Downtime. Lost revenue. An angry boss. These are just a few of the results of a poorly managed commercial move. Don’t trust your commercial relocation to just any mover.  Here are questions you should know the answers to before selecting a commercial mover.

1. Do you provide a detailed relocation plan that outlines manpower requirements, timing and workflow analysis needed to successfully accomplish the relocation? Successful commercial moves are about planning.  If your mover can’t provide evidence of a detailed planning process, be wary.
2. How many relocations of this size has your company done and can you provide a list of current satisfied customers? Check their credentials!
3. What is your qualification process for hiring employees? See if they put new hires through drug screen tests and background checks.  Companies with a rigorous qualification process hire the most competent employees.
4. What type of insurance coverage does your company carry? Companies who carry the maximum insurance coverage will not be a liability to your company if something were to happen on the job.
5. What experience do you have in handling sensitive electronic equipment, including PCs and servers? Look for companies with specific experience moving critical IT equipment.
6. Describe your experience in handling modular furniture. It takes experience to efficiently break down and put up modular furniture configurations.  Look for detailed responses that provide clear evidence of experience.
7. What post-move services do you provide? Post move services are usually defined in a detailed relocation plan.  Look for companies that work with you even after the move to assure that you and your employees are 100% satisfied.
