Frequently Asked Questions
How long will we be down during an office move?
With proper planning, most businesses experience 24-48 hours of downtime or less. We typically schedule moves over a weekend or after hours so you can be operational Monday morning. Some businesses even maintain partial operations during the move by setting up critical systems first. DIY moves often result in 1-2 weeks of downtime due to unforeseen issues and learning curves.
Do we need to move everything ourselves or do you handle that?
We coordinate the entire IT relocation process but work with professional moving companies for the physical transportation. We handle all IT-specific tasks including planning, packing IT equipment, labeling, overseeing the movers, setup at the new location, cabling, configuration, and testing. General office furniture and supplies are typically moved by the moving company. This division ensures both IT equipment and office items are handled by the right experts.
When should we start planning our office move?
Start planning 4-6 weeks before your move date, or earlier for large offices. This allows time to survey the new space, order internet service (which can take 2-4 weeks), install cabling, order any new equipment, and plan the logistics. Rush moves are possible but reduce planning time and increase stress and costs. The more time we have to prepare, the smoother your move will be.
What happens to our internet and phone service during the move?
We coordinate with your internet and phone providers to install service at the new location before the move. Internet service typically takes 2-4 weeks to provision, so we order early. We schedule installation and test connectivity before moving any equipment. For phone systems, we either relocate your existing system or install a new one. Many businesses transition to cloud-based phone systems during a move for easier future relocations.
Should we upgrade our network infrastructure during the move?
Office moves are an excellent opportunity to upgrade infrastructure. Since we're installing new cabling anyway, upgrading to Cat6A or fiber costs little more than Cat5e. We can also improve WiFi coverage, upgrade to faster internet, consolidate servers, or transition to cloud services. We assess your current setup and recommend cost-effective improvements that make sense for the new space.
How do you protect our equipment during the move?
We use proper packing materials and techniques for IT equipment. Servers go in their original boxes or custom crates with anti-static protection. We label everything systematically so we know exactly where each piece goes in the new office. Hard drives and sensitive equipment get special handling. We also take photos of cable connections before disconnecting to ensure proper reconnection. Our goal is zero equipment damage during the move.
What if something doesn't work when we arrive at the new office?
We test everything before your employees arrive. Our team arrives early on the first day to verify all systems are operational. We also provide on-site support throughout the first day (and beyond if needed) to immediately address any issues. Having experienced IT professionals on-site ensures quick resolution of any problems. This is why our relocations achieve 100% day-one operational success.
Can we keep some operations running during the move?
Yes, for larger offices or businesses that can't afford complete downtime, we can plan a phased move. We might move one department at a time, setup critical servers first before moving workstations, or maintain cloud/remote access during the transition. We can also setup a temporary infrastructure at the old location for mission-critical operations. The approach depends on your specific needs and budget.
How much does IT relocation service cost?
Costs vary based on office size, equipment quantity, distance, and complexity. A small office (10-15 people) might cost $3,000-$7,000 for full IT relocation services. Medium offices (20-50 people) typically run $7,000-$15,000. However, compare this to the average $8,000 per hour cost of IT downtime. Professional IT relocation usually saves money by minimizing downtime, preventing equipment damage, and avoiding costly mistakes that DIY moves often encounter.
