Planning an office move can be almost as
difficult as the move itself. Read on to learn
how to create an office relocation checklist
so nothing goes wrong.
Planning and executing an office move can be a daunting process — especially if you’ve never tackled one
before. Here, we show you how to stay organized, manage stress, and ensure a successful team transition
to your new space.
An office move checklist is exactly what it sounds
like: a manifesto for managing the relocation of
your business from one property to another. As you
might imagine, there are a lot of moving parts to
this process, especially for a mid- to large-sized
business with a substantial number of team
members (and all of their belongings!).
If you think of your office relocation checklist as
more of a high-level strategic plan rather than a
simple scratched list of “to do” items, it’ll be far
more likely to meet your needs for the smooth
execution of a complex process.

What Is an Office Move Checklist?

Your checklist should consist of a master
timeline, broken down into major milestones
— along with any related secondary or
subtasks — listed by date in descending order
leading up to the day of your move. You’ll
want to include notes on key team members
that should be looped into specific steps,
along with their roles and responsibilities for
the move. Consider using a shared document
system like Google Sheets or Microsoft
OneDrive so the members of your moving
team can collaborate on the document.
