An office move involves a surprising number of parties: the landlord and fit-out team, removal company, internet and phone providers, cabling and AV contractors, printer and equipment suppliers, your IT provider and, of course, your staff. Each of them does their own part well. What’s often missing is someone who supervises the whole technology side and ties it all together.
That’s the role I take on: independent supervision of your office relocation. Because I’m independent, I’m not selling you a removal service, a broadband package or new hardware. I’m on your side, making sure every piece fits, on time.
Start with a discovery call. Tell me about your current office, the new one and your timeline, and I’ll propose how I can help.
Planning
I’ll work with you to map out everything the move touches: internet connectivity and its lead times, network and Wi-Fi, desks and meeting rooms, printers, phones, AV, security and access. The result is a clear plan with owners and dates, so the long-lead items (connectivity in particular) are ordered early enough.
Coordinating suppliers
I’ll be the single technical point of contact for your suppliers, oversee their work, check that what they’re delivering matches what you need, and keep everyone working to the same plan.
IT equipment and desks
Every laptop, dock, monitor and accessory needs to arrive at the right desk and work on day one. I’ll set up a clear inventory and labelling system, plan who sits where, and organise how equipment is packed, moved and reconnected, using my own Asset Manager where it helps: a web app where anyone can scan an item’s QR label with their phone camera, with nothing to install.
Move day and after
On move day I supervise the IT side of the move, then check that every workspace is reconnected and working. Afterwards, the same inventory carries on as your day-to-day asset register, so you always know what you own and where it is.
Example: a Dublin technology company
I recently supervised the technology side of an office move for a Dublin technology company: around 50 workspaces and more than 350 labelled items, from laptops and docks down to chargers and keyboards. Every item got a colour-coded QR label and was tracked through each step of the move, from its old desk to its new one.
