To be honest, when I started working in my current company, the first thing that came to my mind was that I need to find another job quickly because I was going to suffocate in the small office I had to sit for 8+ hours. There is nothing worse than working in a small office; there’s not enough room for all your stuff, not enough space for windows so you can get enough sunlight and fresh air and even if you do manage to find a place for all your things, you’ll overcrowd the place so much it will eventually kill your concentration.
Luckily, I love my job, so I managed to work my way towards getting a bigger office: one with large glass wall on one side and a killer view, a large desk for my computer and work papers, a shelf for my belongings and a seating area for my clients – you know, a real Harvey Specter-like office. And while I created the perfect picture in my head on the entire office design, there was another problem: moving everything a few floors up. I can’t do an entire move on my own, so I decided to do things the professional way: I hired a commercial removal company.
Let me explain to you why you need to hire a commercial removal company instead of ordinary removal company: regular removalists are specialised in their job that’s not debatable, but commercial removalists are experts in handling sensitive equipment like art pieces and equipment, medical machinery, and similar stuff. Also, offices that include a lot of paperwork and folders containing sensitive papers need to be organized and carefully transported to the new destination so nothing gets lost or damaged. And you don’t want to leave that to amateurs.
Another aspect to consider is the plan and budget for the relocation. If you thought that moving an office or an entire corporation from one destination to another is going to cost a little and will be performed in a day or two (because hey, that’s just a simple move action, right?), you were fooling yourself big time my friend. While you can negotiate the price and find an option that’s going to cost you less, you shouldn’t compromise on quality and good organization of the move.
And finally, who would allow an amateur, or even worse your Chandler from Friends-alike friend to perform the relocation of your overly-expensive office furniture? You know how wall corners can literally destroy your sofas, how your chairs can largely suffer from improper move and how your wall pictures can be all of a sudden “torn” to pieces? Yes, that’s from lack of attention and a very irresponsible handling of stuff.
So bottom line, be smart and hire a commercial removal company to do the heavy job for you; you’ll be at peace for your office furniture, the job will be done perfectly on time and all you’ll have to do is take care of designing it. The best part of it all.
