Office Removals in Brisbane

UNN is a removalist that moves Brisbane offices after hours, so Monday trades as normal. The truck is never the hard part. The dock window, the lift booking and the building's paperwork are. We sort all three before the date.

What’s included in every commercial move

The things a floor cannot change hands without. None of them are extras.

  • A site survey before the quote not a guess over the phone
  • Dock and service lift booked with building management
  • Certificate of currency sent ahead to both buildings
  • Crates, skates and trolleys delivered before the move
  • Floor, lift and doorframe protection at both ends
  • $20 million public liability plus goods in transit cover
  • Desks and workstations taken apart and rebuilt
  • Screens and comms gear handled and plugged back in
  • A labelled plan so every crate lands at the right desk
  • One coordinator on the phone through the whole window

Commercial moves fail at the dock, not on the truck

The truck is the easy part. Brisbane buildings decide the rest, and they decide it weeks ahead.

Book the site survey

  • Dock and lift windows

    Towers on Eagle Street, Ann Street and through Newstead run their docks in booked blocks. The service lift gets a window of its own. Miss it and you lose the slot, not just an hour. We book both and build the run around them.

  • Certificates and inductions

    Building management wants written proof of cover before a crew reaches the lift. Some towers also want a site induction for everyone going onto the floor. We send the certificate early and get the crew inducted.

  • After hours and weekends

    Most Brisbane offices move on a Friday night or across a Saturday. Access outside business hours is arranged separately, sometimes with security on site. That gets confirmed in writing before the date.

  • Street-level sites with no dock

    Spring Hill terraces, Milton warehouses and West End shopfronts have no dock at all. Those jobs need a loading zone permit, a smaller truck and more crew. Different plan, same deadline.

Commercial relocations we handle in Brisbane

  • CBD tower floors

    Eagle Street and Ann Street. Booked dock, booked lift, a window you cannot overrun.

  • Fortitude Valley & Newstead

    Converted warehouses and new fringe towers. Goods lifts and shared bays.

  • Milton & Toowong

    Suites and small floors. Usually street loading rather than a dock.

  • South Brisbane & West End

    Mixed use buildings with residents upstairs. Noise windows apply.

  • Medical and dental

    Chairs, sterilisers and patient records. Moved out of hours, back open next morning.

  • Retail and showrooms

    Stock, racking and fitout. Centre management sets the access hours, not you.

  • Warehouse and light industrial

    Eagle Farm, Rocklea, Darra. Racking, pallets and a forklift at one end.

  • Defits and make good

    Strip out, clear out and the floor handed back the way the lease reads.

Moving office while Brisbane tightens

Brisbane CBD office vacancy fell to 10.2 per cent in July 2026. Six months before that it sat at 11.8 per cent. The direction matters more than the number.

Tight supply changes how a move runs. Good floors go quickly. The gap between signing and occupying gets short, and the fitout eats most of it.

So book the move when you sign the heads of agreement, not once the fitout is finished. Moving up a grade also means stricter rules than the building you are leaving. Better dock, better lift, longer list of things management wants in writing.

The old space still has to go back the way the lease says. Read the make good clause before you sign anything new. We do the strip out and the clear out, quoted against the clause rather than guessed at.

Defit and clear-out

How commercial moves are quoted

A fixed price off a site survey. No hourly meter running while a lift is tied up.

Book a survey

  • Crew

    3 to 10 movers

    Set by floor area and the dock window

  • Trucks

    8–10T, tail-lift

    Crated, not loose-loaded

  • Typical window

    One night to a weekend

    Staged over weeks for big floors

  • How it is priced

    Fixed, after a survey

    Not an open hourly rate

Why we survey before quoting

Lifts and docks decide an office move. You cannot see either over the phone. A survey takes under an hour and it is free.

It also catches the things that blow a budget late. A lift too small for a boardroom table. A dock that shuts at six. A make good clause nobody has read yet.

What affects your quote

  • Floor area and headcount

    Desks, seats and storage give us the crate count.

  • Dock and lift access

    A booked dock at both ends is quicker than street loading.

  • The window you get

    A Saturday costs differently to a weeknight after six.

  • IT and comms

    Screens, servers and cabling need handling and time.

  • Make good

    Strip out and clear out are quoted against the lease clause.

  • Staging

    Floor by floor over weeks, or everything in one window.

Kit built for commercial sites

Crates on skates

Reusable crates that roll. Faster than cartons and nothing lands on the carpet.

Lift and floor protection

Lift blankets, floor runners and corner guards go in before the first crate.

Server and IT handling

Racks and screens crated and labelled. Plugged back into existing points.

Tail-lift trucks

For sites with no dock. The truck becomes the loading platform.

How a Brisbane office move runs

  1. 01 Step

    Site survey

    We walk both sites, measure the lifts and check the dock rules. The quote comes from what we saw.

  2. 02 Step

    Plan and paperwork

    Dock and lift booked, certificate sent, inductions done. You get the plan in writing.

  3. 03 Step

    Crates go out early

    Crates and labels delivered days ahead so your team packs their own desks.

  4. 04 Step

    The move window

    We load, move and set up inside the booked window. Desks rebuilt and screens back on.

Four things you should not have to chase

  1. The paperwork, done

    Dock, lift, certificate and induction. You do not chase building management.

  2. A fixed price

    Quoted off a survey, not an hourly meter that runs late on a Saturday.

  3. Back trading Monday

    The window is planned backwards from the time your team walks in.

  4. Someone to ring at 11pm

    Your coordinator is on the phone during the move, not the next business day.

Office relocation questions, answered

How much does an office move cost in Brisbane?
It is a fixed price, quoted after a site survey rather than an hourly rate. Floor area, the crate count, the dock access and the window you get all feed into it. We walk both sites before we give you a number.
Why do you survey instead of quoting over the phone?
Because the lifts and the dock decide the plan. A phone quote on a CBD floor is a guess. The gap usually shows up as overtime on a Saturday. The survey is free and takes under an hour.
Can you move us outside business hours?
Yes, and most Brisbane offices do exactly that. Friday night and Saturday are the common windows. Out of hours building access is arranged separately, sometimes with security present, and we confirm it in writing.
Will we be trading on Monday?
That is what the window is planned around. We work backwards from the time your team walks in. Desks go back together, screens go back on, and crates are collected after you have unpacked.
Do you provide crates?
Yes, included. Reusable crates on skates, delivered days before so your team can pack their own desks. We collect them once you are unpacked.
Who packs the desks?
Usually your staff pack their own, which is faster and keeps things where people expect them. We pack the shared areas, the kitchen, storage and anything fragile. We can pack the lot if you prefer.
Can you handle our servers and IT?
We crate, move and reconnect to points that already exist. Structured cabling, patching and anything needing a licensed trade is your IT provider's work. We say so rather than guessing.
Does building management need anything from us?
Usually a certificate of currency and a booked dock and lift. Sometimes a site induction for every person on the floor. We deal with building management at both ends and send the paperwork ahead.
What about the make good on the old space?
Read the clause before you sign anything new, because it sets the scope. We do the strip out and the clear out and quote against the clause. Guessing at make good is how budgets blow out.
Do you move medical and dental practices?
Yes. Chairs, sterilisers, cabinetry and records. These run out of hours so the practice opens the next morning. Patient records travel in sealed crates with a chain of custody.
Can you move us in stages?
Yes. Big floors often go department by department over several weekends. It keeps the business trading and spreads the cost. Your coordinator maps the stages with you.
Do you take the old furniture away?
Yes, as part of the defit or on its own. Anything still usable we can set aside for donation or resale. The rest is sorted and tipped at a licensed facility.
Are you insured for commercial work?
Every job carries $20 million public liability, plus goods in transit cover. Most Brisbane buildings want the certificate before the crew reaches the lift. We send it ahead without being asked.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as the lease is signed, not when the fitout finishes. Brisbane floors are turning over quickly and the good weekend windows go first. Four to six weeks is comfortable for a full floor.
Do you move out to Ipswich and the Western corridor?
Yes, and to Eagle Farm, Rocklea and the bayside business parks. Those runs add drive time, which goes into the fixed price rather than onto the invoice later.
What if the dock window gets changed on us?
It happens, usually at the new building. Your coordinator deals with management and reworks the run. The price is fixed, so a shifted window is our problem. Not something you pay for.
