Separate IT cutover from furniture installation timelines
The most common relocation mistake is treating IT decommissioning and furniture installation as one sequential step. Workstations must be placed, powered, and cabled before desktop equipment arrives.
Assign separate owners: an IT lead for asset tagging, data backup, and equipment removal; an installation lead for panel assembly, power raceways, and desk placement.
Document every workstation before teardown
Photograph each workstation showing monitor placement, cable routing, and power connections. Label crates by department and desk ID, not just employee name.
Share the labeling scheme with both IT and furniture installers so reconnection at the destination matches the approved floor plan.
Schedule power and data before panels close
Electricians should complete power drops before installers finalize panel connections. Reopening completed cubicle runs adds labor and delays IT cutover.
Confirm with building management whether after-hours electrical work is required and whether COI updates are needed for each vendor.
