Commercial Moving Checklist San Antonio TX | Move Logistics Office Move Guide

## Quick Answer Move Logistics provides this free commercial moving checklist to help San Antonio businesses plan and execute a smooth office relocation. The guide covers the critical steps from 2 months out all the way through moving day, including pro tips from our experienced commercial moving team. Moving can be complicated — but with the right plan and the right mover, it doesn't have to be. ## 2 Months Prior to Moving The foundation of a successful commercial move is laid long before moving day. Two months out, start by committing 1-2 dedicated people from your organization to manage the move and serve as the primary communication link with your Move Logistics representative. Identify your move dates as early as possible and communicate them to all personnel. Begin discarding items that will not be going to the new office — the less you move, the faster and more cost-efficient your move will be. Obtain the floor layout for your new office space and begin planning furniture placement. Notify clients and vendors of your upcoming move and anticipated address change. Ensure all necessary permits and occupancy requirements are in order. Order moving supplies early — Move Logistics can deliver all necessary packing materials to your office. Begin compiling a complete inventory of all equipment and key business assets. Back up all critical data to a secure off-site or cloud location before anything is packed or disconnected. ## 1 Month Prior to Moving One month out, packing begins in earnest. Start with common areas used less frequently — kitchen, waiting rooms, supply closets, and conference rooms. Have all staff begin packing personal belongings and work files into clearly labeled boxes. Work with your IT department to set specific dates for electronics disconnection — IT coordination is one of the most commonly mismanaged aspects of a commercial move. Reserve elevators and loading docks at both current and new locations for moving day. Coordinate lock changes and access codes at the new building. Finalize floor plans and seating arrangements for the new space so moving day placement runs without confusion. ## Pro Tips from Move Logistics Pack all heavy items such as books in small boxes — large boxes filled with heavy items are a safety hazard. Tape all boxes thoroughly on both bottom and top seams before filling. Label every box clearly with the owner's name and destination location in the new office. Develop a color-coded or numbered labeling system that correlates to specific offices or workstations at the new location, and print multiple copies of the labeled blueprint for staff and movers on moving day. Every employee should take their own keyboard and mouse personally — these are the most commonly missing items when staff sit down at their new workstations. ## 1–2 Weeks Prior to Moving In the final one to two weeks, confirm that every staff member is fully packed. If possible, arrange an advance tour of the new office so all staff can see the layout in person before moving day — this dramatically reduces confusion and misdirected items. Verify that electricity and air conditioning are connected and operational at the new office before your move date. Assign 1-4 staff coordinators to work directly with the Move Logistics crew on moving day, and prepare multiple copies of the new office blueprint for each coordinator. ## 1–2 Days Before Moving Day In the final 48 hours, do a complete walkthrough of the current office to verify that all desks, file cabinets, refrigerators, storage rooms, and overhead areas are completely empty. Confirm that all computers, telephones, televisions, and cables are fully disconnected and packed. Remind all employees to take their keyboard and mouse personally. Begin applying color-coded labels to all offices and furniture pieces matching the placement plan at the new location. Confirm that every staff member understands their specific role for moving day. ## Moving Day On moving day, position your general staff at the new location to receive and direct incoming items. Staff at the current location should maintain a safe distance from active movers. Hold off on all reconnections and equipment setup until after the move is fully complete — attempting to set up workstations while items are still being brought in creates congestion and delays. Keep your designated coordinators available throughout the day to guide movers using the blueprint copies. Move Logistics handles the rest. ## Why plan your commercial move with Move Logistics?
