Why Hire a Project Manager for your Next Office Move?
Whether you have outgrown your current office space, found a new location in a more desirable part of town, or have another reason, moving your business can be an exciting, yet overwhelming prospect. While you likely want the move to happen efficiently as possible, you also likely do not have the ability to stop focusing on business operations to oversee the process. The following are a few of the many reasons why you should consider hiring an experienced project management company to facilitate your office move.
Moving can take time, energy, and money
You might think that an office move can happen overnight, but in reality it often takes weeks or months to prepare the new space and complete the move. The new office should be carefully designed and set up so when employees finally transition to their new space, they can do so with little interruption in their workflow. A project manager (PM) will dedicate the necessary time and energy to the move while you continue running your business. While you may be hesitant about the cost of hiring someone, remember that a skilled Project Manager will have resources and connections to facilitate your move in the most cost-effective way possible, so you can actually end up saving time and money.
There are many aspects of an office move
From rehabbing the space to setting up IT networks to purchasing and moving furniture, an office move requires attention to many different aspects and coordinating with many different parties. A project manager will understand how to coordinate laborers, movers, and IT workers, as well as any key internal players who should be involved and can serve as the point of contact for all of those involved. The PM will be physically present to ensure all steps taken in the new space are satisfactory.
Providing expert opinions
While you may not believe that having a project manager is that important, many clients realize after the fact that a quality PM is worth millions. Having an expert help you through the process of Move Management, Office Liquidation, Asset Management, or any other process of relocating/moving people and furniture/equipment is an invaluable asset. The project manager focuses on the process of completing the project, allowing you to focus on your business.
