New Office IT Setup
Opening or moving an office involves internet lines, cabling, network, Wi-Fi, laptops, printers, phones and meeting rooms, all needed on the same day. We coordinate the IT side of the move from first plan to the morning staff walk in.
- One coordinator for all IT work
- Internet ordered early to avoid delays
- Staff productive on day one
New office IT setup is the planning and delivery of everything technical a new or relocated office needs on its first day. It covers internet lines, cabling, network, Wi-Fi, firewall, laptops, printers, phones and meeting rooms, coordinated with landlords and fit-out contractors so staff can start work as soon as they arrive.
New Office IT SetupNew Office IT Setup: what it involves
Office moves often go wrong on the IT side. Internet lines are ordered too late, cabling is forgotten until ceilings are closed, printers arrive without drivers and meeting rooms have screens but no way to join a call. Several suppliers each handle one piece, nobody owns the whole picture, and staff lose their first days in the new office to problems that could have been planned out.
We build an IT plan alongside your fit-out schedule and own it through to go-live. That covers ordering internet lines early, designing cabling and network, installing Wi-Fi, firewalls and switches, preparing laptops and accounts for new starters, setting up printers, phones and meeting rooms, and moving existing equipment. On moving day our engineers are on site, and afterwards the office joins our support desk.

Common New Office IT Setup mistakes
Telecom installation is often the longest lead item, so order lines as soon as the lease is signed.
Late IT input means missing outlets and comms rooms without power or cooling, so involve IT in the design.
Problems found on day one stop everyone working, so test the network and key systems beforehand.
Rooms without working screens and calls frustrate staff and clients, so include them in the plan.
