Before the lease decision
Agree workplace requirements, test candidate floors, inspect services and request landlord fit-out and reinstatement requirements. Compare total occupation costs and the practical effect of layout constraints, not rent alone.
Before construction
Confirm the layout, budget, programme, approvals pathway and responsibilities for IT, access control, audiovisual systems and furniture. Create an inventory of retained equipment and agree the move sequence with the business.
Before moving day
Test connectivity, meeting technology, power and access arrangements. Confirm packing labels, lift bookings, insurance responsibilities, staff communications and a fallback for essential operations. Appoint a decision-maker for move-day issues.
After occupation
Track defects and user feedback, distribute operating information and close out the outgoing premises separately. Keep records of landlord inspections and accepted handback conditions.
