Need useful tips for your company move?

The preparation
Everyone knows the saying "Well begun is half done". This is certainly the case with a company removal. Many parties are involved in the move and it is important that all parties are well informed. In addition, you do not want to be faced with unforeseen surprises.

Project group
We recommend setting up a project group to guide the entire move. General matters must be arranged (budget, schedule, insurance and banking) as well as housing (facilities, renovation plans and any subsidies). It is also very important to include furnishing already in the preparation process. For example, a layout plan must be made and furniture may have to be purchased. Don't forget to make a removal plan and a schedule. Please feel free to contact us to receive the complete checklist.

Shortly before
A few days before the move you can inform the last parties about the planning and possible inconvenience. Shortly prior to the actual move you should ensure that the new building is ready for use. In addition, the printed matter and the address and contact details on the site, Google and social media must be adjusted. Instruct employees in special meetings about, for example, the way of packing, emptying desks and cabinets.

During the move
During the move, the ‘key positions’ such as the security, the porter's lodge and the telephone exchanges must be manned. A clear coding of all rooms is necessary for a smooth and efficient move. A good coding can save a lot of stress during the move. De Haan works with a scenario that is leading for the project.

After the move
Our goal is to make a company experience as little inconvenience as possible from the move and to have everyone fully operational again as soon as possible at the new workplace. Good aftercare is just as important as good preparation. The old building often has to be handed over empty to the lessor or a new owner. De Haan can also offer clearing management for this. Our advice is to keep the project group in operation for a few weeks for the handling of various matters, such as placing signs on the doors, routing signs, removal of packaging materials and any claims handling. It is also good to have the whole building cleaned.
