What an IT move covers

Eight workstreams, one project plan.

A move is more than packing PCs. We plan the new space, coordinate cabling, sequence the cutover, and verify everything works before your team walks in Monday.

Move planning

Site survey of source and destination. Asset register, cutover schedule, risk register, dependency map, day-of-move runbook. Everything in writing before anyone moves.

New-office cabling

Structured cabling, patch panels, equipment rooms, server racks. Cat6A or fibre per your spec. Tested and certified before any equipment goes in.

Network & WiFi

Routers, switches, firewalls, access points. Configured at our office, shipped pre-configured, mounted and validated on-site. Coverage survey before sign-off.

Pack & transport

Anti-static packing, custom crates for servers and racks, insured cargo. Move during weekend or after-hours; sealed inventory verified at both ends.

Server & data move

Cold-move with backup verification, or warm-move with replication and cutover. Cloud workloads stay running; on-prem stays down only for the planned window.

Microsoft 365 & cloud

Update Conditional Access for new public IPs, mailbox redirection if domains change, Teams device updates. Cloud is usually the easy part.

Decommission old site

Cabling stripped, equipment uninstalled, tenant-improvements removed per your lease. Asset disposal handled with certificates of destruction where required.

Day-1 verification

Engineer on-site Monday morning. Smoke test every workstation, every printer, every meeting room. Open tickets close as users hit them, not next week.

Why GR IT for relocation

Four reasons clients pick us for the move.

Office moves are high-stakes, low-rehearsal projects. Here is what separates a successful weekend cutover from a Monday-morning disaster.

200+ USA moves

Pattern recognition matters. We have done Manhattan-to-Brooklyn, Downtown LA-to-Pasadena, intra-state moves, interstate relocations, and the awkward consolidations of three offices into one.

In-house engineers

Network, server, M365, and cabling, all our own staff. We do not hand off to a removalist for the IT portion. Same team plans, packs, and reinstalls.

Written runbooks

Move runbook reviewed with you 7 days before the cutover. Day-by-day, hour-by-hour. No surprises Saturday at 11pm when the plan needs to flex.

Insured & accountable

Cargo insurance, public liability, professional indemnity. Equipment damage and project delays are on us, contractually, not on you.

Industries we relocate

Move profiles by sector.

Six common shapes. Tier and timing vary, the discipline does not.

SME offices

10-50 staff offices, single-site moves, weekend cutover. Most common profile and where Standard tier shines.

Professional services

Law firms, accountancies, consultancies. Document confidentiality during transport, audit-trail of asset chain-of-custody.

Retail & F&B

POS systems, kitchen displays, customer WiFi, payment terminals. We move the IT during your closure window, often a single overnight.

Healthcare clinics

Patient-record systems, medical imaging, regulatory continuity. PHI handled per HIPAA requirements; downtime communicated to patients in advance.

Schools & training

School year breaks are the move window. Classroom IT, server room, parent portal continuity, exam system migration before term starts.

Multi-site consolidation

Closing two offices and opening one. Asset rationalization, license consolidation, license-tracking through the move. The trickiest project shape.

Specialist IT relocation vs general removalist

Why IT moves need IT specialists.

Most general removalists handle furniture beautifully and IT poorly. The honest comparison:

How a move runs

From site survey to Monday-morning sign-off.

Every relocation runs the same path. Documented, evidenced, deliverable on a fixed timeline.
  1. 1

    Survey & plan

    1-2 weeks

    Site visits to source and destination. Asset register, cabling diagram, risk register, cutover schedule. Output: written runbook and SOW.

  2. 2

    Pre-move build

    1-3 weeks

    Cabling, network rooms, racks installed at the new site. Network gear pre-configured. Cloud workloads pre-migrated where possible.

  3. 3

    Cutover

    Weekend, typically

    Friday after-hours: backup, power down, disconnect. Saturday: pack, transport, reinstall, reconnect. Sunday: smoke test, fix issues, sign off.

  4. 4

    Day-1 support

    Monday + 5 business days

    Engineers on-site Monday morning. Open tickets close as users hit them. Daily check-ins for the first week. Project closes when ticket volume returns to baseline.

We moved 180 staff from Wall Street to Downtown Houston over a single weekend. By 9am Monday, every workstation, printer, and meeting room worked. The only ticket that came in that day was a request to re-pair a Bluetooth mouse. After three previous office moves with general removalists, this was the first one that did not cost us a productive week.
