Move offices without an IT scramble on day one
A free, print-friendly checklist that lays out the IT side of an office move week by week, from cabling and wifi to phone porting and the ISP lead times that catch everyone.
A free office move IT checklist for small business. Plan cabling, wifi, firewall, phone porting, and ISP lead times so your new space is ready on day one.
What you'll get
A practical, ready-to-use resource you fill in with your own numbers and keep. No expiring trial, no strings.
What the office move checklist does
An office move looks like a logistics and furniture problem until moving day arrives and nobody can get online. The IT side has a long tail of dependencies, and most of them are invisible until they are missing: the internet circuit that takes weeks to install, the cabling that should have gone in before the carpet, the phone numbers that have to be ported on a schedule.
This checklist makes those dependencies visible early. It walks the IT side of your move week by week, so the slow items get ordered in time and the fast items happen in the right order. The goal is simple: your team walks into the new space, sits down, and works.
A timeline that starts early enough
A T-minus-weeks schedule so the long-lead items, especially internet circuits, get ordered when there is still time, not the week you move.
Cabling and wifi done right
Guidance on structured cabling drops and the cabling category to spec, plus how many wireless access points your square footage actually needs.
Built for Alaska and Hawaii
A note on the shipping and circuit-install lead times that hit island and remote locations, so a hardware delay does not become a closed office.
A go-live and punch list
A cutover checklist for moving day and a post-move punch list, so the small things get caught before they become support tickets.
What is inside the checklist
- A T-minus-weeks timeline from first planning to go-live
- Structured cabling guidance, including drop locations and the cabling category to spec
- A wifi access-point count based on your square footage

- Phone porting and VoIP cutover steps, with the timing that keeps your number live
- ISP install and redundancy lead times, with a note for Alaska and Hawaii shipping
- A go-live cutover checklist for moving day

The slow items decide your move date
