IT relocation: the cost factors from server to printer

Price and planning

Unsere Firma Amount of hardware, server cabinet, packaging and date – these give the price of an IT relocation.

An IT relocation makes special demands on care and scheduling, because servers, network equipment and data storage media must not be damaged. At “Beste Umzug Unternehmen” you receive a fixed price for your computer relocation after the survey, listing all agreed services. Our team dismantles computers, monitors and peripherals, transports them and sets them up again at the new location. Padding and anti-static packaging protect sensitive hardware against transport damage.

We are liable for damage to equipment under the HGB (up to €620 per m³); for expensive servers and storage systems, additional insurance makes sense. We label cables and devices according to a plan so that every connection ends up in the right place at the new location. We coordinate configuration, connection to the network and function tests with your IT or IT service provider. This keeps your server relocation plannable – with clear responsibilities and without unexpected extra costs.

CARE WITH EQUIPMENT

How we move equipment safely and predictably

A clear division of tasks with your IT

In a company relocation with a lot of equipment, a clear division of tasks is what counts: we take care of dismantling, packing, transporting and setting up the hardware, while your IT or service provider takes care of shutting down, data backup and commissioning. We are liable for damage under the German Commercial Code (HGB); additional insurance for servers is available on request. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and also drive nationwide and on long-distance moves; you will find destinations with their own page under Locations. We give you the price as a fixed price after a survey.

Packaging

Monitors, computers and printers travel padded and in anti-static packaging – this protects the hardware and is a separate item in the IT relocation.

Labelling

Every device and every cable is given a number according to the room plan. That way everything is in its place at the new location and commissioning is quicker.

Server cabinet

Racks are heavy and delicate. Whether they are transported fitted or empty is something we clarify beforehand with your IT – it affects the effort and the price.

Weekend date

A move on Friday evening or at the weekend often costs more but saves downtime. On Monday, equipment and desks are ready thanks to furniture transport.
COST FACTORS

What determines the price of an IT relocation

The costs of an IT relocation depend on the scope, distance and technical effort. These factors help you compare quotes and plan the budget realistically.

01

Amount of hardware

The number of workstations, monitors, printers and telephones determines packing and time. An up-to-date inventory is the basis for the fixed price.
02

Server room

Racks, UPS units and storage systems are heavy and delicate. They need more staff, pallet trucks and time than normal workstations.
03

Packaging

Anti-static covers, padding and sturdy boxes protect the equipment. Whether material is included in the price is stated explicitly in the quote.
04

Date

Moving in the evening or at the weekend reduces downtime but can cost more. Weigh up both before the date is set.
05

Route and access

Distance, floors, lift and the way to the lorry work the same for an IT relocation as for any other. A goods lift saves a lot of time here.
06

Liability

By law, removal companies are liable at €620 per cubic metre. For expensive servers this is often not enough – additional insurance belongs in the budget.
FOR INDIVIDUAL DEVICES

Save with a part load

Individual devices, a small price
A part load saves costs because empty runs are avoided: individual computers, monitors, printers or a rack travel padded on a route that is planned anyway. Well suited to branch offices, home office equipment and follow-up deliveries – with an agreed collection window, secured cargo and a route that bundles several jobs.

IT IN THE OVERALL MOVE

Equipment, furniture, dates

An IT relocation is usually part of a larger move. If employees move with you or a home office changes flat, we also take care of the private move. For office and company relocations we plan furniture and equipment in one process, so that the desks are in place before the computers arrive. Talk to us if you need several services – we coordinate the order with you and your IT.

The monitor, docking station and printer in the study need the same care as in the office – whether on a private move, a student move with a gaming PC or a senior move with the family computer.

Packing and carrying

With a packing service for devices, furniture transport for desks and racks and a small transport for individual servers, every part of the IT relocation stays manageable – even in a narrow stairwell.

Order and date

In an office move, company relocation or public authority move, the equipment goes out last and comes back in first. Individual devices follow by part load or furniture taxi.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the cost of an IT relocation

Answers on price, liability, data, duration and responsibilities.
There is no credible average price, because the amount of hardware, server room, route and date vary greatly. An office with ten workstations and no server is something completely different from a company with its own data centre. After the survey you receive a fixed price for the agreed services; the costs of your IT service provider come on top.

How an IT relocation works: from planning to reconnection

An IT relocation begins with an inventory of your hardware, cabling and rooms – ideally together with your IT. This results in a moving plan that sets out who does what: shutting down and data backup by your IT, dismantling, packing and transport by us. All devices and cables are labelled according to the room plan so that nothing gets mixed up.

At the destination we place computers, monitors and racks in their intended positions. Connection, configuration and function tests are carried out by your IT or service provider, ideally straight afterwards. This keeps downtime short and everyone knows what they are responsible for. The article IT relocation: avoid these mistakes shows which mistakes to avoid.

Cost factors in an IT relocation at a glance

The costs of an IT relocation depend mainly on the amount of hardware, the size of the server room and the distance between the old and new location. Server cabinets, special packaging or weekend dates also affect the price. As a rule: the better prepared the inventory, the more predictable the total costs.

After the survey you receive a fixed price in which packing material, staff and setting up on site are listed separately. Also factor in the hours of your IT service provider for commissioning and testing. That way you keep your budget fully in view.

Starting prices for flat moves for comparison

Whether a student room or a family home – we have the right price for every move. We move a 1-room flat from €359, a 2-room flat from €599, a 3-room flat from €884 and a 4-room flat from €1,289. For houses and villas there is an individual quote. For long-distance moves we charge from €3.90/km. Arrange a free survey today.

These criteria determine the transport price

  • Amount of belongings
  • Route (from €3.90/km)
  • Floor and use of the lift
  • Parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone)
  • Part load as an option
