Move the office, not the workweek
An office move can cost more in lost work than the move itself. We plan it to keep your team working.
What we move
- Desks, chairs, tables, shelving and cabinets, taken apart and reassembled where needed.
- Computers, monitors and printers, padded for the move.
- Files and records, boxed and labeled by room.
- Reception, conference and kitchen furniture.
- Art, glass and other fragile pieces, crated when needed.
- Furniture or records stored between moves via our storage service.
How an office move runs
- A walk-through, in person or by video, with the person in charge.
- A written estimate and plan: the date, the start time, what moves, what stays, and what needs packing.
- Building paperwork: we issue the COI your building asks for and send it with the contract, or to the building on request. You book the freight elevator and the loading dock.
- Labels: every desk, box and piece of furniture gets a label that matches a spot on the new floor plan.
- Move day: pack, load, drive, place everything by the plan, and put the furniture back together.
Get your team ready
- Pick one decision-maker for move day.
- Have each employee pack their own desk in a labeled box.
- Draw the new floor plan with numbered spots, then mark the numbers on the floor.
- Clear out old files, broken chairs and dead equipment. Moving them costs time.
Your IT team and your building
We move the equipment. Your IT person should disconnect computers, servers and phones before the move and reconnect them after. Back up your data first.
Check the old and new buildings for move hours, the freight elevator and the loading dock. Many commercial buildings allow moves only at set times, and a tower may need a reserved elevator and an approved COI first. See our high-rise moving page for details, or our packing services to pack files, equipment and fragile items.
Across the river or across the street
Across the river or across the street, we plan the route and both buildings’ rules. You get a free written estimate with your rate and terms before moving day, and your final cost depends on how much you move. See how our prices work.
Questions about office moves
Can you move us on a weekend?
Yes. A weekend move keeps the workweek clear.
Do you provide the COI for our building?
Yes. We issue it and send it with the contract, or to the building directly on request.
Do you disconnect and set up computers?
No. We pack and move the equipment safely; your IT person or provider should disconnect it before the move and set it up after.
Do you move small offices?
Yes. A two-desk suite and a full floor both get a walk-through and a written estimate.
How early should we start planning?
For a larger office, a month or more ahead.
