Part 1: The Ultimate Office Move: Planning and Organisation Tips

Moving offices can feel like a big job, especially when you're moving from a coworking space to your very own leased office. But don’t worry—with a good plan and a little help from us, you’ll be settled into your new space in no time.

Start with a Basic Timeline

First things first: make a timeline. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just a rough plan of what needs to be done and when. Think of it as your guide to the move. As you go along, you can add more details. Just make sure to leave some extra time for any surprises!

Create a Moving Checklist

Next up: the checklist. Start with the big tasks, then break them down into smaller steps. We’ve seen some clients end up with over 900 items on their lists—talk about being prepared! If you need help getting started, we’re happy to share some ideas or even create a custom checklist just for you.

Streamline Procurement

Now, let’s talk about getting your supplies ready. Moving is the perfect time to think about which suppliers you want to keep, which new ones you’ll need, and where you might find better deals. Clara Office Management can help with an audit and budget plan. Plus, our platform makes it super easy to compare suppliers and order everything you need in bulk, so you’re ready to go from day one.

Effective Communication

Don’t forget to talk to your team. A quick survey can help you gather ideas on how to make the new office great. Also, make sure everyone knows what the bosses expect, especially when it comes to budget and must-haves. Keeping everyone in the loop will make the move smoother.

Stay Flexible

Think of this move like moving house—things won’t always go as planned. But that’s okay! Stay flexible, and if you run into any last-minute issues, Clara Office Management is here to help you sort them out.

Final Thoughts

An office move doesn’t have to be stressful. With a solid plan and a bit of help, you’ll have everything under control. And remember, our marketplace is your go-to for making sure your new office is set up and ready to roll. Stay tuned for Part 2 in our 9-part series, where we’ll talk about keeping everyone in the loop during the move.
