Office Moving Tips for a Business Relocation

Most of what causes an office move to run long traces back to a handful of predictable snags — a locked filing cabinet nobody remembered to secure, an elevator too small for a filing cabinet, an internet connection that isn’t live on day one. None of these are hard problems, but they only stay small if they’re handled on a schedule instead of the morning of the move.

Two Weeks Out: Get the Physical Space Sorted

Staff pack their own personal items — photos, plants, desk contents — since movers generally won’t take responsibility for these
Empty every desk, boxing documents and supplies in clearly labeled containers
Files can stay in cabinets, but drawers need to be locked or taped shut before moving day
Confidential records get flagged early so an escort or secure-transport arrangement can be set up if needed
Anything not moving — outdated equipment, unused furniture — gets cleared out now; less volume means a lower moving cost, and Allied can arrange approved dumpsters for larger cleanouts

One Week Out: Confirm Access and Equipment

Building access issues surface fast once a crew shows up without warning about them, so this is the point to lock down:

Stairwells, freight elevators, loading docks, and parking at both the current and new address
Elevator size relative to the largest pieces of furniture or equipment being moved
Whether external lifts or cranes are needed if an elevator can’t be used

Specific equipment needs its own prep:

Photocopiers get drained of all fluids before transport — check with the supplier for model-specific instructions
Computers get disconnected and dismantled carefully, ideally with IT supervision on both ends
Vending machines and water dispensers get fully emptied
Anything under a rental agreement gets flagged to the leasing company in advance

Moving Day: Connectivity Comes First

An office isn’t functional the moment boxes arrive — it’s functional once people can actually work. That means confirming, before the truck shows up:

The internet connection at the new address is live and tested
Phone lines and internal networking are active and checked
IT staff are on-site to handle final configuration, not troubleshooting from off-site later

Handled in this order — space, access and equipment, then connectivity — an office move avoids most of the delays that turn a planned week into an open-ended one.
