Although the pandemic has impacted many areas of life, life must go on and that includes moving, and even commercial moves we are prepared to move safer. Learn how Three Rivers Commercial Moving take safety and precaution during the COVID-19 era.
If you have a lease ending or if a move is necessary to maintain or elevate your company or business, it is important to thoroughly plan in order to reduce the stress and risks of moving during the pandemic.
Ideally, three to six months before your move, planning should commence. Set the moving date and moving budget to avoid overspending. It is a must to review your commercial property lease – take note of balances, deposits, and corresponding fees in case of damages during the move. It is also helpful to create a moving committee to lay out detailed tasking and plot a date when to inform internal and external parties about your upcoming relocation.
Make an inventory of everything you plan to move. Layout your new space based on the detailed floor plan. Then determine whether you need to place orders for new furniture or equipment.
Select a moving company that can thoroughly assist you through the process – like Three Rivers Commercial Moving company in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Plus, we can offer no-contact moves, which are best in this time of uncertainty. Lock in a date, make sure to know their policies and discuss best practices for moving day.
Transparency is very important. According to the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA), if you are in a high-risk group with many employees over 60 years of age, with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions or compromised immunity, it might be prudent to postpone your move if possible.
If personnel or someone from an employee’s household is self-isolating after being exposed, or may have contracted the virus, inform your moving company. In many cases, they will still work with you, but will employ additional safety protocols to protect their workers.
Since the coronavirus can live on surfaces like cardboard, avoid using recycled boxes from other sources, disinfect furniture, boxes, and other items before loading. It is also advisable to have your packages untouched at least 24 hours before the movers arrive. Make sure that your moving crew has hand-washing supplies and sanitizer available.
Moving is not an easy task, and the stress has only been doubled during this pandemic. The moving industry is taking steps to observe health protocols to safely assist clients amid the challenges.

Hiring a commercial mover can make things much easier.
If you try to handle a the entire move by yourself, it can quickly become overwhelming and difficult. It takes comprehensive planning, hard work, packing, hauling, and often, even shutting down normal business for a day or two before finally settling in a new location.
Life doesn’t always have to be difficult however, there is a great way to save yourself time, and a lot of hassle in a situation you’re not very experienced with. Hiring expert, professional commercial movers brings with it a host of benefits and can turn a stressful move into a smooth operation.
If you think moving on your own will save you more money, think again. The physical and mental demand for a big move is high. A lot of preparation is needed, from planning to execution. Asking your employees to help is out of the question as well, as they are not trained and could pose an insurance liability, as well as the fact that they have their normal work to do. When you hire professionals, they can do all of the things that you might now even think of, allowing you to keep your focus where it belongs — on your business.
Not only will you save time and effort when you hire experts, they can also assure the safe moving of equipment and belongings. Moving and relocating fragile furniture and equipment is a skill that is not easily mastered. Expert movers know how to move with ease and protection. They also implement systems to make sure everything is organized and accessible to make sure nothing will be lost or damaged.
Your belongings will be protected by the mover. But in case of accidental damage or injury, you don’t have to worry, as it will be insured. Furthermore, if you are having your employees moving equipment, god forbid they sprain an ankle or accidentally hurt themselves in the process. Moving companies carry additional liability and insurance coverage that your business not have.
Without professionals, you will need to rent suitable vehicle transportation for the move. But reliable commercial movers provide for all your moving needs – from packing supplies, crates, and trucks. They provide carts for moving heavy items in and out, and they are efficient. Your employees won't have to lift a finger.
It may take a longer time than expected to move on your own considering the effort needed to haul and settle in your new location. When this happens, you may need to close your business for even longer than a day or two. When you hire qualified professionals, moving doesn’t need to be a long drawn out affair, it will be as efficient and quick as possible.
By hiring a reliable moving company, you will have peace of mind and can spend more time on running your business than coordinating moving. Before you know it, your company will be up and running in your bigger, better office space.
