What a setup covers

Nine workstreams from empty fit-out to live office.

Give us the keys and we give you back an office that works. Every cable, switch, desk, and dashboard installed, configured, tested, and written down.

Site planning

We work through the floor plan, count the equipment, and pressure-test your occupancy projections. Out of that comes a cabling diagram, a network design, an equipment room layout, and a written design with a statement of work attached.

Structured cabling

Cat6A or fiber to whatever the design calls for, with patch panels, equipment rooms, and AV runs. Everything tested and certified by an independent party rather than by whoever installed it, and the documentation stays on site where it is useful.

Network & WiFi

Routing, switching, firewalls, and wireless. A coverage survey happens before anything is signed off, so the far corner and the glass-walled conference room get real signal rather than just the open floor.

Server & storage

A server room on site or a cloud-first design, whichever suits how you actually work. Racks, uninterruptible power, environmental monitoring, and local backup storage where you need a copy in the building.

Microsoft 365 tenant

Building the tenant or migrating an existing one, setting up identity, provisioning mailboxes, writing the Teams policies, and putting conditional access in place. On the first morning people sign in and everything is simply there.

Workstation rollout

Laptops, desktops, monitors, and peripherals, either procured through us or prepared from what you already own. Imaged, enrolled, and hardened to your security baseline, with one waiting on every desk before anyone arrives.

Telephony & meeting rooms

Desk phones, softphone configuration, and conference room AV, whether that is Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or both. Tested on real calls with real people rather than by confirming a dial tone exists.

Security baseline

Endpoint protection, enforced multi-factor, patching, conditional access, and log collection. This is the least any new office should open with, and it is hardened before the doors do.

Day-1 verification

A vetted field partner is in the building on opening day with your project engineer directing remotely. Every workstation, printer, conference room, and phone gets tested before anybody needs it, and whatever people hit in the first hours is fixed as it happens.

Why GR IT for new-office setup

Four reasons clients trust us with the launch.

This is a project with a hard date, high stakes, and no opportunity to rehearse. Here is why we are good at it.

150+ USA builds

Volume buys pattern recognition. We have fitted out towers in financial districts, serviced offices taken on short leases, corporate space attached to a warehouse, and the awkward shell-and-core builds where nothing exists yet except a floor and a riser.

In-house engineers

Design, network, servers, Microsoft 365, and security are engineered by our own team. Physical work on site runs through vetted local field partners we select and direct, never handed off and forgotten. The same engineers who planned it support it afterwards.

Single contract, single throat

One statement of work, one project manager, one invoice, instead of five suppliers you have to keep in sync yourself. The trade is that we carry accountability for the entire IT outcome rather than for our own slice of it.

Continuity into AMC

Once you are open, the same engineers roll into your ongoing support agreement. They know the environment intimately, because they are the ones who built it.

Industries we set up

Setup profiles by sector.

Six shapes we see most often. The scale and the timeline change, the discipline does not.

New SME offices

Offices of ten to fifty people, cloud-first, running on Microsoft 365 with a straightforward network. This is the most common build we do and the fastest, usually four to six weeks.

Professional services

Law firms, accounting practices, and consultancies. Document management, secure access from a client site, the paperwork your regulator expects, and an environment an auditor can walk into.

Retail & F&B

Registers, kitchen display screens, guest wireless, card terminals, and building systems integration. The opening date is fixed by a lease and a marketing campaign, so everything is planned backwards from it.

Healthcare clinics

Patient-record systems, medical imaging, regulatory continuity, HIPAA-compliant environment. Built and audited before opening.

Schools & training

Classrooms, computer labs, staff offices, the parent portal, and testing systems. The cutover lands before term starts with student records already in place.

Satellite and branch offices

Standing up a new legal entity, integrating it with the parent company, federating identity and assigning licenses. The registration and filing work runs alongside the physical build rather than holding it up.

Turnkey vs piecing it together

Why one IT contract beats five vendors.

The usual outcome is five suppliers: one for cabling, one for the network, one for phones, one for Microsoft 365, and one for support. Compared honestly:

How a setup runs

From floor plan to live office.

Every build follows the same route: documented, evidenced, and delivered against a fixed date.
  1. 1

    Design

    1-2 weeks

    A visit to the site, a proper look at the floor plan, occupancy planned realistically, then the cabling diagram, the network design, and the equipment list. You receive a written design, a statement of work, and a schedule.

  2. 2

    Build

    2-8 weeks

    Cabling, equipment rooms, network hardware, and any server install. Sequenced against your fit-out so the field partners arrive after first-fix electrical and well before the furniture, which is the only window that actually works.

  3. 3

    Configure

    1-3 weeks

    The Microsoft 365 tenant, identity, the security baseline, workstation imaging, and conference room AV. Nearly all of it is finished before opening day, so people sit down to something that already works.

  4. 4

    Launch

    Day-1 + 2 weeks

    A vetted field partner in the building on the first morning with engineers directing remotely. Every endpoint tested. A check-in every day for the first fortnight. The project only closes once ticket volume settles back to normal.

Common questions

New-office IT setup, frequently asked.

A small office is comfortable at six to eight weeks before opening. Mid-size wants ten to twelve. A headquarters build wants sixteen to twenty. Most of that buffer exists because of cabling schedules and hardware lead times, so it compresses considerably when the equipment is already sitting in a warehouse.

We work directly with whichever fit-out contractor you have appointed so the sequencing lands correctly, while the contracts stay entirely separate. Our scope is everything on the IT side: cabling, network, equipment rooms, the AV that touches IT, Microsoft 365, the devices, and the security baseline.

No brand loyalty by default. Recommendations follow your budget, how you prefer to maintain things, and whatever standards you already hold. In practice that usually means Dell or HP for servers and workstations, Cisco or Ubiquiti for networking, and Sophos or Fortinet at the perimeter. Every choice comes with the reasoning written down, and the decision stays yours.

If you want us to. Procurement passes through at cost with a stated margin, typically between five and twelve percent depending on volume. The alternative is buying direct from your own supplier and having us install it. Both arrangements are common, and we will tell you which one works out cheaper for your specific equipment list.

Everything we install is IP based by default, whether that is Teams Phone, 3CX or whichever platform you already favor. We also handle the carrier side: trunk lines, circuit delivery and number porting, coordinated with your provider rather than left for you to chase. Plenty of mobile-first teams now skip desk phones altogether, and we will tell you honestly whether your usage profile justifies buying them.

An ordinary conference room gets Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms with a Logitech or Poly bar, a single HDMI cable, and a booking display outside the door. Larger rooms get dual displays, ceiling microphones, and camera tracking that follows whoever is speaking. Boardrooms are designed individually. Every room is tested on a real call before sign-off, not by confirming the screen powers on.

Two weeks of intensive post-launch support come as standard, run remotely with on-site visits arranged where something genuinely needs hands. After that most clients move onto an ongoing agreement with the same engineers staying on the account. Continuity matters more than people expect here: whoever built the office should be the one answering the phone about it.

You will hear straight away whether the date is achievable. The constraint is almost never our team. It is cabling certification windows, hardware in transit, or the fit-out schedule colliding with ours. We have opened offices in three weeks when it genuinely had to happen, and we have also told a client their five-week plan would not work and recommended opening in phases instead.
