Moving Offices | Office Relocation - Business Relocation Services After you established a floor plan for the new location, start to figure out at which desk does each person will sit. Assign each desk a number. It’s easiest to sequentially number the desks, starting in a central spot like the reception and working clockwise from there. It makes the positioning of items easier when delivering. People with individual offices should have a number assigned to the office along with the workstations in the same sequential run (don’t have the same number twice don’t preface offices and workstations with different codes). Match your numbered floor plan with the staff members who will be assigned that desk/office. The number of communal spaces, storerooms, and utility areas in the same sequence as the rest of the office. It’s up to you if you use names or numbers, just make sure they are clear.
