Outgrowing your office space is a fantastic sign of a healthy business. When it’s time to stop converting coffee tables into desks, the next step is to find a suitable space for your needs. Understanding how your IT infrastructure will fit in your new space can be complex, which is why we work with you every step of the way to identify potential risks and find practical solutions.
It’s not as simple as unplugging and re-plugging of cables. There’s plenty to think about during an office move, from the grand scheme of how things should be set-up, to small details such as whether you will keep your existing phone numbers.
We work closely with the movers who take the fridge and the office plant, to ensure that all equipment is packed securely and handled with care.
We also understand that change can be sensitive for staff undergoing a move. Therefore, we plan in a way that will have the least disruption possible to your business, for example by scheduling the move to take place on a weekend.
With years of experience, we guide you through the process, planning to avoid potential problems and managing potential risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Being informed as early as possible is always recommended, especially as every case has different challenges and requirements.
For an office with less than 80 staff, the IT planning should usually be started 3-5 months in advance, with onsite activity starting 2 weeks before. It could be much longer, though, depending on the readiness of the new office site.
The shorter timeline you give yourself and your contractors, the more stressful the project will be and most likely the higher the price will be.
For a basic office set up with less than 50 people, the IT relocation can take place over a single weekend.
