Office moves & fit-outs in Onehunga
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 Onehunga. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Onehunga businesses
Onehunga combines a busy town centre on Onehunga Mall with industrial and logistics businesses along Neilson Street and nearby Te Papapa, where manufacturers, importers and trade suppliers operate close to the motorway and port links. Professional offices and retail cluster around the mall.
Firms near Neilson Street often run warehouse and office side by side, with freight and inventory software that needs a dependable connection and scanners that need solid Wi-Fi. Town centre businesses tend to be smaller, with a few computers, cloud accounting and a router that has not been touched since it was installed.
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.
Onehunga businesses get technician visits for warehouse, office and shop work, with remote help for daily requests. We plan site visits around trading and dispatch hours.
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.
Old site clear-out
Equipment removed from the old office, data wiped from anything left behind and internet services cancelled on the right date.
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 Onehunga 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 Onehunga: questions
We're a small importer with a warehouse and a few office staff. What do we need?
Typically a business firewall, Wi-Fi that covers the warehouse, managed laptops with backups and secure Microsoft 365. We start with a health check of what you have and recommend changes in priority order.
Is it worth having a backup internet connection?
If losing the internet stops orders, dispatch or payments, it usually is. A mobile backup that switches over automatically is affordable for most small sites, and we confirm the signal at your premises before quoting.
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.
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.
