Deciding to move an office is the easy part. Packing every desk, moving it all and then setting it up again at the new place is where it gets tiring. The right packers and movers take most of that off your plate, but finding a good office mover takes a bit of homework.
Start with a search for companies that list office relocation as a proper service, not a line at the bottom of a page. Read what they say about how they pack computers and files, and ask each one for a written quote.
A mover who does this often will know to label boxes by team, pack monitors and CPUs separately, and set up desks in the right order at the other end. That's what gets people working again on day one.
It's tempting to go with the cheapest number. Be careful. If a mover turns up late or packs badly, you pay for it in lost hours, and with a big team those hours add up quickly.
