Planning tips for this checklist
Treat IT as a separate move stream
Internet, phones, Wi-Fi, printers, monitors, security, and access systems often control whether the new office works on day one. Put IT cutover dates and owners next to the physical move tasks.
Label by destination, not current desk
Office moves go faster when boxes and equipment are labeled with the new floor plan, department, desk number, or room. Current-location labels are less useful once movers arrive at the new space.
Plan the first business day
The move is not done when trucks leave. Add a first-day checklist for supplies, seating, internet tests, signage, cleaning, trash, employee questions, and an issue log.
