Moving an office requires commitment, patience and a minimum of organisation. There are many aspects to know and evaluate and it is important to clarify your ideas before starting. It is not just a question of establishing the cost: for an effective move, it is good to understand what the permits are, the precautions to be taken and the incentives to aim for. Knowing the rules and opportunities means saving money and better managing your office move from start to finish, avoiding unnecessary risks and waste of time. If you too are about to face a move and want to orientate yourself in advance, we advise you to continue reading the article and find out everything there is to know about a move of this type. Let’s start with the indicative costs.
INDICATIVE COSTS FOR AN OFFICE MOVE
The first point that a professional would like to know concerns, as is natural and right, the costs of the move itself. These are calculated by the company that takes care of the service and therefore the movement of the furniture based on various factors and variables, among which we mention by way of example:
– number, weight and dimensions of the furniture to be moved
– distance between starting point and arrival point
– accessory storage or furniture modification services
– transport costs by ship for international removals
– costs of special machinery and equipment
Based on our experience, we can state that the indicative cost for an office move varies between 500$ and 4,000$, this for national moves in the south, center and north, excluding the islands. For foreign destinations it is inevitable that the cost will increase, so it is good to evaluate whether it is better to move the office or sell everything and buy back what is needed in the new destination. In any case, we recommend that you always submit a request for an estimate to our attention, so that we can calculate, without any commitment, a free and fast quotation, even online.
WHICH PERMITS YOU NEED (ZTL, CONDOMINIUM, ETC)
As far as permits are concerned, it all depends on the moving scenario that arises. There are offices located in independent buildings, others that share the building with apartments or commercial establishments for which the utmost respect must be observed. Added to this is the question of the ZTL or access to restricted traffic areas in the historic city centres. Finally, we must then consider the public land occupation permit, a document that is required where there is a need to park a van or an aerial platform for several hours along a street or in a square. Pay attention to the authorizations because failure to comply with these could lead to sanctions by the municipality concerned or by the bodies responsible for access control. Here you will find an article in which we delve into the topic of risks for a move without authorization.
