Do you want to move your office to the city? Do you want to move your company’s furniture and furnishings from Quebec to other Italian provinces? Then keep reading, because in this article you will find valuable information about office moves, especially in the city of Quebec but not only. To help you better organize your moving plan, we have divided the things to know into five groups, each of which focuses on the answers to the different questions that our customers first ask themselves and us. Let’s see them in random order.

1) OFFICE MOVEMENTS ARE ALSO DONE AT NIGHT AND ON WEEKENDS

The main doubt when moving the office concerns the forced stop of the activity. How can you work without a physical place available? In reality, the move of offices, in Quebec as in all of Canada, can take place without any problems during the weekend, or on Saturdays and Sundays, and even at night. In this way, precious hours of work are avoided, with the added benefit of not causing inconvenience to any offices and shops located in the same building.

2) THE BEST INSURANCE FOR OFFICE MOVEMENTS

An aspect that is too often underestimated is that of insurance. Moving an office means moving objects of a certain value from one place to another, such as furniture, computers, printers, paintings, sculptures… It is therefore good that the moving company offers, in addition to the carrier policy, also liability insurance civil in case of damage to things or people during transport.

3) BUREAUCRACY, PERMITS AND ROAD SIGNS

Another point to know about office moves concerns the bureaucratic part relating to permits and documents. In fact, to park vans and trucks, a request for occupation of public land must be submitted to the competent municipality, in this case the municipality of Quebec. Furthermore, at least 48 hours before the move, special warning signs must be positioned along the street or in the square.

4) EQUIPMENT FOR THE TRANSPORT OF BULKY OBJECTS

Many offices house machinery and bulky objects such as safes, photocopiers, refrigerators, vaulted cabinets, aquariums and so on. Moving these objects requires specific equipment, such as the Pianoplan robot to climb the stairs safely or the aerial platform to easily carry the dismantled furniture to a height. Added to this are the vans, which must be equipped with tail lifts, pneumatic suspensions and protective padding.

5) MAXIMUM TIMELINES FOR OFFICE MOVEMENTS

Finally, we come to the general timing, another crucial issue that every entrepreneur and professional wants to settle as soon as possible. Reconnecting to point 1 of this list, we can say that the move of offices is one of the fastest removals, as the disassembly of the furniture, the packaging of the goods, the loading, the transport, the unloading and the relocation are operations to be carried completed overnight or over the weekend depending on the size of the office.
