Office Move IT and Telecom Checklist

Internet, phones and IT working on move in day, not three weeks later.

A new office with no internet on move in day is an expensive surprise. Fiber can take months to order, phone numbers have to be ported on schedule and alarm lines need a plan before the old ones go dark. Use the checklist below, or let us coordinate every provider for you at no cost.

  • Order dates for every service
  • One coordinator for every provider

The short answer

When should we start planning IT for an office move?

Start three to four months before move in, or as soon as you have an address. That is the time to check which internet providers serve the building and order fiber, since construction can take months. Cabling, phones and alarm lines come next, and number transfers are scheduled for move day. Testing comes last, then canceling services at the old location.

What we coordinate

One point of contact for every provider involved in your move.

  • Internet at the new address

    Every provider that serves the building, ordered early, with temporary 5G internet if fiber is not ready in time.

  • Phone numbers and phone system

    Your numbers ported or forwarded on move day, and a phone system upgrade if the move is the right time for one.

  • Cabling, Wi-Fi and network gear

    Low voltage cabling, Wi-Fi coverage and network equipment, planned with your IT team and contractors.

  • Alarm, elevator and entry lines

    Fire alarm, security, elevator and door entry lines moved or replaced, coordinated with your monitoring company.

  • Emergency addresses

    New 911 locations for every phone and user, so emergency calls send the right address from day one.

  • Closing out the old space

    Old services canceled on time, equipment returned and final bills checked, so you do not keep paying for an empty office.

Office move IT and telecom checklist

120 to 90 days before the move

  • Get the new address and suite number, and ask the landlord which providers already serve the building.
  • Read your current contracts for relocation terms, end dates and early termination fees.
  • Order internet for the new space. If the building needs fiber construction, this is the item most likely to run late.
  • Decide whether to keep your phone system or upgrade during the move.
  • Ask the landlord where the telecom room and building entry point are, and who controls access.

90 to 60 days before

  • Walk the space with your IT team or cabling contractor: network drops, Wi-Fi coverage, the network closet, power and cooling.
  • Order cabling, Wi-Fi and network equipment.
  • Plan meeting room technology and phones for shared spaces.
  • Find out which alarm, elevator and entry lines the space needs, and who provides them.

60 to 30 days before

  • Confirm install dates in writing for every service.
  • Order temporary 5G internet if fiber might not be ready.
  • Gather a recent phone bill and the account details your carrier needs for the number port.
  • Set up the new emergency (911) address for every phone and user.

The last 30 days

  • Schedule number porting or call forwarding for move day.
  • Test internet, Wi-Fi, phones, printers and card terminals at the new space before staff arrive.
  • Update your address on your Google Business Profile, website, invoices and directory listings.
  • Tell customers and vendors about the move.

Move week and after

  • Cut over the phones and confirm inbound calls ring at the new office.
  • Cancel services at the old address, return rented equipment and keep the return receipts.
  • Check the next two bills for charges at the old location.
  • Make sure your backup internet and battery backups work in the new space.

Three things that can delay a move

  1. Fiber ordered too late. If the building needs construction, a late order can leave you without internet on move in day.
  2. A rejected number port. Ports are delayed when the account details do not match your current carrier’s records, so we check them first.
  3. Alarm and elevator lines nobody planned for. Inspectors may need to see these working, and copper lines are being retired.

Signing a lease? Ask which providers serve the building before you sign. It is easier to plan around a building’s options than to fix them after you move in.

Sources

From options to installed, with one point of contact.

  1. Tell us what matters

    Share your locations, budget, current services and what isn't working. The form above or a short call is enough.

  2. Compare side by side

    We pull options from providers that actually serve your address and lay them out in plain English: speed, price, term and fine print.

  3. We handle the rest

    We coordinate ordering, installation and number transfers, then stay your point of contact after go-live.

Office move questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, call or text us.

Can we take our internet service with us?

Sometimes. If your provider serves the new building, it may move the service, but many treat a move as a new order with a new install date and sometimes a new term. Check your contract for relocation terms, and compare options at the new address while you still have leverage.

Will our phone numbers move with us?

Usually, if you stay in the same area. Cloud phone numbers move with you. Traditional lines may need to be ported to a new provider, scheduled for move day. A move to a different area can affect whether a traditional local number can follow you, so we check before you commit.

What if the internet is not ready by move in day?

We plan for it. A 5G connection can usually be installed in days and carry phones, email and cloud apps until fiber is live. After that it stays on as your backup.

Do we need new cabling?

It depends on the space. Older buildings may have outdated cabling, too few network drops or weak Wi-Fi coverage. A walkthrough 60 to 90 days before the move leaves time to fix it before furniture and staff arrive.

What about fire alarm and elevator lines?

If you own or lease the whole building, those lines are usually yours to handle. We find out what is installed, coordinate with your alarm monitoring company and replace any copper lines that are being retired, so the systems stay connected.

Do you charge to coordinate a move?

No. Coordination is free. Providers pay us when you sign up for new service through us. If a provider you already use can simply move your service, we will tell you.

Moving across town or across State Line Road

A move from Missouri to Kansas, or the other way, can change your providers, your taxes and fees, and whether a traditional local number can follow you. Even a move within St. Joseph or across the Kansas City metro can mean a building with very different fiber options. We check the new address early, so your move date drives the plan instead of the other way around.
