Network Health Check & Documentation
Network assessment before an office move, on site
We are moving office and need to know what network equipment and cabling the new space will need.
We are moving office and need to know what network equipment and cabling the new space will need.
An office move is a good moment to review the network. Equipment that is old or unsupported can be replaced rather than moved, cabling at the new site can be assessed before you commit, and internet options can be ordered early. Without that planning, the move often uncovers surprises on the first morning. A pre-move check also gives time to order fibre and switches before the deadline.
What the technician does
- Audit current equipment, connections and what should move
- Inspect the new site's cabling, comms room and internet options
- Write a move plan with a list of what to buy or install
Visit the new office before signing the lease if you can - cabling and internet options can affect the decision.
About network assessment before an office move
We audit what you have now, inspect the new site's cabling, comms room, power and internet options, and look for gaps such as missing points or weak Wi-Fi coverage. The result is a move plan listing what moves, what is replaced, what is installed and the order things need to happen. Costs are listed separately from the plan, so you can decide what to do and when.
What usually causes it
- Lease ending or business growing
- Merging two offices
- Unsure whether the new site's cabling is usable
- Old equipment that may not be worth moving
Before we arrive
- Any existing logins, passwords or notes from previous IT help
- Access to the comms cupboard, server room and ceiling spaces
- A list of known problems and when they tend to happen
- Details of your internet provider and connection type
What a visit looks like
When you book network assessment before an office move, you tell us what's going on and we reply with a time that suits you and a price. Nothing starts until you're happy with both.
On the day, the technician arrives, looks at the problem in person and confirms the plan with you before starting. If something turns out different from what was expected - a part is needed, or the cause is somewhere else - we stop and agree the change with you first.
When the work is done we test it with you, show you what was changed, and leave the area tidy. For business jobs we note what we did, so there is a record for whoever looks after your IT next.
Pricing
Each network assessment before an office move job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
There is no contract and no monthly fee. You book the job you need and pay for that job.
Network assessment before an office move: questions
Can you check the cabling at the new office?
Yes. We test existing points, check the patch panel and comms room, and let you know whether the cabling can be reused or needs work. We also check that the comms room has ventilation and enough power sockets.
Do you help on move day?
We can. Many businesses book the assessment and then the move itself, so the same plan is followed from start to finish. That avoids someone new having to learn the site on the busiest day.
Do you do network assessment before an office move on site?
Yes. We come to businesses and homes across Auckland and Hamilton and do the work where the equipment is.
How much does network assessment before an office move cost?
It depends on what's involved. Tell us about the job on the form and we'll confirm the price before any work starts.
