When Should You Start Planning Your Office Move?
A smooth office relocation doesn’t happen by chance — it happens with strategic planning. Here’s what you need to know about the typical office relocation timeline in Singapore.
Key Milestones in Your Office Move
-
Office Fit-Out: 4–6 weeks for design, renovation, and installation
-
Office Furniture Delivery: Pre-order at least 1 month in advance to ensure on-time delivery
-
Lease Signing: Most tenants secure their new space 3–6 months before moving in
When to Start Planning Your Office Move
We recommend starting 6–9 months before your current lease expiry. This gives you time to:
-
Compare available office spaces for lease
-
Finalise design and layout plans
-
Complete fit-out works without rushing
-
Handle unexpected delays with a comfortable buffer
💡 Cost-Saving Tip for Tenants
Inform your landlord 6–9 months in advance if you plan to vacate. If another business takes over your fitted office, you could save significantly on reinstatement costs.
