A Fort Myers office relocation needs a plan for the first working day at the new address. Start with the desks, files and shared areas that must be ready, then coordinate packing and transport around your business hours. Frank & Sons can assess the physical move while your staff and technical vendors prepare their parts.
Survey the old and new office together
Create a destination floor plan and assign a code to each room or workstation. Mark furniture that stays, moves or goes to storage. Record stairs, elevator dimensions, loading doors, parking limits and the route from the vehicle. Ask both property managers for current rules and certificate requirements; access at one building does not guarantee access at the other.
Keep IT responsibilities explicit
Your IT provider should arrange backups, shutdown, disconnection, reconnection and testing. Label equipment according to its instructions and keep account credentials out of cartons. Discuss the physical transport requirements for servers and other sensitive hardware before moving day. Equipment needing calibration, licensed installation or specialist servicing should be assigned to the appropriate provider.
Project checklist
- Give employees a packing deadline and clear desk instructions.
- Plan an essentials area for supplies needed immediately.
- Confirm whether after-hours access and staffing are available.
- Keep a record of items held for later delivery.
- Inspect furniture placement before the crew leaves.
Build a realistic project budget
Budget for crew time, transport, packing, disassembly, agreed setup, storage and any after-hours premium. Repeated deliveries can add handling and travel costs. Ask for a project estimate based on workstation counts and access rather than applying a national residential average.
