Moving Tips
From packing to cleaning — lifestyle know-how at a glance!
Office Relocation / Company Move Complete Guide | How to Relocate Without Interrupting Your Business

Moving an office is not just about moving furniture and boxes.
It’s about protecting your company’s business continuity.

A single mistake — a misplaced computer or a missing document —
can cause work stoppages and harm client trust.

Today, Move University shares the ultimate guide to office relocation and company moves,
designed specifically for corporate managers and operations teams.


1. Why Office Relocation Is Different From a Home Move

Unlike household moving, office relocation focuses more on system restoration than physical transportation.
In short, the goal is:
“To have everything up and running by the next business morning.”

Difference Between Home Moving and Office Relocation

Category Home Move Office Relocation / Company Move
Purpose Moving living space Moving a business workspace
Main Items Furniture, home appliances OA equipment, servers, meeting rooms, documents
Workforce General movers Corporate relocation team + IT engineers
Work Hours Mostly daytime Night / weekend availability
Risk Damage to personal items Work disruption, data loss

Move University Tip:
Treat your office relocation as a system recovery project, not a simple transportation task.


2. Office Relocation Pre-Move Checklist

A successful company move starts with detailed preparation.
Follow these five steps to minimize issues during the transition.

Step 1. Set a Schedule

  • Confirm the moving date 2–4 weeks in advance

  • Coordinate deadlines with relocation timing to minimize downtime

Step 2. Secure Floor Plans

  • Obtain the new office layout early

  • Check seat arrangements, outlets, and network ports

Step 3. Categorize Items

  • Separate documents, IT equipment, furniture, and shared assets

  • Discard or store unnecessary items to reduce clutter

Step 4. Check Equipment

  • Inspect PCs, servers, printers, and other OA devices

  • Coordinate with your network manager for same-day connection setup

Step 5. Select a Professional Moving Company

  • Verify corporate relocation experience, equipment, and insurance coverage

  • Ensure your quotation includes packing, transport, installation, and cleaning

Extra Tip from Move University:
Create an office relocation schedule and labeling system (color codes by department).
It will drastically reduce confusion on moving day.


3. IT and Network Relocation Tips

To prevent operational downtime, restoring the IT environment is the top priority.

  1. Back up and disconnect servers/NAS devices in advance

  2. Re-arrange routers and hubs according to the new layout

  3. Coordinate telephone and internet line transfers at least 3 days prior

  4. Perform dual backups — external drives and cloud storage

Move University works with major telecom providers (SK, KT, LG U+)
to handle internet and phone line relocation seamlessly.


4. Office Furniture and Equipment Organization Tips

Furniture disassembly and reassembly are crucial for office relocation.

  • Desks, cabinets, and partitions require professional tools and trained staff

  • Consider discarding or re-arranging outdated office furniture

  • Take photos of meeting rooms and shared spaces for reference after the move

Unused Furniture Tip:
Hiring a separate disposal service can be costly.
Move University provides combined relocation and disposal services for efficiency and savings.


5. Post-Move Inspection Checklist

Relocation isn’t complete once boxes are unpacked.
Final inspections ensure smooth business operations.

  • Check power and network connectivity for all equipment

  • Test internet and phone functionality

  • Inspect restrooms, pantries, and shared areas

  • Secure meeting rooms, storage spaces, and keys

  • Have each team verify their own workspace

Move University offers relocation, post-cleaning, and line installation as an all-in-one service,
so your team can resume work immediately.


6. Office Relocation Cost Factors

Office relocation costs vary depending on several elements.

Factor Description
Scale Number of employees, floors, and total area
Distance Distance between current and new location
Timing Weekday vs. night/weekend relocation
Services Packing, assembly, cleaning, and IT line transfer
Insurance Damage and liability coverage

For small to mid-sized offices (under 30 employees),
typical costs range from 2–4 million KRW,
while large corporate relocations can exceed 5–10 million KRW.
