That's why Muscular Moving Men's commercial moving services include move coordinators who can help you deal with the logistics of moving, well beyond our core service of transporting items from one place to another. For example, we can help you transfer services to get your communications and technology set up. Large projects with multiple buildings take more than some guys and a truck, they take careful orchestration to ensure everything gets moved in an orderly manner with the right equipment. Your business move needs to follow a strict timeline to minimize or eliminate downtime, and professional commercial movers get the job done. 

Our project coordinators and movers are well trained and experienced. This should knock down your to-do list to a manageable size: 

• Inform your employees well in advance of when you plan to move, when they need to pack their personal items, whether they need to transfer or back up any files, and when they'll be expected at the new location. 
• Orient your employees to the policies at your new location, if they've changed (for instance, if there's a security code or different parking rules). 

• Let your customers know when and where you'll be moving. Set autoresponses for any closures you anticipate. Promote your new location with opening day sales, or send your clients a gift with a reminder and invitation to visit your new office. 
• Be creative and think about how you want to design the new space to improve workflow and promote company culture. Our coordinators have experience moving a variety of businesses and are happy to share industry best practices that we've seen.

• Packing file boxes - If they have file cabinets full of files, then they should transfer the files from the cabinets to a file specific box in the order that they were originally arranged in, whether it was numerical or alphabetical. This way, when the file cabinets are set up in the new place of business, the files can easily be transferred right back in without becoming disorganized. Each box should be carefully marked, especially if the files include confidential information.[br][br]
• Packing desks - This is a good time for employees to sort through their desks. Everything that's not needed should be donated or tossed. Everything should be cleared from the surface of the desk as well as from the drawers. Let your employees know how much space they will have in the new location so that they know if they have room for personal items. They may want to take their personal items home and wait to see how much space they have once they get set back up in their new office space.[br][br]
• Backing up information - Employees should consider backing up the information on their computers. While their computers should make the move without incident, it's better to be safe than sorry. Backing up their information on an external drive or on a secure cloud if it's available is their best bet.

These are some of the things your employees should be doing when your company plans on moving. If you're planning to relocate your business to Phoenix or away from Phoenix, be sure to contact the certified office movers at Muscular Moving Men.

• Reduce the risk of damage - Professional movers have the equipment and training needed to carry properly, load, and transport heavy office furniture and equipment without damaging them or damaging the surroundings (such as the walls, floors, elevators or doorways). Professional movers will also use special moving techniques and materials to ensure that everything is properly loaded and secured on the moving truck during transportation.
• Professional movers can provide moving advice - A reputable mover will be able to give you advice on how to prepare for moving day so that you and your employees can remain organized and on task. This will reduce downtime for your employees and streamline the process on a moving day.
• Professional movers are quick - Limiting the amount of downtime during the move is important. The longer it takes, the more time your business is effectively stalled. Professional movers will help you get set up quickly so that you can get back to business.
• Professional movers have valuation coverage - Reputable commercial movers are fully covered under valuation protection in case anything is damaged or lost. This provides coverage for the cost of repairs or replacements that you would otherwise be responsible for.

If you are in need of a professional moving company to move your office, then you'll want to make sure you work with a mover that has earned this certification. The following are a few reasons why hiring a Certified Office Mover is to your benefit:

• Estimate accurate prices - IOMI teaches movers a special formula that helps them to accurately estimate moving costs. A Certified Office Mover will be able to calculate a base estimate that's based on the time needed, movers needed, trucks needed, man-hours, volume and logistics. This formula allows us to make more accurate estimates for moving your office so that you can plan for costs appropriately.
• Reduce the risk of damage - By regularly taking IOMI training to maintain our certification, we learn the latest moving techniques to minimize the risk of damage to your computers, furniture and more while also protecting against the risk of damage to carpeting, doors, doorjambs and walls.
• Reduce your downtime - The longer it takes to move your office the more downtime your business will experience, which can hurt your company's bottom line. We can reduce downtime with special moving techniques, such as boxless moving, which allows us to move contents in your furniture instead of having to pack those contents separately.

As a newly Certified Office Mover from IOMI, you can expect a safe, efficient and successful office move with us. For information on scheduling an office move, be sure to contact us at Muscular Moving Men today.

Moving a business from one place to another is no easy task. Not only do many businesses have to move specialized equipment as well as their inventory of products, but they also have to inform their vendors and customers. Most importantly, when you move your business, you need to minimize downtime as much as possible.

The cost and logistical challenges of relocating your business may seem like too big of a headache to deal with, but there are several reasons why relocating might be well worth the effort in the long run. The following are three such reasons:

• Give your brand a makeover - When you first lease commercial space, you need to make the most of venture capital. By the time you've grown enough to consider moving, you might be open to more options. Choose a space that reflects your brand and its values, and consider updating other aspects of your image. When you're literally moving, you're already in a good mindset to implement changes.[br][br]
• Expand your business - A new and bigger space may allow you to invest in more equipment and more employees, making it easier for you to grow your business. Let people know you're in the neighborhood to make new professional connections as well as drawing in new customers.[br][br]
• Improve your company's efficiency - When you first started your business, you probably built it as you went. You've discovered what works and what doesn't through trial and error. Some remnants of what didn't work might still occupy your old space. Plan out your new space ahead of time to maximize efficiency. For example, create an open floor plan for your office to promote teamwork or set up equipment to improve your workflow.

As you can see, there are a number of benefits to relocating your business that can make the challenge of moving well worth the time and effort. For information about our commercial moving services and to schedule a move, contact us at Muscular Moving Men today.
