Office Movers in Sydney
Office movers get judged on one thing: whether your team can work on Monday. We move Sydney businesses after hours and over weekends, with a written plan built backwards from the hour you reopen, so people log off in one building and log on in the next.
Always included
What’s included in every commercial move
One project manager, one written plan, and a building-access process that doesn’t start on the night.
- A free site survey at both addresses before we quote
- A written move plan with sequence, timings and responsibilities
- Certificates of currency supplied to both building managers
- Dock and service lift bookings arranged and confirmed
- Lift, floor and doorframe protection installed and removed
- Workstation dismantling and reinstallation to your floor plan
- IT and equipment handling, disconnected, crated and reconnected in place
- Labelled crate hire delivered ahead of the move and collected after
- $1 million public liability and goods in transit cover on everything we touch
- One project manager from survey through to the first morning back

We quote commercial moves from the site, not from a phone call.
Built for Sydney buildings
Commercial moves fail at the loading dock, not on the truck
Sydney towers run on rules. Docks are booked in blocks and close on time. Service lifts need reserving days ahead. Building management will not let a crew past the turnstiles without a certificate of currency, induction paperwork and sometimes a security escort.
A commercial move that misses one of those does not run an hour late. It stops until the next available window, which is often the next weekend.
We deal with both building managers during the survey, so the paperwork is done long before the trucks arrive. Our crews are UNN employees, which matters here: inductions and site access are ours to sort, not a subcontractor’s problem to discover at the turnstile.
-
Dock bookings at both ends
We confirm the loading dock windows in and out, then build the move sequence around them rather than hoping the timing works.
-
Certificates of currency
Both building managers get proof of our $1 million public liability before the date, not an email on the night asking who to send it to.
-
Service lifts and after-hours access
Lifts reserved, security notified, access cards and escorts arranged. Most towers need all three and none of it happens quickly.
-
Protection that satisfies the building
Lift padding, floor runners and corner guards go in before the first crate and come out after the last. Buildings inspect for damage and so do we.
Every kind of site
Commercial relocations we handle in Sydney
Commercial relocation in Sydney covers a lot of very different buildings, and each type has its own access rules and its own definition of downtime.
-
Offices & corporate floors
From a ten person suite to a full tower floor, moved between trading days.
-
Retail & hospitality
Shopfronts, cafes and showrooms, worked around centre trading hours and dock rules.
-
Warehouse & light industrial
Racking, stock and equipment relocated with the right lifting gear.
-
Medical & dental practices
Chairs, cabinetry and sensitive equipment moved with the practice barely closed.
-
Schools & education
Classrooms, libraries and admin offices, usually run through term breaks.
-
Co-working & serviced offices
Single tenancy moves in and out of shared buildings with strict access rules.
-
Server rooms & IT
Racks, comms cabinets and workstations decommissioned, crated and reconnected.
-
Fit-outs & staged moves
Floor by floor over several nights, sequenced around the builder’s program.
Employee relocation
Moving staff, not just the office
When a business relocates or brings someone in from another city, the office move is only half the job. Someone still has to organise the household, and it usually lands on HR, an EA, or the employee in the middle of their first fortnight.
We run employee and staff relocations under the same account as your commercial move. One agreement, one set of insurance certificates, one invoice, and a coordinator who deals with the employee directly so your team isn’t forwarding emails about wardrobe boxes.
That covers household moves within Sydney, relocations in from Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Adelaide or Hobart, temporary storage while someone finds a permanent place, and packing for people who simply do not have the time.
If you relocate people regularly, we set up an account with agreed rates so each move is a booking rather than a fresh negotiation.
Pricing
How commercial moves are quoted
Office moves are not quoted by the hour over the phone. We survey both sites, count what is actually moving, check the access at each end, then give you a fixed project price and a written plan.
-
How it’s priced

-
Downtime
Trading the next morning
Planned backwards from your reopen time
Why we survey instead of quoting over the phone
Dock height, lift capacity, floor level, carry distance from the dock to the tenancy, how much furniture is actually coming and how much is being left behind. None of that survives a phone call.
A phone quote on a commercial job is a number that changes later, usually once the crates are already on site and you have no room to move. The survey costs you nothing and takes about half an hour per address.
Reschedules are free. Fit-outs run late and handovers get pushed, and we plan for it rather than charging for it. Give us more than 24 hours and moving the date costs nothing.
What affects your quote
-
Size of the site
Workstation count, storage, and how much is actually coming with you.
-
Access at both ends
Dock windows, service lifts, floor levels and carry distances.
-
IT setup
Whether we are moving desktops and monitors, or racks and comms cabinets.
-
Timing
After hours and weekend work, and how many nights the move spans.
-
Crates & packing
Crate hire volume, and whether staff pack their own desks.
-
Make good
Whether the old site needs a defit, rubbish removal or a handover clean.
Equipment
Kit built for commercial sites
Cardboard boxes and a couple of trolleys do not move an office floor. Commercial work needs gear that loads fast, stacks safely and protects a building you do not own.
Labelled crate hire
Reusable crates delivered ahead of the move, colour coded to your new floor plan.
Panel trolleys & skates
For partitions, cabinets, safes and anything too heavy to lift by hand.
Building protection
Lift padding, floor runners, corner guards and doorframe protection at both ends.
IT crates & anti-static
Purpose built crates for monitors, desktops, comms gear and server hardware.
How it works
How a Sydney office move runs
-
01 Step
Site survey
We walk both sites, count workstations, check dock and lift access, and agree the reopen deadline.
-
02 Step
Plan & paperwork
Written move plan, fixed price, certificates of currency lodged, docks and lifts booked at both ends.
-
03 Step
Crates & labelling
Crates delivered in advance and colour coded to the new floor plan, so nothing needs directing on the night.
-
04 Step
Move & reinstate
After hours or over a weekend. Workstations rebuilt, IT reconnected, crates collected once you have unpacked.

-
Real-time GPS tracking
Know where each truck is across a multi-vehicle move.
-
On-time guarantee
The plan runs backwards from your reopen time.
-
No cancellation fees
Handover pushed? Reschedule at no charge.
-
One project manager
Survey to first morning back. Brief them once.
Coverage
Commercial removalists Sydney wide
We move businesses anywhere in the Sydney metro, and we know the building rules in the districts where most of the work sits. Our base is in Parramatta, so western and north-western sites don’t carry a CBD travel premium. North Sydney is one of our busiest corridors, from the Miller Street towers through Crows Nest and St Leonards. Office removals in North Sydney live or die on dock access, because those docks are small, tightly booked and shared between tenancies, so we lock your window in during the survey rather than the week of the move.

Services businesses book with an office move
An office move is rarely just furniture. These are the services businesses add to the same job so the old site is handed back finished.
