What Drives Move Costs

Commercial office moves are priced based on volume, distance, and complexity. This calculator uses industry benchmarks from commercial moving providers.

Piece count is estimated at 6–8 items per person — desks, chairs, pedestals, monitor arms, and accessories.

Move type is the biggest cost driver. Internal rearrangements cost far less than cross-country relocations due to trucking and labor.

Building factors like stairs, elevators, and after-hours requirements add labor time and complexity surcharges.

Move Planning Tips

Get building COIs early — Both origin and destination buildings typically require Certificates of Insurance from your mover. Allow 1–2 weeks for processing.

Reserve elevators — Book freight elevator access well in advance. Most buildings require a reservation and may charge for dedicated use.

Consider a phased move — Moving in phases (by department or floor) minimizes downtime and lets you keep operations running during the transition.

Audit before you move — Liquidate or dispose of unwanted furniture before the move. Every piece you don’t move saves $25–$50+ in moving costs.
