Engineering & Architecture Firm Moving in Colorado Springs

Studios tend to move between deadlines. A permit submittal to the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, a bid set, or a client review usually fixes the date, and the studio needs its drawings in reach until that package goes out. We plan around the gap your principals choose, often a Friday afternoon into a weekend.

The heavy pieces decide the route. Before booking, we measure a flat file unit, the plotter, and the biggest plan table against doors, elevator cabs, and corners at both suites. Older downtown and Old Colorado City buildings often have narrow stairs or small elevators, which can mean moving flat files one drawer unit at a time. Newer offices along North Nevada Avenue and in Briargate usually offer a parking lot close to a back entrance. Any insurance certificate or elevator booking the landlord asks for gets sorted before the date is final.

Empty flat file drawers are light; full ones are not. We empty the drawers into labeled sheet cartons or flat portfolios whenever a stair or tight turn is involved, keeping each drawer's sheets together under its drawer number. On a level route with a freight elevator, drawers can stay loaded and strapped. Either way, units ride upright on padded dollies and are restacked in index order.

Sample boards and binders stay in shelf order. Models ride in the cab or in a padded, strapped corner of the truck, never under other cartons. The plotter moves only after your service provider parks its heads and removes the ink, and it rides upright and strapped. At the desks, the crew plugs workstations, large monitors, and docks back in; your IT contact handles file servers, CAD licenses, and the network.
