Commercial & Storage
Office & Commercial Moving
Every hour your business is down costs money. We plan office moves around your schedule, often after hours, so your team walks into a working office.
An office move involves people, equipment and deadlines all at once: a lease end date, a building with loading rules, and staff who need to work on Monday. Homeward Moving Co. plans commercial moves with a single contact, a written schedule and a labelling system that puts every desk back where it belongs.
What's included
- Site visits — at both locations, to check elevators, docks, parking and building rules.
- Move plan — a written schedule, floor plan and labelling system shared with your team.
- Crates and materials — plastic crates for files, plus boxes, bubble wrap and anti-static wrap for equipment.
- Furniture handling — desks, cubicle panels, boardroom tables and filing cabinets moved and placed.
- After-hours moves — evenings and weekends so the business stays open.
- Certificate of insurance — sent to both buildings ahead of time when they ask for it.
How an office move runs
- Plan. Walk-throughs, the floor plan and a date that works around your business.
- Prepare. Crates delivered, staff pack their desks, and everything is labelled by new location.
- Move. Loaded, moved and placed to the floor plan, usually overnight or over a weekend.
- Settle. Desks and furniture in place, crates collected afterward.
Equipment and IT
We move computers, printers and servers safely packed. Disconnecting and reconnecting networks should be handled by your IT provider, and we'll schedule around them. Need somewhere to keep furniture during a renovation? See storage, and get a ballpark from the instant moving estimate.
We can also move a single department, a few desks or a records room, outside business hours so your team keeps working.
What affects the cost of office & commercial moving
Office moving costs depend on the number of workstations, large equipment such as copiers and safes, the building rules at both locations and whether the move happens after hours. Crate rental, furniture disassembly, elevator restrictions and long carries from the loading dock add time. A site visit at both locations is the only way to price it properly. Having staff pack their own desks before moving day, and labelling everything to the new floor plan, keeps the crew's time focused on the move itself.
Office & Commercial Moving questions
Can you move us over a weekend?
Yes. Evening and weekend moves are common for offices, so staff leave on Friday and start on Monday in the new space.
Do you move retail stores and clinics?
Yes. Stores, clinics and other commercial spaces have their own fixtures and equipment, and we plan for them in the site visit.
How do staff pack their desks?
We provide crates and labels with instructions. Each person packs their own desk, and we deliver it to the matching spot.
Do you take apart cubicles?
Many systems can be taken apart and rebuilt. Tell us the brand if you know it, and we'll confirm during the site visit.
How far ahead should an office move be planned?
Start planning at least a month ahead for small offices and longer for larger ones, especially if your building needs elevator bookings or insurance certificates.
