Office Moves & Tenant Improvements: Get Your Network Ready Before Move-In

Moving into a new office or remodeling an existing space is a major project. There are walls to build, furniture to install, employees to relocate, phones to move, computers to set up, and technology that needs to work from the moment the doors open.

Your network should not be the last thing you think about.

A new office is the perfect opportunity to build a clean, organized network infrastructure that supports your business today and gives you room to grow tomorrow.

Planning an office move?

Whether you're moving across the building or into an entirely new location, we can help you plan the network before moving day arrives. We can help determine where you need:

• Cat6 and Cat6A network connections
• Wireless access points
• Network equipment
• Security camera connections
• VoIP phone connections
• Printers and other network devices
• Conference-room connections
• Additional capacity for future employees

The goal is simple: when your employees arrive, the network is ready for them.

Tenant improvements are the best time to install cabling

If you're remodeling an office, don't wait until the walls are finished to think about network connections.

During a tenant improvement, cabling can be coordinated with the construction process so that network connections are installed where they're actually needed. This can help avoid expensive and disruptive work after the office is completed.

We work with businesses, property managers, contractors, and onsite IT teams to provide network cabling that fits the layout and requirements of the space.

Build the office around the way you work

Every business uses its office differently. An accounting office may need connections at every workstation. A medical office may have specialized equipment. A sales organization may depend heavily on wireless connectivity and conference rooms.

Before installing cable, consider how employees actually use the space. We can help identify network requirements for workstations, conference rooms, Wi-Fi, phones, printers, cameras, access control, and future expansion.

The result is a network designed around the business, not simply a predetermined number of cable drops.

Don't forget the network closet

The network closet is the center of your office's physical network. During an office move or tenant improvement, it's a good time to make sure the network equipment has an appropriate home. We can help organize the cabling around:

• Patch panels
• Network switches
• Racks and cabinets
• Fiber connections
• Cable management
• Equipment expansion

A clean, properly labeled network closet makes future troubleshooting and upgrades much easier.

Make your move easier on your IT team

Your IT team already has plenty to handle during an office move. Computers need to be configured. Phones need to work. Employees need access to applications. Printers need to be connected. Security systems need to be operational.

The physical network shouldn't become another last-minute problem. That's why network cabling should be completed, tested, labeled, and documented before move-in day whenever possible.

We can work with your construction schedule

Tenant improvements involve multiple trades and moving parts, and network cabling needs to fit into that schedule.

Whether you're working with a general contractor, construction manager, property manager, or onsite IT team, having the cabling planned early helps keep the project moving. The earlier we're involved, the more options there are.

Ready for the move?

A successful office move isn't just about getting everything into the new space. It's about having the new space ready to operate.

Your employees shouldn't have to wait for network connections. Your IT team shouldn't have to figure out unfinished cabling after move-in. And your contractor shouldn't have to reopen finished walls to accommodate technology that wasn't planned.

Let us handle the network infrastructure while you focus on the move. Network Cabling Solutions provides commercial network cabling for office moves, tenant improvements, remodels, and new commercial spaces throughout the Phoenix area.

Plan it. Install it. Test it. Have it ready when you move in.
