Office relocations are complex projects that touch every aspect of your business — your team, your technology, your clients, and your operations. Businesses that treat commercial moves as a logistics problem usually experience disruption. Businesses that treat them as a full project usually do not. Here is our 30-day master checklist.
30 Days Out - Notify all clients and vendors of your upcoming address change - Arrange for mail forwarding and address updates with Canada Post - Audit all your equipment and furniture — what moves, what gets replaced? - Book MoveMaster Pro and schedule a pre-move site visit
21 Days Out - Develop an office layout plan for the new space - Order any new furniture that needs to be delivered to the new address - Begin updating your address with banks, suppliers, and government agencies - Arrange for IT infrastructure setup at the new location
14 Days Out - Brief your team on the move plan and their specific responsibilities - Begin packing non-essential items and archives - Confirm parking and loading dock arrangements at both buildings - Obtain certificates of insurance if required by building management
7 Days Out - Pack all personal desk items - Label all equipment and furniture with destination location codes - Back up all critical data and systems - Confirm schedule with MoveMaster Pro coordinator
Move Weekend - MoveMaster Pro crew arrives — usually Friday evening or Saturday morning - All packing complete before crew arrives - Supervise loading and document any pre-existing damage - Oversee unloading and initial setup at new location
Post-Move (Week 1) - Test all technology and connectivity - Confirm everyone has received their equipment and personal items - Update your Google Business Profile, website, and social media - Send a formal address change notification to your full contact list
