Office move

Planning an office move: the guide to minimal downtime

02 June 2026 6 min

An office move is project management: IT, furniture, files, staff and deadlines all have to work together. The good news: with the right planning, your business stands still for hours, not days. Here's how to proceed.

8 weeks before: settle the basics

  • Set the moving date – ideally Friday afternoon to Sunday
  • Hire a moving company with office-move experience
  • Create a floor plan for the new location: who sits where?
  • Inform staff, customers and suppliers

4 weeks before: technology and files

  • Plan the IT move: servers, network, telephony at the new location
  • Inventory confidential files – transport in lockable containers
  • Define a labeling system: every box gets a room and desk number
  • Register old furniture and retired equipment for disposal

Moving days: scheduled, not chaotic

The move itself runs to plan: workstations are systematically dismantled, labeled, transported and reassembled room- and desk-exact at the new location. IT equipment is packed separately and connected first – so everything runs on Monday.

What does an office move cost?
