A useful way through
- Name one move coordinator and a contact for the mover, building management and IT. List the tasks that must work on arrival.
- Inventory equipment and assign each item a destination code. Keep confidential records and portable valuables under an explicit chain of responsibility.
- Plan dependencies backwards from reopening: access, desks, network, power verification, devices and essential supplies. Ask the responsible qualified teams to handle technical work.
- Test a representative workstation before announcing normal operation. Record damage and missing items promptly under the mover’s written reporting process.

Put it into practice
If Monday support calls depend on a shared headset and a working network connection, those items go into a first-day kit. Decorative shelving can wait; the equipment needed to answer customers cannot.
Illustrative example, not a reported client project or test.

Before you act
Never erase equipment inventories or dispose of records as a shortcut during a move. Agree retention and secure handling with the organisation first.
