How We Plan Your Commercial Move

A successful business move starts well before the trucks arrive. Here is how we approach it.

Walkthrough and free estimate: One of our relocation specialists visits your current space to review your furniture, equipment, and building access, then gives you a clear estimate.
Custom relocation plan: We build a schedule around your business hours, lease dates, and building rules at both locations, including night or weekend moves when needed.
Packing and protection: Our crews pack and pad furniture, electronics, and records, and protect floors, walls, and elevators in both buildings.
Move day: Trained crews load, transport, and unload efficiently, keeping confidential documents and IT assets secure throughout.
Setup at your new space: We reassemble furniture and place items according to your floor plan, so your team can get back to work right away.

How Much Does a Commercial Move Cost?

Commercial moving costs depend on the scope of the job. The biggest factors are the size of your office or facility, the number of movers and trucks required, how long the move takes, and access at both buildings, such as elevator availability and loading dock time. Night and weekend scheduling, packing and crating, and storage also affect the total.

Because every business is different, we give each client a free, detailed estimate before the move, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. For larger relocations, an on-site walkthrough helps us quote accurately and plan the right crew size.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Mover

The mover you hire affects how quickly your business gets back to normal. Before you sign, look for these qualities:

Verified credentials: Confirm the company is licensed and insured, and look up its US DOT number on the FMCSA company snapshot tool.
Commercial experience: Ask about recent moves similar to yours in size and industry.
After-hours availability: Make sure the mover can work nights or weekends if your business cannot close during the week.
A detailed written estimate: A reliable mover explains how your price is calculated before the move, not after.
Added services: Packing, crating, storage, and furniture reassembly from one company simplify coordination.

Office Moving Tips for Business Owners

Contact both buildings early: Ask each property manager about elevator reservations, loading dock hours, and certificate of insurance (COI) requirements, and send those requirements to your mover.
Plan your IT cutover: Schedule internet, phone, and network setup at the new space before move day, and have your IT team handle disconnecting and reconnecting servers and network equipment.
Label by floor plan: Mark every box and piece of furniture with its destination room or desk number so crews can place everything correctly the first time.
Purge before you pack: Shred outdated files and sell or donate surplus furniture so you only pay to move what you need.
Update your address everywhere: Notify clients and vendors, and update your website, Google Business Profile, and online directory listings so customers can find you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Moving

How much do commercial movers cost in Northern Virginia?

The cost of commercial moving services depends on the size of your office, the number of movers and trucks needed, how long the move takes, and whether it is scheduled after hours or on a weekend. Packing, crating, and storage are priced separately. Craig Van Lines provides free estimates, and larger moves usually start with an on-site walkthrough so your quote is accurate.

Can you move our office after hours or on weekends?

Yes. We schedule commercial moves on nights and weekends so your team can leave on Friday and return to a working office on Monday. After-hours scheduling is one of the most effective ways to limit downtime for your business.

How far in advance should we plan an office move?

A good rule of thumb is two to three months for a small office and six months or more for a large office or multi-floor relocation. That gives you time to review your lease, coordinate with both buildings, plan your IT cutover, and book your preferred move date.

Do you move computers and IT equipment?

Yes. We pack and transport computers, monitors, printers, and other IT assets with protective materials and secure handling. We recommend that your IT team or vendor disconnect and reconnect network equipment so your systems come back online quickly at the new location.

Do you offer storage for businesses?

Yes. Craig Van Lines offers short-term and long-term storage for business assets in secure, climate-controlled facilities. Storage is useful when your new space is not ready, during renovations, or when you need to hold surplus furniture, files, or inventory.

Do you handle government and school relocations?

Yes. We handle federal, state, and local government moves as well as educational facility relocations, including secure handling of records, lab equipment, and classroom assets.
