Best Way To Make Your Commercial Office Move in Tampa Go Smoothly
22 Jan 2015
So…you’re moving….
If you’re like many business owners or office managers here in Tampa tasked with coordinating an office move, you’ve got a lot on your plate. Believe us – we know!
We understand that moves – whether internal in your current office space, within the building or across town – can all be a bit frustrating and potentially overwhelming.
Here are a few quick tips to make your commercial move go more smoothly
# 1 – Location
If you’ve not already done so, you’ll want to identify an area of Tampa Bay that you’d like your new office to be located.
- Westshore?
- Downtown Tampa?
- St. Pete?
# 2 – Commercial Realty Company
From there, depending on the size of your organization, you’ll want to either begin talking to building owners or commercial real estate representatives.
If you’re a smaller group, you may be able to deal directly with a building owner. The larger you are (and the more employees you need to relocate) it probably makes more sense to find a commercial realtor that knows the Tampa market, knows how to assess your want and requirement and who will act in your best interests.
Here are a few local Tampa commercial realtors:
- Grimaldi Commercial Realtors
- Colliers
- Property Pro
- Florida Gulf Coast Association of Realtors -FGCAR for a look at many local firms that can help you when you need to find new office space.
# 3 – Commercial Movers
Once you’ve identified a place to move to you’ll want to begin talking to a Tampa commercial moving company so they can best assess your needs for your move. Is it just a move? Will furniture need to be disassembled and then reassembled and installed in the new location?
# 4 – Fix it Firms?
What about work that may need to be done to the new space (or alterations to the space you’ll be vacating)? Do walls need painting? Does the floor need repair, carpeting or new tiles? Does the old space need repair work done to meet your lease obligations?
Connecting with a contractor or other service provider will be needed. Your commercial realtor is also a great resource for you for these services.
