Store moves cannot be improvised, they are complex and delicate operations which require precise and meticulous planning. For this reason we advise you to rely on expert hands in handling any type of object, from the most fragile to the most bulky. On the other hand, the great variety of material present in a commercial activity requires proven experience, versatility and the ability to adapt to the needs of the moment which is not for everyone! The move of a commercial premises can present a series of unforeseen events that must be faced in an aware and professional way.
THE MOVE OF A COMMERCIAL PREMISES NEEDS PLANNING
There is no doubt: moving a shop, more than moving an apartment, requires an in-depth study of the operations to be carried out. An organized company succeeds in a short time and with working conscience in proposing a work plan made up of steps to be carried out in succession, rationalizing the resources and equipment available, optimizing times and assessing the risks.
Let’s start right from your shop…
First of all, it is important that the company you decide to rely on carries out an initial inspection of the shop from which the goods, furniture and anything else deemed necessary by the managers must be moved.
But why is it important?
- to decide which type of vehicles and machinery are most suitable for moving a shop, based on the volume and size of furniture, panels, and machinery to be moved
- to establish the type of packaging for fragile or particularly bulky material
- to understand what type of operation must be carried out before the others and, above all, by which skilled worker the task must be performed
- to quantify execution times, to complete the local business move
…to continue with the inspection in the new location!
It is also advisable for the specialized operators themselves to go, together with the managers of the commercial activity, to the new premises where the shop intends to move: it is important to evaluate the spaces and, above all, if the area is easily accessible to bulky vehicles. This is because a serious moving company chooses with prudence and opportunity the means of removal that it has available in its fleet. If we are in the historic centre, as in the case of moving a shop in Quebec, it is necessary to do so in time and make a formal request for access to the assigned area. In any case, the parking of vehicles of a certain size must be organized carefully: to unload and load the goods it is necessary to submit the request for occupation of public land.
A SPECIALIZED AND COMPETENT STAFF: A SOLID REFERENCE POINT
Moving shops is a delicate task, precisely because, in addition to the usual household goods to be transported, there is much more at stake than a few pieces of furniture or a few clothes. The move for shop involves the work activity of the individuals. Not only that: generally those who own a business bear the responsibility of many employees on their shoulders, who must be protected and accompanied with advice, facilitation in moving and in rearranging their working environment. This type of expedient can only be achieved through an effective work plan by specialized personnel, which takes into account the requests and personal needs of individuals.
IF YOU HAVE A SHOP, IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO WASTE TIME
“Time is money” is not a simple way of saying: often, respecting deadlines in a precise way allows an entrepreneur and his employees not to waste precious time and, in a commercial activity, time means substance! The staff works in the ethics of respecting the commitments made and distributes the work based on the skills: this type of approach speeds up operations and allows a quick and simplified return to work.
Evaluate with your trusted company when to move the shop…
It is often advisable to carry out a move at night, precisely because the streets are freer, it is easier to find parking and everything can be done in a short time.
Make sure that everything is insured!
Any serious and prepared moving company, which takes care of its customers, recommends solid insurance on the goods, to cover accidental damage: taking the unexpected into consideration is a wise attitude and avoids unpleasant economic losses.
