Moving your office without stopping the business
The goal is not moving furniture. It is that on Monday every person finds their desk working.
The real cost is the day you cannot invoice
In an office move the expensive part is not the truck. It is the hours when thirty people cannot work. So we plan the move against the company's calendar rather than ours, which is why most of them run from Friday afternoon to Sunday.
In practice that means the move is prepared over days and executed in a short window. Labelling, partial dismantling and file packing happen with the office running; the physical move is concentrated into the weekend.
Labelled by workstation, not by truck
Every box, chair, monitor and drawer unit carries the code of its destination workstation, and we walk the new floor plan with the company's contact beforehand. That way unloading does not end in a room full of anonymous boxes nobody can place.
Staff only need to empty their personal drawer into the box labelled with their name. We do the rest.
IT equipment and files
Computers travel in antistatic packing and are reconnected at the right desk. What we do not do is touch configuration: we coordinate with the company's IT team, who are the ones who must confirm everything came back up.
Physical files move in numbered boxes with a signed handover, because much of it carries retention obligations and you need to be able to show it arrived complete.
What it includes
- Technical survey of both sites and a phased move plan
- Work after hours and at weekends
- Labelling by workstation against the destination floor plan
- Dismantling and reassembly of modular furniture and workstations
- Antistatic packing of IT equipment and reconnection
- File relocation with a numbered handover record
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should planning start?
For an office of up to twenty desks, two or three weeks is enough. Above that, or with servers and files under retention rules, allow a month.
Can we move in phases and keep operating?
Yes, and that is the norm when stopping is not an option. Departments move over consecutive weekends, starting with whichever depends least on walk-in clients.
What about things we no longer use?
They get separated at the survey and decided before the move: storage, donation or disposal. Paying freight to move furniture nobody will use is inheriting a problem at the new site.
