Office moves & fit-outs in Mt Wellington
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 Mt Wellington. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Mt Wellington businesses
Mt Wellington runs from the Sylvia Park retail precinct to large business parks along Mt Wellington Highway and the Sylvia Park Road area, home to distribution centres, head offices, building product suppliers and service companies. Offices range from modern office blocks to warehouses with a mezzanine office.
Companies here often have a mix of corporate-style office space and operational areas, so the network has to handle staff laptops, warehouse scanners, CCTV and meeting room gear without one getting in the way of another. Separating those into their own network segments, with a firewall that is actually managed, is a common first improvement.
Office moves tend to surprise people in the same few ways. Fibre for the new building is ordered a fortnight before the move and turns out to need a new lead-in from the street. The fit-out builder runs data cables to the wrong desks, or not at all to the meeting rooms. The comms cupboard has no ventilation. And on Monday morning nobody can print because the copier still points at the old network.
Technicians visit Mt Wellington offices and warehouses for networks, Wi-Fi, CCTV and computers, and resolve everyday requests remotely. Larger projects are quoted in writing and scheduled around operations.
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.
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.
Day-one support
A technician on site the first morning, checking every desk, meeting room, printer and phone and fixing problems as they appear.
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.
Network build
Firewall, switches and Wi-Fi installed and tested at the new site before any staff arrive.

Office moves & fit-outs in Mt Wellington: questions
Our CCTV, scanners and office PCs are all on one network. Should they be split up?
It increases risk and can slow things down. We separate them into their own network segments behind a managed firewall, so a compromised camera cannot reach your finance computers and heavy traffic in one area does not affect another.
Do you install CCTV for business sites?
Yes, we install and maintain business CCTV systems as low-voltage work, including recorders and remote viewing set up securely. Each installation is quoted in writing after a site visit.
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.
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.
