Office moves & fit-outs in Frankton
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 Frankton. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Frankton businesses
Frankton, just west of Hamilton's centre, grew around the railway junction and still mixes light industry, trade suppliers, workshops and transport businesses with a local shopping strip, health providers near the hospital and small professional offices.
Older industrial buildings here often have cabling added piecemeal over the decades, and offices attached to workshops cope with dust, vibration and equipment in unsuitable spots. Health-related businesses close to the hospital also need tight control over patient information on laptops and shared computers. Rail and road noise aside, the bigger daily risk is an unmanaged router shared by office and workshop alike.
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 Hamilton technicians come to Frankton offices and workshops for cabling, computers and networks, and support staff remotely for everyday issues. Any installation is priced 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.
Old site clear-out
Equipment removed from the old office, data wiped from anything left behind and internet services cancelled on the right date.
Internet ordering
Fibre and a backup connection ordered early, with lead times tracked and chased so the line is live before move day.
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 Frankton 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 Frankton: questions
Can computers survive in a dusty workshop office?
With the right choices, yes. Sealed or compact computers, a closed comms cabinet and regular cleaning during maintenance visits extend their life. We recommend suitable gear and placement after looking at the space.
Do you support small offices near Waikato Hospital?
Yes. We support health and professional offices around the hospital precinct with onsite visits from Hamilton and remote help, including securing devices that hold patient information.
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.
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.
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.
Do you install the cabling?
We design the network cabling and Wi-Fi, specify it and manage the installer, or do smaller low-voltage cabling jobs ourselves. Power outlets and any mains wiring are done by a registered electrician.
