What does an office move cost at Beste Umzug Unternehmen?

The costs of an office move depend on the number of workstations, the distance and required additional services. We fundamentally offer a transparent fixed price , so no hidden costs arise. After a free viewing, you receive an individual, binding quote by phone on 01625978461.

Is my company inventory insured during the move?

As a moving company, we are liable for your company inventory under the German Commercial Code (HGB), limited to €620 per cubic metre of loading space (§ 451e HGB). Report visible damage no later than the day after delivery, and hidden damage within 14 days (§ 451f HGB). For expensive equipment, additional insurance is available on request.

How can ongoing business operations be protected during the move?

We plan every office move so that business operations are disturbed as little as possible, say through moves at weekends or in the evening hours. Departments are moved one after another, so important processes can continue. Close coordination with your IT department moreover ensures a fast restart of the systems.

Do you also take over the disassembly and assembly of office furniture?

Yes, disassembly and assembly are a fixed part of our office-move service. Our team professionally dismantles desks, shelves and filing cabinets, transports them safely and reassembles everything swiftly at the new site, so your staff can work again straight away.

How safely is our IT infrastructure transported?

In every office move , servers, monitors and network equipment are secured with special packing material and shockproof transport boxes. We label the cables before dismantling; your IT team makes a complete backup beforehand so that data is safe even if a device is damaged.

Do you also offer moves over larger distances?

Yes, alongside regional office moves, we also carry out long-distance moves for companies relocating their site to another city or region. In doing so, we plan the transport, logistics and schedule so that long distances too are managed reliably and on schedule.

Can individual departments also move separately?

Yes, many companies opt for a staggered office move , in which departments move one after another. That way business operations stay active in other areas. We coordinate the process so that handovers work smoothly and no work processes are unnecessarily interrupted.

Do you also take care of the disposal of old office furniture?

Yes, as part of an office move , on request we also offer the professional disposal or recovery of office furniture and old devices no longer needed. That way you do not have to see to any additional logistics and the new site starts tidy and ready for operation.

How early should an office move be planned?

We recommend starting to plan an office move about three months in advance. That leaves enough time for the inventory, coordinating dates with landlords and organising the IT changeover. If you need us at short notice, we can also help with quick solutions on 01625978461.

Do you also offer moving services for staff who move privately?

Yes, in addition to the office move , we also offer support via our home-move service for staff who also change their place of residence in the course of the company relocation. That way you receive all moving services conveniently from a single source.

In which regions are you active for office moves?

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and handle office moves in Berlin and as long-distance moves to other cities; places with their own pages can be found under Locations . Whether a local move within a city or a relocation to another region – our team plans and carries out your move reliably and at a fair fixed price.

Planning an Office Move: Step by Step

Q: How long does a typical office move take?

The duration of an office move depends on the company size and the scope of the equipment. Smaller offices with up to 10 workstations are often moved within a day; larger company moves can take several days. We draw up an individual schedule that is coordinated with your business hours , in order to minimise downtime.

Planning an office move: six steps from giving notice to re-registering

Step by step

Unsere Firma Planning an office move in six steps: lease, quote, IT and parking restriction, files, moving day and re-registration.

An office move can be broken down into six steps. Step 1, about three months beforehand: clarify the space you need, sign the new lease and give notice on the old one in time – for commercial premises without any other contractual rule, by the third working day of a quarter to the end of the next (§ 580a BGB). Step 2: obtain quotes. At Beste Umzug Unternehmen this starts with a free survey, after which you receive a fixed price. Step 3, around six weeks beforehand: order the internet connection and apply for the parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone).

Step 4, about four weeks beforehand: sort out files according to retention periods (§ 147 AO), finalise the room plan and brief employees. Step 5, moving week: make a backup, pack the workstations, then dismantling, transport and reassembly according to plan, at the weekend if you wish. Step 6, around moving day and afterwards: notify the trade office (Gewerbeamt) of the business relocation (§ 14 GewO), change the address in the commercial register, update addresses and report damage in time. If employees are moving house privately too, our private moving service helps; we describe the company side under company moves.

STEP BY STEP

Which steps we take on

And which lie with you

Of the six steps, two lie mainly with us: the survey with a fixed price and moving day itself, with dismantling, transport and assembly of the office furniture. On request we also apply for the parking restriction zone. The lease, provider, files, trade office and data backup remain with you – but we tell you by when each point should be done so that the office move stays on schedule. We are liable for goods under the German Commercial Code (§ 451e HGB).

Steps 1–2

Clarify the lease, obtain quotes, arrange a survey – in the first weeks, around three months beforehand.

Step 3

Order the internet connection from the provider and apply for the parking restriction zone – in Berlin the service portal states a processing time of around four weeks.

Steps 4–5

Sort files by deadline, finalise the room plan, make a backup and pack – on moving day, dismantling, transport and reassembly follow.

Step 6

Update the trade office, commercial register and all addresses, report damage in time and hand over the old premises.

ON SCHEDULE

What we do for you

A schedule for an office move only works with a buffer. These six points help you keep to the steps – even if a date shifts.

Plan backwards

Start with the desired moving day and count backwards: by when must notice be given, orders placed and applications submitted?

Build in a buffer

Allow a few days' leeway between key handover and moving out in case tradespeople in the new office take longer.

Share the milestones

Put the schedule up where everyone can see it; each milestone gets a responsible person and a fixed date.

Book the moving company firmly

Once the date is fixed, book the moving company firmly – no later than four to six weeks before the move.

Stagger departments

Larger offices often move department by department; that way operations continue in the other areas.

Plan for follow-up work

Re-registrations, address changes and the handover of the old premises still need a few days after moving day.

FOR INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS

A small move on schedule: shared load

Save on smaller loads

If only one department or a small office is moving, a shared load may fit the schedule: furniture and boxes travel on a lorry that is heading your way anyway. Plan for a time window instead of a fixed day, which we agree with you in advance.

So you can relax

Alongside the six steps of the office move, side projects often run in parallel: storing furniture until the new office is ready, moving the server room separately or disposing of old fittings. For companies moving to another city, we plan long-distance moves with their own schedule. If employees move house privately as part of the relocation, their private move can be timed for the same period. That way all the dates fit together.

Planning safe and relaxed

The same schedule helps with employees' private moves: around three months' notice for tenants (§ 573c BGB), registration within two weeks of moving in (§ 17 BMG).

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

Schedule the packing service and furniture transport firmly into step 5; individual pieces of furniture that are only delivered after moving day follow later by small transport.

Costs, timing and special cases

For an office move and company move: plan backwards from moving day. Small partial loads can be moved outside the main move as a shared load or by furniture taxi.

FAQ

Questions about planning

Duration, costs, liability, business operations, departments and lead time – answered briefly.

The duration of an office move depends on the company size and the scope of the equipment. Smaller offices with up to 10 workstations are often moved within a day; larger company moves can take several days. We draw up an individual schedule that is coordinated with your business hours, in order to minimise downtime.

Process of a professional office move

A successful office move begins with a detailed stocktaking of all furniture, devices and files. This is followed by the drawing up of an individual moving plan that clearly defines responsibilities, time windows and priorities. Especially important is early communication with all staff, so the transition to the new site succeeds without friction losses.

On moving day itself, our specialists take over the disassembly of the office furniture, the safe transport as well as the swift reassembly on site. In parallel, the IT infrastructure is professionally dismantled, transported and put back into operation at the new site. That way we minimise downtime and ensure a seamless start of operations.

Costs and factors in the office move

The costs of an office move depend on several factors, including the number of workstations, the distance between the old and new site as well as the scope of the technology to be transported. Additional services such as furniture assembly, storage or disposal of old equipment also influence the total price. With our transparent fixed-price model, you receive full cost certainty from the start.

A further cost factor is the timing of the move, since weekend or night dates often spare ongoing business operations. We advise you individually on which choice of date is economically sensible for your company. That way you receive a tailored quote that fits exactly your budget and schedule.
