Office moves & fit-outs in Botany
The furniture is the easy part of moving offices. The internet connection that takes weeks to install, the cabling that has to go in before the ceiling closes and the network that must work at nine on Monday are where moves go wrong. We plan the IT side from the first floor plan to day one.
Onsite technicians cover Botany. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Botany businesses
Botany is centred on a large town centre at the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Te Irirangi Drive, with retail, medical and dental clinics, immigration and education advisers, accountants and real estate offices in the surrounding commercial buildings. Many businesses serve the diverse communities of East Auckland.
Practices here often work in more than one language and use specialist software alongside Microsoft 365, so devices need the right language and keyboard settings and staff need clear help when things go wrong. Advisers who handle passports, visa files and financial records must keep that information private, with encrypted devices and secure document storage.
We get involved early, ideally when you are still choosing a building. We check what internet services are available at the address, tell you how long they take and order them as soon as the lease is signed. We mark up the floor plan with data points, Wi-Fi access points, screens and the comms cupboard, and give the builder and electrician a clear specification to work to, before any walls go up.
Technicians come to Botany offices and clinics for setups, networks and hardware, and we fix most requests remotely. Onsite visits are booked around client appointments.
What's included
Building check
Before you sign, we check internet availability, existing cabling, the comms cupboard and phone and mobile coverage at the new address.
Day-one support
A technician on site the first morning, checking every desk, meeting room, printer and phone and fixing problems as they appear.
Builder and electrician coordination
We work with your fit-out team so data cabling, power for equipment and ceiling access happen in the right order.
Cabling and Wi-Fi design
Data points, access point positions and the comms cabinet marked on the floor plan, with a written specification for the cabling installer.
Internet ordering
Fibre and a backup connection ordered early, with lead times tracked and chased so the line is live before move day.
Old site clear-out
Equipment removed from the old office, data wiped from anything left behind and internet services cancelled on the right date.
Is it right for your Botany office?
Bring us in early if:
- You are choosing between buildings and want to know the internet options
- A fit-out is starting and the builder needs a cabling plan
- Your move date is fixed and the internet hasn't been ordered yet
- You are expanding into a second floor or another tenancy
- You want staff working normally on the first morning in the new office
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Office moves & fit-outs in Botany: questions
Can you set up computers for staff who work in more than one language?
Yes. Windows and Microsoft 365 support many languages and keyboard layouts, and we set each person's device up the way they work while keeping security and updates consistent.
We handle immigration documents for clients. How should we store them?
In secure cloud storage with permissions set by role, not in email attachments or on desktops. Add multi-factor sign-in and a tested backup, and lost laptops stop being a privacy risk.
How much does an office move cost?
It depends on the number of staff, the state of the new building and how much equipment is moving. After a site visit we send a written quote that lists each stage, so there are no surprises.
Should we buy new equipment for the move?
A move is a good time to replace ageing switches, Wi-Fi or a tired server, because the work is happening anyway. We'll tell you what is worth moving and what isn't.
Can we keep working during the move?
Most moves are done over a weekend or after hours. Email, Teams and cloud files keep working throughout, and the new office network is ready before staff arrive.
How early should we involve you?
As early as possible, and at least two to three months before the move. Business fibre can take several weeks, longer where a new connection to the building is needed, and cabling has to be planned before walls and ceilings are closed.
