Office Shifting in Islamabad: A Simple Checklist to Cut Downtime

Moving an office is different from moving a house. Every hour of downtime costs you work, so the plan matters more than the truck.

Start 2 to 3 weeks before

1. Pick the moving date, ideally a Friday evening or weekend.
2. Give the movers a list of workstations, meeting rooms, server or network gear and storage.
3. Tell your internet provider and landlord about the new address and move date.

Pack by workstation

• Label each desk with a number and put the same number on the matching boxes.
• Take photos of cable setups before unplugging anything.
• Keep documents and hard drives with you, not on the truck.

Protect IT equipment

• Back up data before the move.
• Pack monitors and computers in their own boxes or padded wrap.
• Move servers and network gear last and set them up first.

Cut downtime

1. Ask the movers to work after hours or on a weekend.
2. Set up the reception, internet and the main work area first.
3. Keep one person at the new office to direct the crew.

What to ask the movers

• Do you give a written quote with crew size and truck size?
• Can you dismantle and refit workstations and partitions?
• Is there any cover if something is damaged?
