An Office Move with Professionals: The Advantages
Professional or DIY
Your own people or a moving company: the honest comparison
Benefits compared
Many small companies consider handling their office move with their own staff and a rented van. That can work for a few workstations – but unlike a private move, employees then carry heavy loads during working hours, and the employer is responsible for their protection (§ 2 LasthandhabV). On top of that, anyone who transports furniture and equipment themselves bears any damage themselves. If, on the other hand, you hire a moving company such as Beste Umzug Unternehmen, it is liable for the goods under the German Commercial Code (HGB).
The second big advantage is time: a well-practised team dismantles desks and cabinets, loads the lorry according to plan and reassembles everything at the destination, while your employees keep working or only pack their own workstation. Parking restriction zone, assembly and disposal come from a single provider. You know the price after the survey as a fixed price – compare it honestly with your team's working hours. Places with their own pages can be found under Locations.

What professionals take off your hands in an office move
Four points compared
The difference between a DIY office move and one with a moving company rarely lies in the transport itself, but in everything around it: who dismantles the furniture, who secures the load, who is liable for damage, and who applies for a parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone)? With us, this is settled beforehand – you can find the scope of services under company moves. If the business relocates to another city, we also handle long-distance moves, planned from Berlin (Stromstraße 21).

The middle way: pack yourself, book a shared load
Between DIY and a full-service move there is a middle way: your team packs the boxes itself, and the heavy furniture travels as a shared load on a lorry that is heading your way anyway. A time window applies instead of a fixed day.
Your
move, our craft
Besides the office move itself, professionals also take care of side issues: storing furniture that has no room in the new office yet, disposing of old fittings and setting the workstations up again. If employees move with the business, their private move can be booked separately. Which of this you really need, we clarify during the survey – not every office move needs the full package.

Questions about an office move with professionals
Process of a professional office move
A successful office move begins with a detailed on-site viewing, in which we capture the scope, special requirements and the desired time frame. Afterwards we draw up an individual moving plan that coordinates the packing, transport, disassembly and assembly exactly with one another.
On moving day itself, our team takes over the complete logistics – from the safe packing of sensitive documents to the professional set-up of the workstations in the new office. On request we also take over the labelling and storage of files as well as the disposal of furniture no longer needed.
Costs and tips for your office move
The costs of an office move depend on factors such as the size of the office, number of floors, distance and the additional services needed. With the fixed price after a survey, you know from the start what costs to expect.
Our tip: plan the move early, inform employees about the process in good time and mark important documents in advance. This speeds up the whole process considerably and minimises downtime in day-to-day business.
