Commercial and office moving

For an office or a store, the moving company will often want to visit or get a floor plan before confirming a price. The work can be done in the evening or on weekends to limit disruption, depending on each company's availability and rates.

• Work window

  State when operations can be interrupted and the key handover deadline.

• IT equipment

  Plan who unplugs, labels and reconnects workstations and servers; it is not always included.

• Labelling plan

  A code per room or workstation speeds up set-up at destination.

• Approximate floor area and number of workstations.
• Furniture to disassemble: desks, partitions, conference tables, filing cabinets.
• Archives, boxes and heavy equipment (copiers, safes, shelving).
• Schedule and access constraints at both addresses.

• State the floor at both addresses and whether stairs are indoor, outdoor or spiral.
• Elevator: say whether one is available, whether it must be booked and whether there is a service elevator.
• Parking: estimate the distance between the truck and the door, and mention narrow streets, alleys or no-stopping zones.
• Loading dock: say whether there is one and whether it must be booked.
• Some building managers require proof of the moving company's insurance before granting access; check these requirements early.

• Submit your request several weeks in advance if your date falls between mid-June and mid-July.
• Say whether your date is flexible: a weekday or a date shifted by a few days can make scheduling easier.
• Some municipalities or boroughs require a permit to reserve curb space for the truck; check with your city.
• Even for an office, avoid late June and early July if you can: crews are in high demand for residential moves.
