Planning and the written quote

Every office relocation starts with a brief: where from, where to, how many workstations or staff, and the timing you need. We turn it into an inventory, check access at both buildings, and write a quote that names what moves, the trucks and team, the move window and any extras. Moveall’s terms tie a fixed-price quote to the inventory list, and extra items found on the day can cost extra, so the inventory is the most important page of the job.

Packing and packing materials

Moveall’s Wrap & Pack service supplies the boxes and packing materials and does the packing, with purpose-made boxes and wrapping for books, heavy items, fragile items, TVs and artwork. On an office move, staff usually pack their own desks, and packing help goes where it saves the most time: the kitchen, the store, the archive, the reception area and anything fragile. Ask whether Wrap & Pack suits your office when you send the brief.

Whoever packs, Moveall’s terms ask for loose items to be in cartons and for furniture to be emptied before it is moved.

Office furniture and fit-outs

Desks, workstations, chairs, pedestals, filing cabinets, meeting and boardroom tables, reception counters and soft furniture are moved wrapped in moving blankets and placed by desk code at the new office. Moveall for Business also handles new furniture fit-outs: furniture from your supplier delivered to the new office and placed to the designer’s plan. Assembling furniture is one of the extra tasks it lists, so put assembly in the brief if you need it. The detail is on office furniture removals.

Hanging artwork

Artwork and framed pieces travel wrapped and are placed where your floor plan puts them. Hanging artwork is on Moveall for Business’s list of extra tasks; mark on the plan where each piece is to hang.

Heavy and bulky items

Some office items need more people or more equipment than the rest of the job. Moveall’s Supercharge option adds team members and specialty equipment for heavy and bulky items. List anything unusually heavy, large or awkward in the brief, with its size and weight if you know it, so the quote and the team match it.

Trucks

Moveall for Business lists 3, 5 and 8 tonne Pantech trucks, enclosed removal trucks, and curtain-siders for palletised side-load freight. The trucks on your job depend on the inventory and on what each building’s dock, laneway or street can take.

Interstate office relocation

When an office moves between states, Moveall Interstate handles door-to-door interstate removals into and out of South Australia, moving entire contents, specialist furniture and cargo across Australia by road and rail freight. Melbourne is 726 km from Adelaide by road and Sydney 1,374 km, on OpenStreetMap road data. Delivery timing is set in the interstate quote.

Trade accounts

Businesses that move furniture or stock regularly can open a Moveall for Business trade account: end-of-month accounts, a dedicated account manager, a custom online booking portal and priority for trade clients. See trade accounts.

Moves within the same building

Not every office relocation leaves the building. Moving a team to another floor, swapping two tenancies or reworking one floor after a refurbishment is planned the same way: an inventory, a coded floor plan, lift bookings with the building manager and a written move window. A move within one building often runs in stages so the teams that are not moving keep working around it. Furniture still travels wrapped, and clear, safe paths are kept through corridors and lift lobbies while trolleys are moving.

Care of furniture and the building

Moveall describes its own approach as strict handling and packaging procedures. On an office move that means furniture wrapped in moving blankets before it leaves the floor, items loaded in the order the plan sets so nothing is stacked out of turn, and clear paths kept between the truck and the door as Moveall’s terms require. If your building asks for lift protection or floor coverings in common areas, tell us in the brief so the quote covers it.

Paying for an office relocation

Moveall takes payment by major credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For local moves, Moveall’s own published process is a deposit to confirm the booking and the balance a day or two after the move; interstate moves are paid in full on the day of the move. Businesses with a trade account are invoiced on end-of-month terms instead.

The parts of an office relocation that belong to other trades

An office relocation brings in several trades. Knowing which job belongs to whom keeps the quotes clean and the timetable honest:

Job	Usually done by
Backing up, disconnecting and reconnecting computers, the network and the server or comms room	Your IT provider
Phone lines, internet and the phone system	Your telecommunications provider
Partitions, joinery, electrical and data cabling at the new office	Your fit-out contractor and electrician
Signage at the new premises	Your signwriter
Security, access cards and alarms	Your building or security provider
Cleaning the old premises for the landlord	Your cleaner
Old furniture you are not keeping	Ask us when you send the brief; if it is not in your quote, arrange its collection separately before moving day

We plan the removal around all of them. Give us their dates and we write the move window to fit.

How to compare office relocation quotes

Quotes for the same office can look very different. When you read one, check:

• Is it based on an inventory? A price with no list behind it is a guess.
• Does it name both buildings and their access? Lifts, docks and parking change the job.
• Is the move window written down? When the move starts, and when the office has to be working.
• Are the extras listed? Packing, assembly, artwork, heavy items.
• What is the cover? Moveall holds $20 million public liability cover; ask any removalist about transit insurance for your contents, and check your own business policy.
• What happens if the inventory changes? Moveall’s terms say extra items on the day can cost extra; know that before the day.
