Start with people, work and timing
Document who will use the site, how they work, which applications they depend on and the date each part of the environment must be ready. Include visitors, hybrid work and any equipment with specialist connectivity or installation requirements.
Plan connectivity before furniture settles the layout
Internet services, network cabling, Wi-Fi coverage, cabinets and power affect where people and equipment can work. Confirm building access, supplier lead times and the handoff between trades early enough to resolve gaps before installation.
Specify the whole workstation experience
Computers are one part of the setup. Displays, docks, peripherals, printing, meeting-room equipment, accounts and software all influence whether a person can be productive on arrival. Standard choices also make future support and replacement easier.
Include access, resilience and handover
Decide how staff, guests and devices connect; how equipment is protected; and which services need backup or recovery arrangements. Record configurations, warranties, suppliers and ownership so the operating team is not left with an undocumented installation.
Keep support connected to the build
Whoever supports the office later needs to understand how it was set up. We can source the equipment, install it onsite in Sydney and support it remotely, all in one plan.
Run a working-day acceptance test
Test internet failover where included, Wi-Fi at the places people work, printing, meeting rooms, business applications, remote access and support contacts. A technical link light is not the same as a usable workplace.
Leave an asset and support record
Record devices, locations, warranties, network details, suppliers and administrative ownership. Provide staff with a clear way to request help and give the support team the information needed to diagnose the new environment.
