Your Commercial Relocation Checklist
Commercial moves are complex. They involve more than just transport, impacting staff, operations, inventory, IT systems, and productivity. KEYS has been supporting businesses in Perth and throughout Western Australia with top-tier commercial relocations for over 30 years. We’ve created this commercial moving guide to help you map all the moving parts and plan for a stress-free business relocation.
Start Planning Early
4 to 12 weeks before moving day.
- Set internal budgets, objectives, and relocation goals.
- Appoint a project lead or internal relocation team.
- Contact KEYS to schedule an onsite consultation.
- Identify what will be moved, stored, disposed of or replaced.
- Consider fit-out requirements for your new space.
- Communicate with building managers about access and booking requirements.
Our tip: Early planning helps reduce downtime, and early communication prevents friction. Start engaging staff and IT support early to ensure everyone’s on board.
Assessments and Notifications
At least 4 weeks before moving day.
- Confirm the floor plan and layout for your new workspace.
- Notify your internet and phone provider of the change.
- Arrange lift access, security clearances, and delivery permissions at both sites.
- Begin sorting and decluttering equipment and files.
- Prepare an inventory with your KEYS move manager.
Our tip: The clearer the access and layout plan, the faster we can move and set up. Share any special handling needs for machinery or IT.
Finalise Logistics
2 weeks before moving day.
- Confirm packing and moving schedule with KEYS.
- Begin transferring or backing up critical data.
- Notify staff of move timing, packing responsibilities, and new office arrangements.
- Arrange transit insurance.
- Label equipment, furniture, and cables for easy reassembly.
Our tip: We can provide packing materials to give your team a head start on personal items. They don’t need to worry about their PC and monitor, furniture, files, or peripherals. We’ll handle all of that.
Prepare on Both Sides
5 to 7 days before moving day.
- Clearly label all self-packed crates, files, and hardware.
- Confirm utility connections at the new site.
- Collect documents and sensitive records for faster and more secure packing.
- Empty and prepare fridges, printers, and equipment for relocation.
- Brief all team members on their responsibilities for moving day.
Our tip: We’ll help you manage subcontractors for layout adjustments and fit-out. In the lead-up to moving day, we’ll ensure the new site is safe and ready for your equipment.
Moving Day
- Be present or appoint an authorised site contact.
- Meet your KEYS team lead to walk through the job and timeline.
- Let KEYS handle the heavy lifting, unpacking, and placement.
- Check delivery records against your inventory list.
- Clear final waste and prepare the vacated site for inspection.
Our tip: Keep your IT team or managed services provider on standby to assist with system testing and network reconnection.
With KEYS, commercial relocations are simple from start to finish.
We’ll manage the logistics, transport, and setup so you can stay focused on your team and customers.
