COMMERCIAL RELOCATION SPECIALISTS CAN TEACH THE DOMESTIC SECTOR A TRICK OR TWO

Moving a business to new premises is a much bigger task than a domestic house move, but both face many of the same issues and can become stressful and chaotic if not handled well. Businesses plan a moving operation for months to ensure its success, and many of the same practices can be applied to the domestic sector.

Although a domestic move requires less time and resources than a commercial move, they often also come with budget and time constraints as main priorities. To ensure these requirements are met, the project manager should have an in-depth discussion with the client at the start of the move to determine the parameters they are working within.

Unexpected problems can happen and although they may slow the move down, they should be able to be overcome with careful planning.

Anticipate problems in advance and create a theoretical solution for each. Consider what will happen if someone is ill, or if parking is a problem at either end of the move. Regular communication with the client will help you build a clear picture of the property and its location, and this information should be fed into the strategy.

Although homes aren’t likely to have confidential documents or expensive IT systems, they will have prized personal possessions. Sentimental value can make some items irreplaceable and strong emotional attachments to objects may mean the homeowner finds it difficult to relinquish full control of the operation. During a business move, one person, normally the office manager, oversees the transportation and installation of the key items. This practice should be used for the items most important to the client, though all items should be given the same care.

Businesses have been using all-inclusive relocation specialists for many years, and it’s increasingly becoming a popular option among those moving home. They want one company who will provide a specialist packing service, move them and ensure their utilities are set up in their new home.

Whilst the commercial and domestic relocation sectors will always be distinct sectors, there is much they can take from each other to provide a streamlined service for their clients.
