Do you move companies on the weekend?
Yes, most of our relocations happen after-hours,
either evenings or weekends. Total cost will be lower and the impact
on your business will be minimal.
Is it more expensive to move after-hours?
No, it's actually cheaper. We do charge more on
an hourly basis, but the efficiency of not competing for loading
space and elevators keeps the cost down.
Do you move PCs?
Yes, in fact, OMI Tech Services team not only move them, we now help
approximately 60% of our customers with disconnecting and reconnecting
the PC's, allowing our clients' IT staff to concentrate
on the overall system.
Can you move our data center/server room?
Yes, we plan the relocation of this time sensitive
equipment to minimize downtime. Frequently, we provide a special
crew and a "hot truck" to complete the movement of this
delicate equipment both efficiently and safely.

monitors, can you handle them safely?
Yes, we have developed a system to first bubble
wrap the monitors and move them in a computer bin with dividers
keeping the flat screens immobile during transport.
Can
you provide help with preliminary packing and unpacking?
Yes, we can help pack anything in your office, but
typically we assist with common area files, libraries and storage
rooms.
This is my first move, how can you help me plan?
We will assign an experienced Project Manager to
work with you and your staff throughout the planning and operations
stages of the project. In meetings prior to the actual moving, our
Project Manager and our move team will help plan all aspects of
the project in detail and educate your personnel as to their roles.
What is your "estimating" process?
We first have one of our Account Managers visit
your space to determine your needs. We then prepare a comprehensive
proposal detailing what we will do, when we will do it and the cost.
Our Account Manager will present the proposal to you and answer
any questions. Once you have determined we are your best choice,
the Account Manager will bring in the Project Management Team to
solidify planning the relocation.

project, we will provide a guaranteed completion time subject to
an agreed-upon self-imposed deadline penalty - often as much as
$500 per hour.
How do you handle last minute changes?

respond to challenges both quickly and efficiently with a minimum
of disruption to the move schedule.

a labeling system to identify the office and even the exact placement
of all items. Just prior to the move, the PM will placard the new
space with floor plans for each office and directional signage allowing
the efficient placement of all items.

Do I need to hire a move consultant to manage
the move?
Depends. If you're only considering a consultant
to manage the actual move process, then you may be wasting money.

to end. But if you need a consultant to help with space planning,
furniture purchases, phone purchases, etc., then a relocation consultant
could be invaluable.
