Office moves & fit-outs in Takanini
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 Takanini. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Office moves & fit-outs for Takanini businesses
Takanini has grown from farmland into a mix of new housing and business parks along Great South Road and near the Southern Motorway, with trade suppliers, distribution, manufacturing, automotive businesses and service companies, plus new retail and medical centres for the growing population.
New business units here usually arrive with fibre but little else, and owners often fill them with whatever router and Wi-Fi the internet provider supplies. Setting up a business firewall, proper Wi-Fi for the workshop or warehouse, and CCTV on its own network at the start avoids rework as the business grows.
Then we run the move itself. Equipment is labelled and shut down cleanly, the network is built and tested at the new site before staff arrive, and on the first morning a technician is there walking the floor, checking every desk, printer and meeting room. The whole project is quoted in writing first. A week later we check in again to tidy loose ends, update your network documentation with the new layout and make sure the old premises have been fully cleared of equipment and data.
Technicians come to Takanini sites for new setups, networks, CCTV and computers, and handle everyday requests remotely. New premises work is quoted in writing first.
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.
Move weekend
Computers, servers, printers and screens labelled, packed, moved and reconnected, with each one checked against the plan.
Day-one support
A technician on site the first morning, checking every desk, meeting room, printer and phone and fixing problems as they appear.
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.
Is it right for your Takanini 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 Takanini: questions
We're moving into a new unit in Takanini. What should the IT include?
A business firewall, Wi-Fi that covers the office and workshop, enough data points, a small comms cabinet and, if needed, CCTV on a separate network. We plan it with you and quote before work starts.
Can our CCTV be viewed from our phones securely?
Yes, set up properly through the manufacturer's secure app or a VPN, with strong passwords and updates, rather than opening the recorder directly to the internet.
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.
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.
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.
