A detailed drawing of the desired locations of every piece of furniture in every room should be assigned to the move manager. Try to draw each item somewhat close to scale and have every item labeled as to what it is. Draw in window and door locations and place the entrance door at the bottom of the page. These drawings will be hung up in each room for the movers to follow.
Every single item to be moved must be clearly marked for the movers. Sectional pieces such as book-cases or modular furniture should be tagged section by section and be marked as a group.
The marking and tag system should be uniform and detailed to assist the movers in placing the furniture and electronics in the new space. Your move manager can help design an efficient working tag system with your staff.
The color of each moving label identifies a floor and main room, from there the room number should be specified. On the entrance of each room your floor plan showing general placement for each piece will be displayed. The color coding helps movers work more efficiently rather than waiting and asking a staff member for each individual piece. This simple step can save many hours and thousands of dollars on a larger move.
Detailed coding should be assigned for the floor number, room number and tags containing all this information will be provided to your staff from us and should be filled out for every item being moved.
A color-coding strategy can be developed for quick moving into certain sections of the new office (reception, break room, mailing room, etc.) and should be thoroughly discussed with your move manager, staff and all the movers.
Furniture and equipment that needs to be dismantled such as conference tables or L-desks should be tagged on each piece with the same tag information.
If any items are missing from the item sheets report them to your move manager immediately, oftentimes the items misplaced were tagged improperly and put in a different area of the new building.
Take a final walk through with your move manager and all the movers and give a brief description of how you want everything to look. After all the items are loosely in place we can do the final touches with your staff to get everything perfectly in place.
