Office Relocation Checklist for Vancouver Businesses
An office move has more moving parts than a home move — staff, IT, furniture, clients and downtime all have to be managed together.
This checklist keeps your business relocation organized from planning to first day in the new space.
8–12 weeks out: plan
- Confirm the new lease and floor plan
- Set a moving date (ideally over a weekend)
- Assign an internal move coordinator
- Get a commercial moving quote (request one here)
4–6 weeks out: organize
- Inventory furniture, equipment and IT assets
- Plan the new desk and department layout
- Notify clients, vendors and update your address everywhere
- Arrange IT for disconnect/reconnect of servers and workstations
1–2 weeks out: prepare
- Label everything by destination (desk, room, department)
- Have staff pack their own desks into labelled crates
- Back up critical data before anything is unplugged
- Confirm building access, elevators and loading bays at both ends
Plan your office move. Low-downtime commercial moves, evenings and weekends available.
