The move of a company from Biopark in Gosselies to Axisparc in Mont-Saint-Guibert

The headquarters of a paramedical company found in Biopark in Gosselies wished to change in favour of Axisparc, next to Louvain-la-Neuve. The Maison Genné, specializing in moving companies , does this type of relocation, regardless of activity or size of the company. Here are the explanations on the progress of a professional move.

Moving a company: required preparation

Moving the furniture, computer equipment and employee documents require a careful preparation. The mover’s objectives are:

• To maximize the continuity of your professional activity, by moving at the end of week, Saturday included
• Keep your company’s internal and external communication: your clientele must be able to benefit from your services despite the upcoming or ongoing move. A break in contact would result in a shortfall for your company

Only the expertise of a professional accustomed to moving PME and industries allows an effective support. This includes steps spread out over several months before moving offices and the company:

• Visit the company to determine what should be packed and moved: company documents, I.T., or specific material. The move of medical or paramedical material present specificities. An internal relocation manager is appointed. It is a single point of contact for the mover and a relay to the staff members
• Development of site plans from the original site to the destination
• Meeting the personnel: the workflow (retro-planning) is presented to employees, as well as a colour coding system of the different boxes (cardboard boxes, plastic), with the possibility of cable ties to secure the content. The colours and codes determine which belongings have a daily use for each person, and where each person is located: which building, floor, room
• Some sorting advice is also given. No need to move documents whose header or logo has been changed, or archives that have been scanned. The confidential documents to be thrown out are placed in a sealed bag to be sent to be destroyed

Find your identical office in your new location

Are you moving into a new building or renovating? Often movers collaborate with companies who are in charge of the new office layout. The flexibility of your moving company allows you to support your overall project while taking care of the moving part.  

If the current furniture is to be reused in new space, the movers label each piece of furniture according to the site plan. The labels are designed for this and leave no traces of glue on the furniture: tables and office chairs, drawer units, storage cabinets, lockers.

This precise identification of the professional belongings allows everyone to leave their offices the last day (for example Friday), only to find it again Monday morning identically the way they left it, with cardboard and plastic boxes set next to you.

This attention to detail limits the inconveniences and stress linked to moving and allows you to quickly get right back to work.

Internal relocation of company offices

Some companies plan to move internally. Your certified mover provides, on request, a periodic company visits to move offices at the end of the work or renovations or the next step in the cleaning phase, for example.
