The planning period and physical move duration depend on the inventory, access, technical dependencies and agreed sequence. Confirm a schedule for your scope rather than relying on a universal office-size timetable.
Separate planning from transport
Planning includes building approval, inventory, destination readiness, IT arrangements, packing and the move sequence. Physical transport is one stage of that work. Tell us about a lease deadline or reopening target as soon as it is known.
Identify what controls the schedule
Dock and elevator windows, the furniture system, the number of destinations and specialist equipment can all affect the plan. The building checklist helps identify access dependencies. Availability and planning time are confirmed in writing after the scope is reviewed.
Let IT approve the outage window
Your IT owner should set shutdown, backup, reconnection and testing responsibilities. Use the NIST contingency planning guide as a recovery-planning reference. A weekend or after-hours move does not by itself guarantee uninterrupted service.
Confirm the workday sequence
Agree the packing deadline, arrival windows, department order, delivery layout and handoff contacts. Review changes before adding work. A project is ready for reopening when the responsible business and technical owners accept the required services, not simply when the truck is unloaded.
