Office IT fit-out, ready for day one

One team to design and deliver the technology layer of your new office — cabling, comms rooms, Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, desks and cutover — coordinated with the build and proven before your people arrive.

The complete IT scope

Everything between the internet connection and the desk

A fit-out works when every dependency is planned together. SonarNext owns the IT scope under one project manager, so the cabling, network, rooms and user setup arrive in the right order.

Structured cabling & fibre

Licensed data cabling, fibre backbones, floor boxes and patching — tested, labelled and certified before handover.

Comms rooms & racks

Rack layout, switching, firewall, internet services, UPS, cooling and power planned as one supportable system.

Office Wi-Fi

Predictive design, on-site validation and correctly placed access points for desks, meeting rooms and shared spaces.

Meeting rooms & AV

Teams and Zoom rooms, displays, cameras, microphones and booking panels set up for simple day-to-day use.

Workstations & shared devices

Desks, docks, screens, printers and shared devices staged and connected so staff can work from opening morning.

Security coordination

Network and cabling coordination for CCTV, door access and alarms, working with your security contractor where required.

Plan it early

The cheapest time to fix an IT problem is on the floor plan

We review the plan before construction locks in the expensive decisions: comms room location and size, cable pathways, floor boxes, power and cooling, wireless coverage and meeting-room layouts.

SonarNext then turns the agreed design into a documented trade scope and works with the builder, electrician, architect and service providers throughout delivery. Questions are resolved in site meetings, not at practical completion.

  • Floor-plan and technology requirements review
  • Comms room, pathway, power and cooling design
  • Cabling, rack and equipment schedules
  • Wi-Fi and meeting-room design
  • Builder and trade coordination
  • Programme, cutover and handover plan

How delivery works

Designed, built, tested and handed over by one accountable team

  1. Discover and design

    Confirm headcount, work patterns, applications, rooms, device standards and growth, then turn them into an agreed design and scope.

  2. Coordinate and procure

    Lock in lead times, internet services and site access while coordinating pathways, power and construction sequencing with the wider project team.

  3. Build and commission

    Install and certify cabling, assemble the rack, configure the network, fit meeting rooms and stage desks before users reach the site.

  4. Validate and support

    Test each service, walk the Wi-Fi, complete a user-ready check and keep engineers available through opening day.

Office fit-out case study

Relocation & cutover

Shut down Friday. Work normally Monday.

Where the project includes a move, we build the new environment in parallel and test it before the old office closes. Internet services, firewall rules, Wi-Fi, printers, meeting rooms and priority desks are proven ahead of the move window.

The cutover runs from a written sequence with owners, timings and a fallback for every critical dependency. Engineers stay on the floor for opening morning to resolve the small issues that only appear when the whole team logs in.

  • New site pre-built and tested
  • Internet and phone services coordinated
  • Equipment staged, labelled and moved
  • Critical systems checked after cutover
  • Opening-day floor support

Documented handover

A finished office your team can actually support

Practical completion includes the records behind the installation, not just a rack with the lights on. Your team owns the documentation and can hand it to any future support provider.

  • Certified cabling test results and cable schedule
  • As-built floor plans and rack elevations
  • Patch, switch-port, VLAN and Wi-Fi records
  • Internet, firewall and equipment details
  • Admin credentials transferred securely
  • Warranty details and support escalation path

FAQs

Questions we get asked

What is included in an office IT fit-out?

A typical fit-out includes structured cabling and fibre, comms room and rack build, switching, firewall and internet services, Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, printers and desk setup. We coordinate CCTV and door-access networking too, then provide tested as-built documentation.

When should we involve SonarNext?

Ideally at floor-plan stage, before ceilings close and joinery is ordered. Early input lets us confirm cabling paths, comms room space, power, cooling, Wi-Fi locations and meeting-room requirements while changes are still inexpensive.

Do you coordinate with our builder and electrician?

Yes. We attend project meetings, work to the construction programme and coordinate pathways, power, access and sequencing with the builder, electrician, architect and other trades.

Can you manage our office relocation as well as the new fit-out?

Yes. We pre-build and test the new site, coordinate service cutovers, move or replace equipment, and place engineers on site for opening day. The usual target is a Friday shutdown and normal work on Monday.

Are your data cablers licensed?

Yes. Cabling is installed by licensed cablers and every in-scope run is tested, labelled and included in the handover records.

How do you make sure the office Wi-Fi will work?

Access-point placement starts with the floor plan and expected device load, then the installed network is validated on site. We correct coverage or roaming issues before practical completion rather than leaving staff to discover them later.

Can you support the office after handover?

Yes. SonarNext can provide ongoing managed IT, monitoring and helpdesk support, or hand the completed environment to your internal team or incumbent provider with the documentation needed to support it.
