Planning a Tech Startup Office Move

A startup office looks simple, but the desks carry more hardware than most. A typical engineer’s station has two or three monitors on arms, a dock, a mechanical keyboard someone cares about deeply, and a motorized sit-stand frame with a control box and a cable tray full of cords. Multiply that across the team and the monitor count alone runs well past the headcount.

The plan works desk by desk. Each station gets a number, and every screen, arm, dock, and bag of cables gets the same number. Laptops go home with their owners on Friday. We lower each frame, take the monitors off their arms, pack them upright in padded cartons, and bag cables by desk. On the new floor, station numbers guide the rebuild: frame, arms, screens, then the dock plugged in, so Monday starts with people opening laptops instead of hunting for cables.

The rest of the office is lighter but still particular: rolling whiteboards, glass writable boards, a few phone booths, a game room, and a kitchen stocked for a team that stays late. The network gear in the equipment closet stays with whoever runs your IT.

Who usually signs off: Founder, head of operations, or office manager, with whoever runs IT owning the network and the equipment closet
Timing that works: Between sprints or after a release, usually a Friday afternoon teardown and a weekend move, with laptops going home with their owners

What typically moves

Multi-monitor stations and monitor arms Screens removed from arms, packed upright in padded cartons, and numbered to the desk they return to.
Motorized sit-stand desk frames Lowered, unplugged, and moved assembled where the route allows; control boxes and cable trays stay attached.
Docks, keyboards, and cable bags Bagged by desk number so each engineer’s setup comes back together exactly.
Rolling and glass whiteboards Photographed if anyone wants the notes kept, then wrapped; glass boards travel upright in padded cartons.
Phone booths and focus pods Taken apart and rebuilt to the maker’s instructions, or left to the manufacturer’s installer where required.
Game room and kitchen Ping-pong table folded, lounge seating wrapped, and the kitchen boxed by cabinet for a quick restock.

Access and scheduling

Startups on the First Coast tend to land in downtown Jacksonville’s newer office floors, near the St. Johns Town Center and J. Turner Butler Blvd, or in buildings around Nocatee, and each comes with a landlord’s rulebook. Downtown and Southside towers usually need the freight elevator and dock reserved, and the landlord’s office will ask for our insurance certificate, which we issue on request. Newer Nocatee buildings may share one elevator with medical tenants.

Pick a date between sprints or right after a release. A Friday afternoon teardown and a weekend move give your IT person Sunday to bring the network up before Monday. Booths often take the longest to rebuild, so we usually schedule them early at the new office. Traffic on J. Turner Butler Blvd and I-95 is lighter on weekends, which shortens the drive between offices.

Protection and handling

Screens are the most fragile and most numerous thing on this move. They come off their arms, go into padded cartons upright, and ride in one part of the truck where nothing heavy can lean on them. Each carton is numbered to its desk, and we count them at load and unload.

Sit-stand frames are heavy at the base and easy to bend at the legs, so they move low on dollies with the top wrapped. Glass whiteboards travel upright with corner guards. Laptops, security keys, and anything with company data go home with their owners. The network closet and the firewall are for your IT person or vendor to shut down and move; we can carry equipment cases they pack and seal.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Network gear, the equipment closet, and any on-site servers: Whoever runs your IT, in-house or a vendor, who shuts them down, moves them, and brings the network up.
Access control, cameras, and Wi-Fi: Your IT provider or the landlord’s security vendor.
Phone booths that require the manufacturer’s installer: The booth manufacturer’s installer; we move everything else around them.

Not part of our work

Shutting down, packing, or bringing up network equipment or servers.
Configuring laptops, accounts, or security keys.

Around St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s startup scene is spread across downtown Jacksonville and the Southbank, the St. Johns Town Center area and the J. Turner Butler Blvd office parks, and the Beaches, with newer teams opening near Nocatee. Downtown loading gets harder on stadium and arena event days, so we check the event calendar before picking a date.

Tech Startup Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

How do you keep each engineer’s monitors and arms together?

Every desk gets a number, and every screen, arm, dock, and cable bag gets the same number. We pack screens upright in padded cartons, count them at load and unload, and rebuild each station to its number, so each engineer finds their own screens mounted the way they had them.

Should our team take laptops home before the move?

Yes. Laptops, security keys, and anything holding company data are better off with their owners. They take them home on Friday and bring them to the new office on Monday, so all they have to do is dock and log in.

Can you move our sit-stand desks without taking them apart?

Often, when the route allows. We lower each frame fully, unplug it, secure the control box and cables, and move it on a dolly. If a door, stair, or elevator is too tight, we take the top off the frame and rebuild it at the new office.

Who moves the network closet?

Your IT person or vendor. They shut down, pack, and bring up everything in that closet. If they pack equipment in sealed cases, we can carry the cases for them, but setup and testing stay on their side. Tell us the closet’s new location early, since those cases usually go in first so IT can start while we move desks.
