Moving an Office in NYC: A Practical Guide

An office move affects your whole team and your customers. The goal is simple: move everything safely and get back to work quickly. Here is how to plan a smooth office move in New York City.

Start planning early

Give yourself at least a few weeks for a small office and more time for larger spaces. Pick one person to coordinate with the moving company and both buildings.

Learn the building rules

Commercial buildings often require a COI, loading dock reservations, and moves outside business hours. Get these details in writing from both properties.

Plan for technology

Back up data before the move. Have your IT team or provider disconnect and reconnect computers, servers, and networks, and schedule internet service at the new office in advance.

Label by destination

Give each desk, room, and department a code, and label boxes and furniture to match a floor plan of the new office. This makes unloading fast and organized.
