What Your Office Move Includes
Every business relocation comes with a dedicated crew, a fully equipped truck, commercial dollies, ramps, and all the padding and wrap your furniture and equipment need. We handle desks, chairs, filing cabinets, conference tables, and cubicle systems. IT equipment including monitors, printers, and networking gear gets anti-static wrap and padded blankets.
Everything gets labeled by workstation and room number before it goes on the truck so your employees know exactly where to sit when they walk in on Monday. One point of contact handles your floor plan, your timeline, and your priorities from estimate to final placement.
Licensed under Cal-T201700 with full cargo and liability insurance on every job. Office moves are billed hourly with a minimum, and pricing is explained upfront. California double drive time applies as required by state regulation.
How Your Office Move Works

-
We move on your schedule. Most businesses choose a weekend or after-hours move to keep operations running without disruption. The crew shows up on time, wraps and loads everything according to your floor plan, and transports it to your new space.
-
You are open for business. We place every desk, chair, and piece of equipment exactly where it belongs in the new office. Your team walks in ready to work, not searching through a pile of unmarked boxes.
Planning Your Office Move
A business relocation has more moving parts than a residential move. A few things that make a real difference in how smoothly it goes:
Start planning earlier than you think you need to. For a small office, two to three weeks is usually enough lead time. For larger offices with server rooms, multiple floors, or a lot of specialized equipment, four to six weeks is more realistic. Weekend slots fill up faster than weekday ones, and most businesses need a weekend move.
Map out your new floor plan before move day. The crew can place every desk and workstation exactly where it belongs if you have a labeled floor plan ready. Without one, placement decisions slow down the unload and often mean furniture gets moved twice.
Have your IT team handle disconnection before we arrive. Our crews are not authorized to disconnect or reconnect cables, monitors, wall mounts, or any electrical equipment. Your IT team or provider should disconnect everything at the old office before the crew starts loading, and reconnect at the new office after we finish placing equipment. Coordinating this in advance prevents the crew from waiting on someone else to finish before they can start.
Label everything before the crew arrives. If your team can label boxes, monitors, and equipment with destination room numbers before move day, the unload goes significantly faster. We label by workstation as we pack and load, but anything your team can do ahead of time reduces time on the clock.
Think about what needs to move first. Some offices have items that cannot be out of service for long — shared printers, specific workstations, server equipment. Knowing the priority order before the crew arrives helps us sequence the load so the most critical things are first off the truck at the new location.
If you need everything packed before the move, our office packing service handles files, supplies, and equipment with materials and labeling systems designed for office environments.
What We Move and What Falls Outside Our Scope
We handle regularly:
- Desks, chairs, and workstations
- Filing cabinets and storage units
- Conference tables and soft seating
- Cubicle and modular panel systems
- Monitors, printers, and networking gear with proper padding and anti-static wrap
- Small kitchen appliances and break room equipment
What requires coordination with other vendors:
- Cable disconnection and reconnection. Your IT team handles this before and after the move.
- Server rack disconnection and physical data migration. Coordinate with your IT provider.
- Wall-mounted equipment including TVs, whiteboards, and monitors. These should be unmounted before the crew arrives.
- Specialized medical or lab equipment that requires certified handling
If you are not sure whether something falls within our scope, ask when you get your estimate.
Office Moving Across the Bay Area
In Oakland, we move offices in and out of the downtown corridor, Jack London Square, and the Uptown district regularly. We know the loading dock schedules and COI requirements in those buildings, and we handle SFMTA-equivalent parking logistics for large trucks in the city.
In Berkeley, startups and nonprofits along University Ave and the Fourth Street corridor have steady office turnover tied to lease cycles. Tight street access and limited loading zones near campus require planning the truck position before the crew arrives.
In Concord and Walnut Creek, professional offices, medical practices, and growing businesses along the BART corridor and in Shadelands Business Park make up a significant part of our commercial work. These moves often happen over weekends when tenants are out of the building and loading docks are available.
For cross-bay moves between San Francisco and the East Bay, we plan around bridge traffic and building freight elevator windows so the move stays on schedule.
If your office furniture needs to be disassembled and reassembled at the new location, our furniture assembly service covers that as part of the move.
Before hiring any commercial mover, verify their California moving license through BHGS. Our license number is Cal-T201700.

Frequently Asked Questions
Office moves are billed hourly with a minimum, and pricing is explained upfront. Crew size, volume of equipment, stairs, elevator access, and distance all affect the total. A small 5-person office typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3–4 person crew, and each additional mover adds roughly $50–$70 per hour to the rate. California double drive time applies as required by state regulation. A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your date and applies to the final invoice.
