Office moves are won or lost in the planning phase. A 30-seat office takes 2–3 days to physically execute well, but the 6 weeks of prep before is what determines whether your team is productive on Monday morning. Here's the checklist we share with every business move.

6 weeks before — strategy

  • Finalise the new lease and confirm the fit-out completion date
  • Form an internal moving committee — one lead per floor or department
  • Inventory every asset above ₹10,000 — desks, monitors, servers, AV gear
  • Notify clients of the address-change effective date

4 weeks before — vendor

  • Get quotes from three verified office movers
  • Confirm the vendor's transit insurance covers electronics and servers
  • Schedule the move outside business hours where possible — most office vendors offer night and weekend slots at no premium

2 weeks before — IT

  • Confirm internet provider migration at the new site
  • Photograph every desk's cable setup — this saves 4+ hours at reinstall
  • Back up everything; treat the move as a disaster-recovery drill
  • Label every monitor, dock, and peripheral with the user's name

1 week before — communications

  • Email staff a one-pager — pack list, what to bring on move day, new seat plan
  • Update Google My Business, your website, and email signatures
  • Order new keycards and access fobs

Move day

  • One committee member at the old site, one at the new site
  • Server racks move out last and arrive first
  • Test everything before the vendor crew leaves

Typical pricing

Local office moves run ₹1,500 – ₹2,500 per seat. Intercity moves with packed-up servers and conference equipment run ₹3,500 – ₹6,000 per seat depending on distance and crating needs.
