Why Ottawa Businesses Choose Our Office Movers
A good commercial move is about more than trucks and labour. It is about keeping your relocation organized, protecting your equipment, and getting your business set up faster on the other side.
Downtime Reduction Strategy
We help businesses plan around operating hours, team schedules, and building access windows so the move creates less disruption for staff and clients.
Zone-Based Organization
Rooms, desks, departments, and workstations can be labelled and staged so items land in the right place instead of becoming a reassembly problem later.
Professional Moving Crews
Your move reflects on your business. Our crews arrive uniformed, coordinated, and ready to work professionally in front of your staff, building management, and clients.
Building & Logistics Awareness
Elevators, loading docks, reserved move windows, access cards, and downtown constraints all affect commercial moves. We plan around them upfront.
Insurance Documentation Available
For office towers, management groups, clinics, and larger facilities, we can provide insurance documentation when required for access approval.
Commercial Experience Across Ottawa
From downtown professional offices to Kanata commercial spaces and Gatineau mixed-use routes, our team understands commercial moving across the region.
“The best commercial moves are the ones that feel organized from the first call. Planning, placement, timing, and communication matter just as much as lifting.”
— Men In Trucks Moving Inc., Ottawa
How an Office Move With Us Works
Commercial moves need planning. Our office relocation process is built to keep the job organized from quote to final placement.
1. Site Review & Scope
We review inventory, workstations, access points, timing, and building requirements before quoting the project properly.
2. Scheduling & Coordination
We align your move with elevators, loading docks, management approvals, staff timing, and any after-hours needs.
3. Label & Zone Plan
Departments, rooms, desks, and destination areas are organized in advance to reduce confusion at the new location.
4. Move Execution
Our commercial crew loads, transports, and unloads your business assets with careful handling and steady communication.
5. Placement & Walkthrough
We place items where they belong, confirm completion, and help your team start re-setup with less downtime.
Office Move Prep in Ottawa: Building Access and Truck Parking
Sort out the building before the boxes: settle these points with your property manager at both addresses before move day. For the wider timeline, see our step-by-step office moving checklist.
With each building
- Reserve the freight or service elevator and the loading dock for your move window, at both addresses.
- Ask which hours the building allows moves, and whether floor, wall or elevator protection is required.
- Ask whether the mover must send a certificate of insurance. We can provide one on request: tell us early, with the exact name and wording the property manager wants.
- Arrange keys, access cards, alarm codes and security sign-in for the crew.
- Pass on any truck height or length limit at the dock or underground loading area.
Truck parking and City permits
- No dock? Check the parking rules where the truck will stop. The City of Ottawa says a moving truck that abides by existing parking regulations does not need a permit.
- Anything outside those regulations generally needs a temporary encroachment permit from the City. As of October 2026 the City requires a minimum of 10 business days to process one, so apply early and confirm the current rules on the City page.
- Moving companies are not eligible for the City’s temporary consideration parking permits.
- On private lots and in business parks, ask the landlord where a truck may stand and for how long.
With your team and IT
- Label every desk, crate and monitor with a zone or desk number, and post the floor plan at the new space.
- Ask your IT provider to back up data and to handle shutdown and reconnection of servers and network equipment. Tell us their window so the move can be planned around it.
- Leased copier or printer? Ask the leasing company who is allowed to move it.
- Decide what gets archived or shredded before the move. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada’s guidance on retention and disposal says an organization planning a move should keep personal information safeguarded or dispose of it safely.
- Have staff take laptops, personal items and anything confidential themselves.
Commercial Moving Companies in Ottawa: What to Compare
Most businesses comparing commercial moving companies Ottawa has to offer are weighing the same four things. Knowing them makes the quotes easier to read side by side.
Who actually shows up. Ask who will be on site, who leads the crew, and whether they have moved offices before. Corporate relocation runs on people who have handled server racks and filing systems before, and who can be briefed once and trusted with a floor plan.
When they can work. The cheapest commercial move is the one that does not cost you a trading day. Ask which evening or weekend windows the mover can actually staff, and get the hourly rate for that window in writing before you commit.
How the quote is built. A walkthrough-based scope beats a phone estimate for anything past a few workstations. Ask what happens if the job runs long, and get that answer before you sign.
Whether they know the building. Loading dock booking, freight elevator windows and certificate-of-insurance requirements differ across downtown towers, Kanata tech parks and Nepean business parks. A local commercial mover has usually done your building before.
Men In Trucks Moving is an Ottawa-based commercial mover, licensed and insured, working across the city and surrounding region. If you are searching for commercial movers near me and want a scope built from an actual walkthrough rather than a guess, request a quote or call 613-800-0917.
Cost of Office Movers in Ottawa
The cost of hiring office movers Ottawa businesses trust depends on the size of the office, number of movers, amount of furniture and equipment, building access, moving distance, and whether the move needs to happen after-hours or on a weekend.
Smaller office moves may be completed efficiently with a compact crew and shorter timeline. Larger commercial moves often require more planning, more labour, and phased relocation. If you are comparing options, our Ottawa moving cost guide explains how we quote moves based on real scope rather than guessing.
Smaller office moves (around 10 people or fewer) are billed hourly on our published crew rates. Larger commercial relocations are usually quoted as one price after an inventory walkthrough, so you know the number before your team packs a single box.
Inside Ottawa, the published rates are $150 an hour for two movers and a truck, $195 for three movers and $245 for four, plus HST, with fuel included. Two- and three-mover crews have a three-hour minimum, and local jobs carry a one-hour travel fee at the crew’s rate. Your quote states the hourly rate and the minimum for your crew before you commit.
Typical pricing factors include elevator reservations, loading dock access, workstation count, filing systems, conference room furniture, fragile items, and setup complexity at the destination.
What moves the price up or down
- Crew size and hours. The main driver. More workstations, files and furniture mean more crew time.
- Access at both ends. Elevator waits, long carries from the dock and stairs all add time on the clock.
- Disassembly and reassembly. Taking desks and cubicles apart and rebuilding them adds crew time.
- Packing. If our crew packs for you, it is billed as labour time. See packing services in Ottawa.
- Location. Moves that start or end outside Ottawa, including the Gatineau side, are priced as a flat amount for the first three hours, then hourly.
- Heavy or specialty items. Safes, large copiers and similar pieces are quoted separately with the crew and equipment they need.
- Storage and disposal. Storage between leases and removal of furniture you are not keeping are quoted as separate lines.
Typical Commercial Move Ranges
- Small office: 1–5 staff, compact furniture footprint, simpler access
- Mid-size office: 5–20 staff, multiple departments, more coordination
- Larger commercial move: 20+ staff, multiple zones, more planning and staging
For a precise quote, send your addresses, business type, move date, square footage, and a rough inventory list. The more detail we have, the better your office relocation quote will be.
What to Send Us for an Office Moving Quote
- Both addresses, with floor and suite numbers
- Your target date or window, and any lease deadline
- Number of workstations and staff
- Large pieces: boardroom tables, reception desks, storage cabinets, safes, large printers or copiers
- Number of file boxes and filing cabinets
- IT equipment: computers, monitors and any server rack, and who disconnects and reconnects it
- Each building’s rules: elevator and dock booking, move hours, certificate of insurance
- Extras: furniture disassembly, packing, storage between leases, items to dispose of
- Photos or a floor plan, if you have them
On the form, choose Commercial / office as the type of move. Prefer to talk it through? Call 613-800-0917.
