Identify critical IT, files and workstations that must be unpacked first, and label every department and destination zone before loading.
Build a move team and responsibility list
Assign one internal coordinator for management, IT, records, furniture and the moving company. One decision path reduces confusion on move day.
Create a department-wise inventory
List workstations, monitors, printers, files, furniture, networking equipment and special assets. Mark items that will not move.
Plan IT separately
- Back up business-critical data.
- Label cables and devices by employee or workstation.
- Coordinate server/network shutdown and restart.
- Keep sensitive storage devices under controlled custody.
Use a destination map
Number rooms, desks and departments at the new office. Match the same codes on cartons and furniture so unloading is not guesswork.
Move in a recovery sequence
Items needed for reopening should be accessible first: networking, key desks, essential files, customer-service systems and basic facilities.
Check building access in advance
Confirm goods-lift timings, loading-bay access, parking, security permissions and weekend restrictions at both buildings.
Post-move verification
Use the inventory to verify key equipment and furniture, then prioritise IT testing and customer-facing operations before non-essential unpacking.
