A Plano office move is judged on Monday morning: can people sit down and work? Plan backward from that login time, and the rest of the schedule follows.
Start from the Monday login
Decide which teams must be ready first, then set the loading and placement order around them. Reception, sales, and the server closet usually come before the break room.
Know the building at both ends
Offices around Legacy and along the Dallas North Tollway and SH-121 often have freight elevators, dock hours, and certificate of insurance rules. Ask both property managers what they require, and send us the names so the paperwork is ready before the date.
Who handles the technology
Your IT person or provider disconnects and reconnects computers, phones, and network gear. The crew pads monitors, protects cases, and places each workstation. Label cables and ports before the day so setup is quick, and keep passwords and small critical devices with a staff member.
Label for the new floor plan
- Mark desks and boxes with the new room or workstation, not only a name
- Give each department a color or letter so carts go to the right wing
- Tag files and records that must stay in your control
- Send the destination floor plan so the loading order matches the room order
Evening and weekend starts
Moving after hours keeps the office running, and it avoids rush-hour traffic on the tollway and Preston Road. Ask for the window early, and wait for written confirmation before you tell staff. Crews of three or four movers are common for a mid-size office, at our $190 or $225 an hour with a two-hour minimum.
