Week 3: Assemble the Office
Turn the space into a usable workplace. Install and test everything, stock supplies, send the pre-move email, and hold the day-before readiness review.
Week 3: Assemble the Office
Goal: turn the space into a usable workplace. Things arrive, get installed, and — critically — get tested.
Do
- Receive and install furniture.
- Test desks, power, monitors, rooms, Wi-Fi, audio/visual (AV), and access — the way an employee will use them.
- Stock the kitchen and office supplies.
- Set up mail / shipping; label storage and supply areas.
- Finalize the seating plan.
- Send the employee pre-move email.
- Schedule the final clean.
- Hold the day-before readiness meeting.
Work the IT/AV Readiness Checklist room by room, then the Opening Readiness Checklist.
Active workstreams
Output
- An opening readiness checklist in progress
- Employee instructions sent
- A support plan for opening day
The mindset
This is the week the rule earns its keep: “installed” is not “working.” A room that looks done can still fail a real call; a badge system that’s live can still not let people in. Test against your Minimum Viable Opening, and write down anything that isn’t ready with an owner and a date.
