Office IT Relocation

Move offices without losing phones, Wi-Fi, files, or momentum.

We coordinate the technology side of your office move across ISP lead times, cabling, network cutover, workstation staging, security systems, and day-one support.

  • Network mapped before furniture lands
  • Landlord, ISP, and vendor coordination
  • Staff support through the first business day
Lead-Time Risk

The IT move plan your office needs before moving day

Most commercial internet installs require 60 to 90 days of notice. If your move is inside two months, prioritize carrier escalation before furniture or hardware staging is locked in.

12-Week Cutover

A schedule for the work that cannot slip

Step 1

Discovery (Weeks 12–9)

Inventory, floor plan review, ISP order, vendor risk list.

Step 2

Build (Weeks 8–5)

Cabling, rack layout, Wi-Fi design, firewall and switch staging.

Step 3

Test (Weeks 4–2)

Internet handoff, VLANs, VoIP, printers, backups, access control.

Step 4

Cutover (Move week)

After-hours migration, desk setup, validation, and staff support.

Infrastructure Map

Everything that has to reconnect correctly

A move is not just transporting laptops. We plan the dependencies between internet, firewall, Wi-Fi, phones, printers, security systems, cloud apps, and end-user devices.

Network Core

The firewall, switches, routing, and network services everything else depends on.

ISP Handoff

Carrier install, building access, demarc handoff, failover, and live internet testing.

Wi-Fi Coverage

Wireless coverage, guest isolation, access point placement, and signal testing in the new layout.

VoIP Cutover

Phone-number porting, call routing, handsets, softphones, and post-cutover call testing.

Security Systems

Door access, cameras, alarm vendor coordination, and connectivity for physical security systems.

Cloud Access

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, VPN, and cloud app access validated from the new office.

FAQ

Common questions about office IT relocation

Lead times, what we coordinate, and what happens on cutover weekend.

6 results
CoverageHow far ahead of the move should we call you?

Twelve weeks is the comfortable window, because most commercial internet installs need 60 to 90 days of notice. Inside two months the carrier order becomes the critical path and everything else has to be sequenced around it.

CoverageWhat if our move is only a few weeks away?

We still help. The plan changes: carrier escalation and a temporary connectivity option come first, then cabling and staging are compressed around whatever install date we can secure. Tell us the date on the first call so we can be honest about what is achievable.

CoverageDo you coordinate the landlord, ISP, and cabling vendors, or do we?

We do. That coordination is most of the work — building access, demarc handoff, install windows, cabling crews, and the security and phone vendors. You get one point of contact instead of chasing five.

CoverageDoes the cutover happen during business hours?

No. The migration runs after hours or over a weekend so staff arrive to working desks. We stay on-site through the first business day for the issues that only surface once everyone logs in.

CoverageCan you keep our existing phone numbers?

Yes. Number porting is part of the plan and is scheduled early, because porting timelines are set by the carriers rather than by us. Call routing and handsets are tested before the first day in the new space.

CoverageDo we need to be a managed IT client to use this?

No. Office relocation is a standalone project. Many offices meet us this way and decide separately, after the move, whether ongoing support makes sense.
