OUR PROCESS

Our background of designing, implementing and moving large corporate filing systems has prepared us well for addressing the detail required to execute complex corporate relocations. Over the years our teams have become highly experienced in all aspects of office and warehouse relocations and churns.

 

Move Planning & Communication
Move champions are appointed and regular move meetings scheduled to facilitate a well communicated and planned relocation,
Move letters advising personnel of the move process and relevant dates are issued prior to the move,
Each individual is allocated a unique move number which is recorded on all items to be moved. This indicates an exact location at the new premises.
Desks, high density filing units and storerooms are labelled prior to the move so that boxes can be delivered directly to these locations.
Health & Safety requirements of both the client and the respective landlord are verified to ensure compliance
Accessibility to outgoing and incoming premises is also checked and access routes planned.

The Move
Relocations can be simple where only boxes and computers need to be moved or move complex where desking and stock items are included. Our move process is able to cater for any size or type of corporate relocation.

The relocation would include the following:

  • The systematic packing and unpacking of documentation and equipment if required,
  • The dismantling, relocation, possible reconfiguration and the reassembly of shelving and high density filing cabinets,
  • The decommissioning, wrapping, packing and crating of computers and IT equipment such as printers & servers,
  • Plastic bags to house each person's mouse, keyboard and cables, are issued to each person prior to the move.
  • Towers and screens are wrapped in bubble wrap and then crated for protection and security during transit.
  • The dismantling, relocation, possible reconfiguration and the reassembly of desks, boardroom tables, meeting room tables, training facilities, reception counters and joinery items.
  • Veneered and upholstered furniture is always wrapped for additional protection.
  • The relocation of chairs and soft seating,
  • The relocation of special areas such as the gym, the bar and the kitchen.

The Control Process
All boxes, crates and miscellaneous items such as whiteboards and dustbins are documented on delivery notes and signed out of the old premises by the client.
Once items have been placed at the new premises these again are received and signed in by the client. This eliminates any uncertainty as to what was moved.
For additional security both boxes and crates can be cable tied closed. Boxes can further be strapped closed.
Supervisors are constantly on hand through the relocation to assist the relocation team with the receipt of the moved items and their correct placement.

Handover
After each move, the Spacelabs team will sweep the floors for empty boxes, lids and all packaging material.
