An office move costs money every hour your team cannot work. The goal of a good office shifting plan in Dhaka is simple: close on Thursday evening, open on Sunday morning, and find every desk, file and cable exactly where it should be.
Four weeks before: plan the new space
- Get the floor plan of the new office and mark where each team, desk, printer and cabinet will go.
- Count what is moving: workstations, chairs, cabinets, server rack, AC units and stock.
- Book a free survey visit — the surveyor checks lifts, loading points and parking at both buildings and gives you a fixed quotation.
Two weeks before: permissions and people
- Ask both building managements for lift booking and moving hours. Many commercial towers in Gulshan, Banani, Motijheel and Tejgaon allow moves only after office hours or on Fridays.
- Name one person from your side as the move coordinator. Our supervisor works with that person on the day.
- Tell your internet provider the move date so the new line is live when you arrive.
One week before: label everything
Give every desk a number from the floor plan. Every box, chair and computer from that desk gets the same number. On moving day the team places items by number — nobody has to guess.
Moving day: IT first, then furniture
- Staff back up their files and shut down computers. Cables go in a bag taped to each PC.
- The server and network equipment move in a separate, padded load with your IT person present.
- Workstations are dismantled, wrapped, moved and rebuilt at the new office.
- Our supervisor checks the floor plan against what is placed before the team leaves.
After the move
Walk through the office with the supervisor, test power points and internet at every desk, and note anything that needs a second visit.
