How We Move Offices: Our Process

Here are some of the things you can expect when hiring Hard & Fast to help move your office. Whether you need to hire office removalists in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, you can expect the same professional and methodical process for your business.

1. Office Walkthrough and Planning

For any large move, we begin by performing a detailed walkthrough of your current office. Ideally this happens in person, but if this isn’t feasible, then we will rely on you to perform a video or phone call so you can guide us through your premises.

During this walkthrough, we will discuss with you things like how many staff you will need for moving day, what kinds of large furniture or machinery will need moving, and if you have any delicate items that need extra-special consideration. By getting this information early on, we can create a detailed plan for moving day that takes everything into account. 

2. Organising and Packing

Every member of our team boasts exceptional organisational skills, which you’ll witness when we begin to collect and pack your office supplies on the day of your move. 

First of all, we only use the best packing supplies for all your possessions, including sturdy cardboard boxes, packing paper and even furniture blankets for larger items. If you don’t have boxes for us to use, you can purchase them from us and then keep them afterwards for use in your new office.

 

Our team knows how to pack office supplies safely so they can survive the moving trip in one piece. We can pack:

 

  • Work desks and office chairs
  • Computer monitors and hard drives
  • Computer accessories like mice, headphones, desk phones and cameras
  • Larger machines like printers and fax machines
  • Office kitchen supplies like fridges, kettles, toasters and dishware
  • Decorations like plants, signs, artwork and sculptures

 

Our team will sort, pack and label everything you need moved quickly and cleanly. We are quite used to packing while your business is still in operation, so you can continue to work almost right up until you leave the building for the last time!

 

3. Furniture Dismantling

Larger pieces of furniture, like desks, tables and cabinets, can be tricky to transport as they are. That’s why our team is trained to professionally dismantle and safely pack all types of large furniture. We can quickly take apart your office furniture, bundle it together safely and get it into our moving trucks much faster than your staff could on their own.

By dismantling your furniture, we can make sure that all your furniture arrives safely at your new office, ready to be put back together and settled into their new spots.

4. All Items are Packed on Trucks and Transported

How your office supplies are packed onto your moving truck can really affect their chances of making the journey unscathed. Our expert movers know how to safely load their moving trucks to make sure the weight is distributed evenly and all your possessions are organised neatly to prevent movement during the trip.

We offer a free cling wrap service to keep your larger items together, then use materials like packing blankets to cushion and protect your items during the drive. Our drivers will use a safe, direct route to your new office that doesn’t put your office supplies in any danger of excessive movements and damage.

5. Unpacking and Assembly at Your New Location

Once we have arrived at your new office, you can count on us to help you get set up. Our team will unload everything from the trucks, bring them into your new office and then unpack your things where you would like them. No matter if you need things set up in your kitchen, workrooms or meeting spaces, we can get them set up perfectly.

Remember how we talked about furniture disassembly? Well, don’t stress, because we can put all your furniture together too. Our team will assemble your desks, tables, office chairs and cabinets so they are ready to use on day one of your new work week.

What You Can Do to Help

We are proud to offer a full moving service that takes care of everything you need when relocating offices, but there are a few things we recommend you do to make moving day go more smoothly for everyone involved.

  • Clear out your old supplies before the move. Getting rid of old documents, broken or used-up office supplies and dated decor not only means less for us to pack and set up but is also a great opportunity for you to start afresh in your new space with modern and efficient supplies.
  • Empty storage-based furniture like refrigerators, filing cabinets and side tables. You won’t need to worry about the things inside rolling around and getting damaged, and it makes it so much easier for our team to dismantle them and pack them safely!
  • Organise your IT so it’s ready for day one. You can’t expect movers to connect all your systems, so make sure you have a plan in place to have all your computers and phones up and running so you can start work immediately.

Otherwise, feel free to focus on what is best for your business while we make sure all your office supplies are ready to go!
