Office Relocation Checklist for Growing Businesses

Six weeks before: Confirm your move date and book your movers. Start planning your new floor layout so desks, equipment and departments can be labelled to match on moving day.

Three weeks before: Notify clients, suppliers and service providers of your new address. Back up critical data before any equipment is disconnected. Assign an internal point of contact for the move — someone who can answer questions on the day without pulling in the whole team.

One week before: Label everything — desks, cabinets, equipment — to match the new floor plan. Confirm access at both buildings: loading docks, lift bookings, permits, and any after-hours access needed.

Move weekend: Schedule the physical move outside business hours if at all possible. A well-planned office move means your team can walk in Monday morning and get to work, rather than spending the first day hunting for their monitor.

After the move: Do a walkthrough to confirm everything arrived and is placed correctly, and flag anything missing or damaged immediately rather than weeks later.
