THINGS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WHILE RELOCATING AN OFFICE
A tedious task like shifting a workplace needs proper planning, preparation and execution. A lot of steps are involved in the whole process of relocation from beginning to end.

- Experience
- Verified background
- Time taken for the relocation

- Weeks before final relocation call the service providers to the office to show them all the inventories that have to be shifted. This will help them to prepare the packaging material appropriately. Also ask them about the pre packing preparations to be done if any.
- Removing unwanted stuffs like furniture, machines, documents etc. should be done prior to the packing day.
