there can be unusual clauses such as only physical, visible damage to computers being covered.

Corporate relocation is a stressful and important time for a business, so make sure you get it right with the best removal company available.
