Technology is the first thing employees need on move-in day. Start planning early,
since internet service installation alone can take weeks.

**8–12 weeks before**

– Confirm the move date and floor plan

– **Order internet service** for the new location, ideally two connections for redundancy

– Assess the new space: power, cabling, network closet, and Wi-Fi needs

– Schedule a **Wi-Fi survey** if possible

– Decide what moves and what gets replaced

– Notify vendors, and plan phone number porting

– Update the IT budget

**4–8 weeks before**

– Design the network and order equipment

– Arrange **structured cabling,** and confirm testing

– Plan the server room or network closet: rack, power, cooling, and UPS

– Update the inventory of every device and where it will go

– Create a **desk and room map** with network ports and equipment needs

– Plan printers, phones, displays, and meeting-room technology

– Update your address in accounts, services, and DNS records where needed

**2–4 weeks before**

– Confirm internet circuit installation date

– Pre-configure network equipment, firewalls, and switches

– Back up everything, and verify restores

– Label cables, devices, and boxes

– Communicate move instructions to staff: what to pack and what not to

– Arrange movers experienced with IT equipment

**Move weekend**

– Power down systems in the right order

– Transport servers and sensitive equipment carefully

– Set up the network first, then servers, then workstations

– Test internet, phones, Wi-Fi, printers, and key applications

– Keep a punch list of issues

**First week after**

– Provide on-site IT support

– Resolve problems quickly

– Update network diagrams and documentation

– Confirm backups and monitoring work

– Securely dispose of old equipment and cancel old services

**Common mistakes**

Late internet orders, undersized network closets, missing cabling, and no testing
plan.
