Start Early and Create a Timeline
Office moves require coordination across departments. Begin planning 60–90 days in advance and assign a move coordinator who will oversee communication between your team and your moving company.
Take Inventory of Furniture and Equipment
Determine what will be moved, what should be replaced, and what can be disposed of. For unwanted items, our junk haul-away service can help clear out old desks, chairs, or broken equipment.
Inform Employees Early
Clear communication reduces confusion and downtime. Let your team know:
-Expected downtime (if any)
-The moving date
-Any packing responsibilities
-New office layout and desk assignments
Protect Sensitive Information
Gather and secure important files, electronics, and confidential materials. Use lockable containers or have a designated employee manage secure items.
Label Everything
Clearly mark desks, boxes, monitors, cables, shelves, and office equipment. Proper labeling minimizes confusion when unloading into the new space.
Disconnect Electronics Properly
Computers, servers, POS systems, and phones need care. Take photos of cable setups before unplugging — this makes reconnecting much faster.
Prepare the New Space Ahead of Time
Before move-in day, ensure that:
-Furniture layouts are confirmed
-Utilities are active
-Internet is connected
-Floor plans are finalized
-Elevators or loading areas are reserved
