Request a driver Talk to operations

Assign one move lead and one backup. Then label everything in three groups:

• Critical day-one: routers, laptops, extension boards, admin files
• Operational: desks, chairs, printers, shelves
• Non-urgent: decor, archived files, extras

Use clear tags per department: admin, product, sales, operations.

Day 1 evening: tech and data safeguards

Before any physical move:

• backup shared files
• photograph current cable setups
• pack routers and adapters in one marked box
• pack one emergency office kit (chargers, tape, markers)

Most office move delays are tech setup delays.

Day 2 morning: controlled loading

Don't mix critical and non-critical items.

Loading order:

1. Non-urgent furniture
2. Operational equipment
3. Critical day-one kit (last in, first out)

This helps you start work quickly even before full setup is done.

Arrival sequence at new office

First 90 minutes should focus on business continuity:

• internet and power
• core workstations
• finance and admin desk
• team communication channel reset

After that, proceed with furniture arrangement.

Common office move errors

• no ownership of move coordination
• unlabeled shared equipment
• no cable documentation
• no priority unpacking order

These are process failures, not logistics failures.

Minimal downtime checklist

• Team informed of timeline
• Key assets packed and tagged
• Internet setup owner assigned
• One emergency work zone ready
• Post-move validation done by team lead
