Office moves & fit-outs in East Tāmaki
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 East Tāmaki. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for East Tāmaki businesses
East Tamaki is one of New Zealand's largest industrial and business areas, stretching along Springs Road, Ti Rakau Drive and Harris Road, with manufacturers, importers, distributors, engineering firms, printers and trade wholesalers. Most premises combine an office at the front with a warehouse or factory behind.
Office-and-warehouse buildings here need networks that serve two very different spaces: cabled desks and meeting rooms up front, and Wi-Fi strong enough to reach handheld scanners between tall racking out the back. Many sites also run CCTV, access control and production machines that should sit on their own network segments, and dispatch stops if the internet drops, so a failover connection earns its keep.
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.
East Tamaki is close to home for our Auckland technicians, who visit for warehouse Wi-Fi, cabling, CCTV and office computers. Everyday issues are fixed remotely, and site work is planned around shifts and dispatch.
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.
Network build
Firewall, switches and Wi-Fi installed and tested at the new site before any staff arrive.
Internet ordering
Fibre and a backup connection ordered early, with lead times tracked and chased so the line is live before move day.
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.
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.
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 East Tāmaki 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 East Tāmaki: questions
Can you design Wi-Fi for a warehouse in East Tamaki?
Yes. We survey the building with the racking and stock in place, then position access points for the aisles and loading areas where scanners are used. The design and installation are quoted in writing before we start.
Should our CCTV and production machines be on the office network?
No. We separate cameras, machines and office computers into their own segments behind a managed firewall, so a vulnerable device cannot be used to reach your accounts or files.
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.
What if the internet isn't ready in time?
We plan a fallback, usually a temporary wireless or mobile broadband connection, so the office can open even if the fibre install slips.
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.
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.
