A new office IT setup goes smoothly when you start early and work backward from move-in day. The order that works:
The single most common cause of a bad first week is internet that is not live yet. Order it first.
An office move involves the landlord, a general contractor, a cabling company, one or two internet providers, a phone vendor, a copier company, a security installer and your staff. Without one person who owns the IT timeline, each vendor waits on another and dates slip. Pick that owner first, whether it is your office manager, your internal IT person or your IT provider, and give them a shared timeline with every vendor, date and contact on one page.
Business internet installs can take weeks, especially if the provider has to run new fiber into the building. Before you sign the lease if you can, and no later than 90 days out:
Cabling is cheapest before the walls close and the furniture arrives. Plan it with your floor plan in hand.
CISA’s Cyber Essentials guide is a good plain-English baseline for small businesses setting up a new environment, covering secure configuration, updates and backups.
Our free Technology Health Assessment takes about 30 minutes of data collection and gives you a plain-language report the next day on IT operations, security, business continuity and spending, with next steps in order. It is a useful baseline before a move. No obligation. Book your free assessment.
Most offices now use a cloud phone system or Teams Phone. Start number porting at least 30 days out, because ports can be rejected over small mismatches in account details.
Do not skip the 911 setup. Under the FCC rules that implement Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’S Act, multi-line telephone systems must let users dial 911 directly without a prefix, notify a central point such as a front desk when someone does, and send a dispatchable location (street address plus floor or suite) with the call. When you move, update the registered address for every phone and softphone and test a call with your provider’s test procedure.
Every office is different, so instead of a number, here are the things that move the budget most:

Start about 90 days before move-in. Internet installs, especially new fiber, are the longest lead item. Cabling should happen before furniture arrives, and phone number ports need at least 30 days.
If your office cannot work without the internet, yes. A second connection from a different provider, or a 5G business backup, keeps phones and cloud apps running when the main line goes down.
Cat 6 or Cat 6A, with at least two drops per desk plus drops for access points, printers, cameras and conference rooms. Ask for labeled jacks and a test report.
Your phone system must send a dispatchable location, meaning street address plus floor or suite, with 911 calls under FCC rules. Update the registered address for every phone and test with your provider.
On-site IT is available in Atlanta, Birmingham and Chattanooga. For other locations, we plan and configure remotely and coordinate with your local installers.
