Hourly commercial labour
Office moving is typically priced by the hour based on the crew size, truck requirement, and total time needed to complete the relocation.
Commercial moving service
Office moving for business relocations with less disruption
Office moving needs more than truck space. It needs timing, coordination, and clear expectations so teams can relocate with less downtime.
What's included in this service
Commercial moving follows the same core operating model as residential moving, but the scope is framed around workstations, office furniture, monitors, boxed records, shelving, and practical business access requirements. Crew size and truck count are matched to the estimate based on the amount of furniture and equipment being moved.
The service is meant to cover the physical relocation properly, while keeping workstations, access windows, and move-day flow organized. Monitor protection and careful handling of standard office contents are part of the expected moving setup.
- Movers and trucks matched to the estimated size of the office move
- Loading, transportation, and unloading between business locations
- Disassembly and reassembly of standard desks, tables, and office furniture when required
- Moving blankets, dollies, straps, floor protection, and standard move equipment
- Protection for office furniture and monitor handling as part of the moving process
- Placement of furniture and boxed contents at destination based on the agreed move plan
- Commercial move coordination around access windows, elevators, and loading areas when shared in advance
- Customer-service-oriented crews and basic cargo and liability coverage
What's not included in this service
Office moving still excludes tasks that fall outside physical relocation. Workstations should be prepared in advance, and anything involving internal setup, unplugging, remounting, or technical reconnect work should be treated as a separate scope unless specifically added.
For most commercial moves, professional packing is strongly recommended. It helps ensure monitors, documents, accessories, and loose workstation contents are packed and labeled properly before the move begins.
- Packing and unpacking unless purchased in advance
- IT disconnects, reconnects, server setup, and technical reinstallation
- Loose workstation contents that should have been boxed and labeled before move day
- Customer-side access coordination such as parking, elevator booking, and building approvals
- Unplanned after-hours conditions or special building requirements not shared in advance
- Specialized installations beyond standard moving labour
How pricing works for this service
Commercial moves are generally billed by the hour, just like residential moves. Pricing depends on the number of movers, the truck setup, the amount of furniture and equipment, and the access and scheduling conditions at both business locations.
Workstation and inventory volume
The number of desks, chairs, monitors, boxes, shelving units, and common-area items affects how much labour and truck space the move requires.
Access and business timing
Loading docks, elevator reservations, after-hours scheduling, and phased moving windows can all influence the final estimate.
If the move includes packed workstations, monitor handling, or multiple phases, that should be reflected in the estimate so the quote matches the real business setup.
