Office moving

What is different about an office move

• Downtime. Every hour without computers costs money, so most office moves happen in the evening, overnight or at the weekend.
• IT equipment. Computers, monitors, printers, server racks and UPS units need proper packing and a clear unloading order.
• Weight. Full filing cabinets and safes are much heavier than they look.
• The building. Office buildings usually have loading hours, a freight elevator that must be booked and limited truck parking.

How to plan it

1. Appoint one person on the office side to own the move.
2. Map the new office and mark in advance where every workstation goes.
3. Label every box and item with the employee or department and the destination.
4. Arrange the freight elevator, loading hours and parking with both buildings.
5. Back up all data before servers and computers are disconnected.
6. Decide who reconnects networking and IT — usually not the movers' job.

How to book on MoveIL

The request form has an office equipment category — desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers, monitors, printers, server racks, UPS units and whiteboards — so the office can be described item by item. Add floors and elevator, tick services such as packing, disassembly and assembly, and give your preferred hours in the notes. Movers price the full job, not a phone estimate.
