What a commercial move actually requires
Residential moves are about careful handling. Commercial moves are about logistics and speed. Here is how we run a business relocation.
After-hours and weekend scheduling
Most office moves happen Friday evening to Monday morning. We run extra crews on weekends so your team walks into a functional space Monday.
Department-coded packing and labeling
Every box labeled with department, desk number, and priority tier. Crews unload in reverse order — IT first, then desks.
IT / server / conference room specialty
We work with your IT vendor to coordinate server shutdowns, transport, and reconnection windows.
Commercial move pricing
Larger commercial jobs are often quoted as binding flat-rate based on inventory walkthrough. Smaller office moves (10 people or under) bill hourly. Weekend and after-hours pricing is the same as weekday rates.
2 Movers + Truck
Studios, 1-bedroom apartments, light loads. 2-hour minimum.
3 Movers + Truck
2-bedroom apartments, small houses. Fastest per-dollar option.
4 Movers + Truck
3+ bedroom houses, heavy loads. Cuts clock time nearly in half.

Commercial moving FAQ
Do you do walkthroughs before quoting commercial moves?
Yes — for any office over 5 people, we do an on-site walkthrough to build an inventory, identify specialty items, and map the destination layout. Walkthrough is free; written quote within 48 hours.
Can you work after business hours or on weekends?
Yes — this is our standard for commercial moves. Most relocations happen Friday 5pm through Monday 6am. No surcharge for weekend or evening work.
Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for commercial buildings?
Yes. Most commercial buildings require a COI listing the landlord or property manager as additional insured. We issue these at no extra cost within one business day.
Can you coordinate with our IT or A/V vendor?
Yes. For server rooms and A/V-heavy spaces, we schedule around your IT vendor’s shutdown and reconnection windows.
Do you disassemble and reassemble office furniture?
Yes — included. Cubicles, standing desks, conference tables, modular shelving. We label hardware by station.
Can you handle a phased move (some departments first, others later)?
Yes. Larger offices often move in phases — IT Friday, execs Saturday, general staff Sunday. We plan the phasing during the walkthrough.
What about furniture we want to sell or dispose of instead of move?
We can handle disposal, donation pickup, or coordinate with a liquidator. Billed separately based on volume.
Do you do commercial moves in Ottawa’s suburbs (Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans)?
Yes — tech-park moves in Kanata and professional-park moves in Barrhaven/Orleans are frequent bookings. Same service model, same transparent pricing.
Can you handle a commercial move from Ottawa to Toronto or Montreal?
Yes — long-distance commercial relocations are common when a business opens a branch or consolidates. Binding flat-rate quotes after a walkthrough.
