Office Moves: Furniture & Space Planning

Planning an office move involves so many details and logistics that it can seem overwhelming. But, a move often means positive things for your company, which is exciting! It will require advanced planning, delegation, multi-tasking, and good communication. But with the right plan in place, your relocation can go smoothly. 

Assess Your Current Space

During the preparation process, it’s important to take a detailed look at your company’s needs. How many employees do you have and what are their workstation requirements? Take inventory of all of your existing furniture, making note of anything that you’re not planning to take with you. Identify any gaps in the furnishings you currently have. Maybe your reception area needs more chairs, or you are looking to add an employee lounge in the new office. Evaluate your current office layout – are there problems with the traffic flow that need to be addressed? Think about each department and if any area would benefit from a change in relative location. Do you have adequate room for common office needs like copying/printing/filing? Once you have a good idea of what is currently working for you and what is not, you’ll be able to move on to the next step – space planning.

Furniture And Space Planning

Once you’ve assessed your current space and needs, you can begin planning for the new space. Firstly, make sure you have a floor plan with accurate dimensions and locations of features like windows, stairs, etc. It can be helpful to gain feedback from your employees when it comes to the new office layout. Discuss several options to see what might work best for your staff as a whole. From your space plan, you’ll be able to generate a list of furnishings you’ll need to acquire.
