How Do You Plan an Office Relocation?
Planning an office relocation involves far more than moving desks and equipment. A successful move requires careful coordination, clear communication, and experienced support to ensure business continuity is maintained throughout.
At Universal, we help organisations plan and deliver office relocations of all sizes — from early-stage planning through to move day and post-move setup.
Key considerations when planning an office move:
- Understanding your current and future workspace requirements
- Establishing realistic timelines and phasing
- Identifying risks to operations, staff, and IT
- Coordinating furniture, IT, storage, and access constraints
- Ensuring compliance, security, and business continuity
Good planning reduces disruption, avoids costly delays, and gives your team confidence throughout the process.
Our approach to office move planning
- Dedicated move planners and project managers
- Detailed move schedules and phasing plans
- Coordination of furniture, IT, crate hire, and storage
- Clear communication with staff and stakeholders
- On-site management during move execution
This structured approach ensures your move is controlled, efficient, and delivered with minimal disruption.
Common office relocation challenges we help prevent
- Unexpected downtime or operational disruption
- Poor communication with staff and departments
- Incomplete planning of IT and infrastructure moves
- Delays caused by access, lifts, or building constraints
- Loss or misplacement of equipment and files
Proper planning avoids these issues before they arise.
