Moving offices in Monterey is stressful enough without learning on the first morning that the new suite has no internet. The movers will pack the desks. Somebody still has to take down the server, rewire the closet, and get every phone and printer talking again. We handle that part, and we start well before move day.
When You Need Office IT Relocation
Bring us in as soon as you're seriously looking at a space. Before you sign is best. Once the lease is done, your options shrink.
A quick walkthrough tells us where the network closet will go and whether the existing cabling is any good. It also tells us which internet providers serve the building, and that can decide a lease on its own.
Older buildings are where moves get hard. Downtown Monterey and Cannery Row have plenty of thick plaster and adobe walls. Wi-Fi struggles to get through them, and running new cable takes far longer than in a newer office park in Marina. You want to know that before the budget is set, because it changes both the cost and the schedule.
How Our Office Relocation Process Works
We start with a walkthrough of the new space and an inventory of everything you're bringing. From there we write a move plan with dates: when internet gets ordered, when cabling goes in, when phones get switched over, and what happens on move day itself.
Before the move, we install what we can ahead of time. The firewall and wireless access points go in early so the network is live before the first box arrives.
On move day we disconnect and label your equipment, then reconnect and test each desk at the new office. If you're on rVoice, the phones are cloud based, so they work again once they're plugged into the new network. Printers are usually the last holdouts. Anything odd after that goes to the help desk like any other ticket, and we keep the move plan on file so the next person who touches your network knows exactly where every cable ended up.
Office IT Relocation Cost in Monterey
Price depends on how many people and devices are moving, the state of the cabling at the new space, and how much new equipment you need. A building that needs fresh cable runs through plaster walls costs more than one that's already wired. Internet installation fees come from the provider. We give you a written quote for our part once we've seen both locations.
Why Monterey Offices Call Us for a Move
We've helped Monterey County businesses move, grow, and consolidate since 2008. Our office is in New Monterey, so a site visit to a space in Pacific Grove or Seaside is a short trip.
If something breaks the week after you move in, our 24/7 emergency line still answers. A critical ticket gets a technician within 15 minutes.
Call (831) 649-5050, ideally before you sign the lease. A relocation is one of several IT consulting projects we take on for Monterey County offices, and we often plan it alongside equipment upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early should we call about an office move?
As early as you can, before the lease is signed if possible. Internet providers set their own install dates, and some buildings need new cabling, so lead time is what keeps move day on schedule.
Can we keep our phone numbers when we move?
Yes. Business numbers can move with you. If you're on rVoice, the phones just plug into the new network and keep working.
Will you coordinate with our movers and the landlord?
Yes. We work out timing with your moving company and sort out closet access and cable routes with the landlord or building manager.
