Office moves & fit-outs in Ellerslie
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 Ellerslie. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Ellerslie businesses
Ellerslie's office parks beside the Southern Motorway and around the train station house regional head offices, insurance and finance teams, engineering consultancies and health organisations, while the village and racecourse add hospitality and events businesses. Floor plates are larger and newer than in the inner suburbs.
Modern buildings here usually have structured cabling and a comms room, but tenants inherit whatever the last fit-out left behind: unlabelled patch panels, switches nobody owns and meeting rooms with screens that do not talk to Teams. Hybrid work means video meeting rooms, desk booking and docking stations are now part of everyday IT.
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.
Our technicians attend Ellerslie offices for fit-outs, meeting room setups and network work, and support staff remotely for daily issues. Moves and rollouts are scheduled and quoted in writing beforehand.
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.
Internet ordering
Fibre and a backup connection ordered early, with lead times tracked and chased so the line is live before move day.
Network build
Firewall, switches and Wi-Fi installed and tested at the new site before any staff arrive.
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.
Move weekend
Computers, servers, printers and screens labelled, packed, moved and reconnected, with each one checked against the plan.
Is it right for your Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie: questions
We inherited an untidy comms room from the last tenant. Can you sort it?
Yes. We trace and label the cabling, identify which equipment is yours, remove what is not needed and document the result so future changes are simple. The work is quoted before we start.
Can you set up our meeting rooms for Microsoft Teams?
We set up Teams-ready rooms with the right camera, microphone and screen for the room size, test them with your staff and keep them updated. Equipment and installation are quoted in writing first.
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.
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 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.
