A major part of planning an office move is creating a budget, which can be overwhelming. It’s crucial to consider every detail to estimate the cost of your relocation accurately and make the best decisions for your business. With the help of a trustworthy, experienced moving team, you don’t have to handle this process alone. At CRS Moving & Storage, one of our project managers works with you from the beginning to analyze your budget and what it should include.
Our well-trained team has many years of experience moving all types of businesses, so we can accommodate all your needs throughout your move. Before moving day, we help you consider important factors like distance, timing, and the number of items you have to move in order to create a budget and plan that meets your unique needs. With our expert guidance and one-stop-shop approach, you can focus on your business and have a stress-free moving experience while we ensure your move is on time and within budget.
What Practical Moving Cost Factors Should You Consider When Creating Your Relocation Budget?
Every business has different needs, goals, and expectations during a move, so the estimated budget for your relocation depends on these unique factors. When helping you develop a moving plan, we consider the following practical cost details:
Distance
The distance you are moving is one of the main factors that impacts your budget. For example, if you are relocating to a new floor in the same building, you may not need to use our company-owned trucks. However, for longer-distance moves, you will likely require us to prepare your items for transport in our vehicles.
Timeframe
Certain times of year and days of the week are busier for movers than others. Typically, the summer months and weekends are the most common choice for businesses to move, making them more expensive times as well. Choosing a relocation time from October to April or during business hours if your building allows may save you money and enable you to use your budget on other services.
Types of Spaces
Analyzing your space’s square footage is often not enough to accurately determine your move’s cost. Instead, we review the types of spaces you have to move and what you want your new office to look like. For example, if you have a kitchen, conference rooms, cubicles, and storage closets to relocate, you may need our team to uninstall and reinstall technology, pack large pieces of furniture, and configure them in your new space. These details contribute to your move’s budget.
Custom Crating
If you have pieces of art, awkwardly sized items, or unique pieces of furniture, you may need custom crating, which CRS Moving & Storage provides. During the planning process, we inventory all your items to determine what packing materials you need, including custom crating, to include in your budget.
Size and Weight of Items
Having a well-trained moving team’s help throughout your move helps your team avoid workplace injury. With our expertise, experience, and manpower, we can effectively and safely move your items, including heavy and oversized furniture and appliances. If you have items that require extra care to pack and transport, the labor and materials involved may factor into your budget.
