Business hours are for business. We schedule around your operations — including overnight and weekend moves — so your team walks in Monday to a finished office, at the same rate as a weekday move.
⭐ Professional Service
Our trained movers arrive on time, handle your equipment and furniture with care, and work efficiently to keep disruption to your business at a minimum.

No hidden fees or surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay, with crew size, access, and equipment needs already factored in — nothing added on the day.
Commercial & Office Moving in Chicago: What to Expect
🚛 Loading Dock & Freight Elevator Windows
As commercial movers in Chicago, we work Loop and River North loading docks daily. Downtown buildings require an advance dock reservation and cap freight elevator time to a set window — we coordinate directly with building management and size the crew to move fast within it.
🅿️ Where the Truck Actually Parks
For most office moves, the truck sits at the loading dock or a reserved dock spot — no street permit needed. On a block with no dock and only restricted curb access, we file an enforceable CDOT permit ourselves; you never contact the city.
🖥️ IT Relocation Services & Server Coordination
As office movers specializing in IT relocation, we handle servers, networking equipment, and workstation disconnect/reconnect timing. We work with your IT team’s schedule, or manage the physical disconnect and reconnect ourselves end-to-end.
📜 COI & Building Sign-Off
Nearly every Chicago commercial building requires a Certificate of Insurance with specific coverage limits before they’ll approve your move date. We provide it promptly, matched to your building’s exact requirements.
What Commercial Office Moving Costs in Chicago
How We Price Office Moves
Custom Quote After a Quick Site Walk-Through
Office moves vary too much by floor count, equipment, and access for a generic number to mean much — we scope it and quote it before you commit.
💵 What Drives the Price
Office moving services in Chicago price out differently depending on size — a five-person suite and a 40-person floor are different jobs. Pricing is hourly and scales with crew size, floor count, and how much disassembly and IT coordination the move needs, so we don’t publish a flat rate. What we can promise is a real number, not a range — we walk your space, scope the crew and equipment, and give you a firm quote before you commit to a date.
📅 When to Book
Small suite moves book out fastest and can often be scheduled 1–2 weeks ahead. Larger relocations involving multiple floors, IT coordination, or a specific weekend window need more runway — plan on 4–8 weeks so we can lock dock times, freight elevator reservations, and a crew sized to your move. For bigger organizations, a phased office move — department by department or floor by floor — often keeps more of the business running during the transition, and takes longer to schedule than a single-weekend move.
Every quote includes: a crew sized to your office, a dedicated move coordinator, furniture and cubicle disassembly/reassembly, workstation labeling, a Certificate of Insurance, and basic liability coverage.

Common questions about business relocation and commercial office moves in Chicago.
Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance for our building?
Yes. Most Chicago commercial buildings require one with specific coverage limits. Send us your building’s requirements and we’ll have the COI ready before your move date.
Where do you park, and how do you handle loading docks?
Most office moves work from a reserved loading dock spot — no street permit needed. On a block with no dock and only restricted curb access, we file an enforceable CDOT permit ourselves. For the full picture, see our Chicago moving permits and parking guide.
How much does an office move cost in Chicago?
It depends on crew size, floor count, and equipment, so we don’t quote a flat rate site-unseen. Pricing is hourly, and we give you a firm number after a quick walk-through of your space — before you commit to a date.
How far in advance should we book our office move?
Small suites: 1–2 weeks is usually enough. Larger relocations or a specific weekend window: plan on 4–8 weeks so we can lock dock times and freight elevator reservations.
Can you move us over the weekend or after hours?
Absolutely — it’s our specialty for commercial clients. We can start Friday evening and have you operational by Monday morning with proper planning.
Do you offer IT relocation services for servers and networking equipment?
Yes. We carefully pack monitors, CPUs, and peripherals, and coordinate with your IT team for proper server and network-gear shutdown and reconnection — or handle the disconnect/reconnect ourselves if you prefer.
What about confidential documents and chain of custody?
We use sealed crates for sensitive files and maintain chain of custody throughout the move. Our team is trained on discretion and professional handling of confidential materials.
Can you do a phased office move instead of one big weekend?
Yes. For larger organizations, a phased office move — department by department or floor by floor — keeps more of the business running during the transition. It takes more scheduling coordination than a single-weekend move, so we plan phased projects further in advance.
