LABELING SYSTEMS AND ROOM LAYOUTS

Office Moving Services

Labeling is the most important part of the pre-move phase. Each employee or work area will be assigned a number and color. Moving tags will have to be affixed to all items to be moved. Your move consultant will instruct your staff on the proper method of affixing moving tags to furniture, boxes, cabinets, etc. We will also supply “DO NOT MOVE” tags for furniture and effects not included in the relocation.

In addition, we will train your personnel, during a pre-move planning meeting, to help you create furniture layouts for each office/ work area to ensure proper placement of items within areas and avoid “double-handling”. We can provide for you, for that “Peace of Mind”, any of the following:

• Expert packing and unpacking services
• Custom cartons and labels provided
• Artwork and glass are packed and handled in special picture carts
• Fragile items will be handled as necessary to assure proper movement

PRE MOVE PLANNING AND ONSITE TRAINING CLASSES.

The sales person or Project Manager will hold a Pre-Move Training class. Several days prior to the move, at the Training classes, each employee receives instruction on what to move and where to tag items. This Free onsite class gives information about the move, new location plans, box labels, and instructions on how to pack, and what to pack. Should questions or problems arise, we include extensive “who to call” lists and make ourselves available via phone or email. Throughout the move, we’re on-site, roaming the facility to answer questions and soothe rattled nerves.

In these on site workshops, with your key personnel, we will discuss general move preparations:

• Packing
• Tagging
• How to pack glass and other breakable items
• What to pack first
• Special needs

• Arrange for changes on letterheads, envelopes, invoices, statements, business cards and your website. This is an excellent way of revising or modernizing the way customers view your company.
• Contact your current utility companies and make sure that everything is ready at the new location before move-in day.
• Contact appropriate vendors to service your computers, copiers, and any other processing equipment before the move.
• Review all insurance requirements with your current and future properties.
  Allow EDC MOVING SYSTEMS to conduct a move class for your key employees.
• Label all the items in each office to coordinate in which office they will go into at the new location. Each employee should pack his/her office to avoid misunderstandings.
• Create a floor plan for the new location; make sure that the Supervisor of the move has a copy to create a smoother move.
• Provide employees with an orientation of the new facility. This is good time to offer guidelines of any new procedures or company policies.

COMMERCIAL MOVING – LIBRARY – LABS – DATA TAPES & COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

To assure the secure and timely relocation of files, folders and books, lab equipment, EDC utilizes specialized Library carts and wooden gondolas. This specialized equipment will minimize the time it takes to move these items. We have extensive experience in handling large file/ book, and lab moves.

The following is an example of how EDC will create an efficient file/ library relocation plan for your company:

• Project Manager will meet with your records management personnel to analyze filing system and review floor plans at your new location.
• Project Manager will assign colors to departments using floor plans at destination.
• Project Manager will assign a number to each file cabinet or bookcase within a department. This number will be placed on the library cart that will hold the contents of the cabinet.
• Project Manager will assign letters to the individual shelves. Individual shelves are marked A-D or A-F (top to bottom).
• All packing of files onto library carts will be done from “left to right” and unpacked at the new location from “left to right”.
• All library carts will be shrink wrapped after they’re packed for safety and protection.

Lab moves can be facilitated in the same manner. Just think shelves instead of files. Items can be placed the same way and transported whether on a file cart or gondola

EXPERIENCED MOVING PROFESSIONALS

Training classes are a vital part of our everyday existence here at EDC. Whether we have a new employee or a new experience, we train the movers before they show up at your move. The educated mover delivers a stress free move. EDC holds weekly Training classes with all employees. Guest speakers are often brought in to teach a specific area of Safety and working with customers.

EDC is located in four major cities. We have locations in Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. Each location deals with special situations and requirements that are unique to each city. EDC has developed specialized training that applies to each Location.
Training our people is a directive set by the President of our Company and requires weekly reports to him to confirm that each office is meeting their training requirements.
