New office services
What services do you need when setting up a new office?
A new office usually needs more than desks and internet. The right service list depends on the premises, your team, your lease, your technology and the date people need to start working there.
The main service groups
Premises and lease prompts
Location, size, layout, facilities, permitted use, access, lease conditions, outgoings and make-good awareness.
Utilities and connectivity
Electricity, gas, water, business internet, nbn readiness, phones, Wi-Fi, networking and cabling.
Fitout and furniture
Design, building works, workstations, chairs, meeting rooms, storage, signage, acoustic needs and ergonomic prompts.
Move logistics
Removalists, crates, packing, storage, access, loading docks, lifts, after-hours moves and old office handover.
Safety and security
Locks, keys, access cards, alarms, CCTV prompts, visitor processes, cyber hygiene, backups and device handling.
Admin and communications
ABN and ASIC updates where applicable, mail redirection, suppliers, customers, invoices, website, listings and staff messages.
How to decide what matters first
Start with the dependencies. Anything that affects move-in readiness should be planned early: internet, phones, utilities, access, fitout, removalist access and cleaning. Then add business admin tasks such as address changes and customer communications.
For example, a furniture decision may affect power access and cabling. A phone decision may affect internet and staff training. A lease handover may affect cleaning and make-good work. The goal is not to do everything at once. The goal is to avoid discovering dependencies too late.
When one enquiry helps
If you need several services and do not want to brief every provider from scratch, New Office Solutions can help. We run a fact-finding session, map the likely service categories, request suitable provider quotes and help coordinate the selected services.
