What's moving
Office and desks
Desks, chairs, screens, comms, files
The function everybody thinks they understand. It is not the furniture that makes it difficult — it is that thirty people have to be able to work on the other side of it.
What makes this one different
The desks are trivial and the technology is not. Screens, docks, cabling, a comms cabinet and whatever is in the server room are the parts that decide whether anybody can work, and they need a plan and an owner rather than a box marked "IT".
Everything has to land in the right place. A desk that arrives in the right building but the wrong position is a desk somebody has to move again, and doing that thirty times is most of a lost morning. Numbering desks to a floor plan before the move is the entire solution and it is routinely skipped.
Files are a liability. Personnel records, client files and anything with personal data in it need a chain of custody rather than an open crate on a trolley. Where that matters, it needs agreeing in writing before the move and not mentioning on the day.
Offices in CR4 are frequently above something else — a unit, a trade counter, a shop — which means shared stairs, a single goods route, and somebody else’s business inconvenienced while you move. That is a scheduling constraint as much as an access one.
What we do about it
Number desks and crates to your floor plan so everything lands where it is supposed to
Handle screens, docks and comms as a separate, planned strand rather than as part of the furniture
Move confidential files in sealed, numbered crates with a signed handover at both ends where you need one
Work around the businesses you share a building with, including outside their trading hours where that is the only way
Most commonly got wrong
Moving the furniture beautifully and leaving the technology in a pile. The measure of an office move is whether people can work, not whether the desks arrived.

Moving office?
Stock, desks, plant or a counter — and where both units are. We will want to see the two yards before we put a number on it, because that is the only way the number means anything.
