Not sure where to begin with a timeline for your office move? This quick timeline checklist should get you started:

8-10 weeks prior to move or earlier: finalize your office’s new lease agreement; this step involves tasks including:

• Finding new office space
• Identifying and negotiating the requirements and legal obligations of your new lease

8-10 weeks before the move: research professional moving companies and hire the best one for the job; assess qualifications, customers reviews and ask for quotes; it’s also a good idea to make sure they have experience in office relocations.

4-8 weeks before move: furnish the new office space and plan out the design and any necessary build-out; this timeframe can vary significantly depending on the office size
2-12 weeks before move: planning and enacting the relocation; this phase involves:

• Delegating tasks for packing up offices and moving
• Physically beginning the moving process—or allowing the moving company you hired to get started
