IT Relocation Checklist: Forget Nothing
To tick off
IT move: the checklist by responsibility
Nothing forgotten
In an IT move, it is rarely the transport that fails, but usually a forgotten item: a backup that cannot be restored, an internet connection that has not yet been activated at the new site, or cables without labels. This checklist sorts the tasks by who does them – your IT team, your administration or the moving team. If you assign a name to every item, you notice early where something is still missing and prevent everyone waiting for each other on moving day.
For Beste Umzug Unternehmen, the list covers the physical part: padding computers and monitors, putting small parts into labelled boxes, dismantling and assembling furniture, applying for the parking restriction zone and transporting everything. We give you the fixed price after the survey. Data backup, disconnecting and getting systems running belong on your IT team's list. If your company is moving to another city, you will find information under long-distance moves.

Survey, plan, fixed price
During the free survey we go through the points of your IT move together: devices, furniture, routes, lift, parking restrictions and time window. Afterwards you receive a fixed price and a schedule. Call us directly on 01625978461 or request a quote online.
Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.
Three lists instead of one
IT, administration, moving team
A checklist only works if every item has someone responsible for it. That is why it is worth splitting the IT move into three lists: your IT team takes care of data, systems and the network; the administration handles contracts, connections, the building management and informing staff; and we handle packing, carrying, parking restrictions and transport. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and compare our list with yours during the survey so that no task falls between two stools. We are liable for your belongings under the HGB.

Joint plan
Six points that are often missing
These six items are missing from many lists for an IT move – and only become noticeable when nobody can work on Monday. Tick them off in good time and add a name to each.
Backup restored?
Line activated?
Drives encrypted?
Login details to hand?
Parking restriction applied for?
Lift reserved?
Only individual devices?
Moving
service without compromise
Besides the IT, desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables and the kitchenette are usually on the list for the move too. On request, our packing service takes care of boxes, padded blankets and packing delicate devices. For furniture and workstations there is our office move; anyone moving privately at the same time will find the private move. That way all tasks are on one joint plan with one date.

Questions about the checklist
The checklist in four stages
Weeks before: draw up an inventory list of all devices, order the internet connection at the new site, check power and network sockets in the new premises, apply for the parking restriction zone, and arrange a survey and fixed price. The week before: create a backup and test the restore, secure login details, and label cables and devices with desk numbers.
Moving day: your IT team shuts down the systems and disconnects them, and we pad, pack and transport everything according to plan. Afterwards: place the devices at the numbered spots, and your IT team connects and tests them. Note any damage immediately; hidden damage must be reported within 14 days.
Typical situations – and what else belongs on the list
Whether it is a move to larger office premises, merging two sites or moving out of a server room – each situation adds its own items to the checklist. If the server is moving to a data centre, you need access rules and an appointment with the operator. With several sites, it must be clear which devices go where. For long distances, read more under long-distance moves.
Companies often combine the IT move with moving the office furniture. In that case, furniture assembly and setting up the devices belong in the same sequence: desks first, then technology. Moving in the evening or at the weekend is possible if the date is available; whether a surcharge applies is stated in the quote.
Fair prices, clear figures
We rely on fairness and clarity: we move a one-room flat from €369, a two-room flat from €609. For three rooms the costs start from €909, for four rooms from €1,324. For a house or villa there is an individual quote tailored to your situation. We charge long-distance moves from €3.85/km. The easiest way to clarify everything else is during a free survey.
Factors for the moving price calculation
The decisive factors are above all the volume, distance (from €3.85/km), floor, as well as the lift and parking restriction zone. Additional services such as furniture assembly or a shared load increase the total price slightly.
