Do you handle building access and certificates of insurance?

Yes. Most Montreal office towers require a certificate of insurance, a reserved freight elevator, and after-hours loading windows. We issue COIs and coordinate building access as standard.

Office Movers in Montreal for After-Hours Relocations

Q: Do you move offices after hours and on weekends?

Yes. Running the changeover in your slowest window keeps the price close to a weekday move while removing the far larger cost of downtime, so your team returns to a set-up office.

Q: How do you protect IT and server equipment during an office move?

IT and server equipment are moved in a controlled run and reconnected first, so the core of the business is live before the furniture is placed. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with your IT team.

An office move that runs late costs you Monday morning: a team that cannot work, phones that ring to voicemail, clients who notice. That is the number every office manager is actually budgeting, and it is the one we plan around. AKA Moving is a Montreal-based commercial moving company operating from Dorval, and office relocations are the move we schedule so your business never feels them.

Office moves run through our commercial moving division, with crews trained on sensitive equipment, server rooms, and tight timelines.

What We Handle

Cubicles, desks, and conference furniture disassembled, moved, and reassembled at your new location
IT equipment and servers transported with protective packaging and labeling systems
File rooms and archives organized, packed, and delivered in order
After-hours and weekend moves so your team does not lose a workday
Warehousing and storage if your move-in date does not line up with your move-out

Can you move our office without downtime?

Yes. Most Montreal office moves happen after 6 PM or over a weekend: we load Friday evening, your team logs in Monday at the new address. Larger offices get a phased plan that moves department by department so part of your team stays operational the whole way through. We map the floor plan in advance and run a labeled zone system on move night, so every box, chair, and monitor lands in the right room without anyone directing traffic at 2 AM.

How do you move IT equipment and servers?

Workstations are photographed, cables are bagged and labeled per desk, and servers travel in protective packaging with a documented chain of custody from rack to rack. We coordinate with your IT team or provider on the disconnect and reconnect sequence, so the network comes up before the first employee sits down. Monitors and towers ride padded and upright, never stacked loose in a bin.

How much does an office move cost in Montreal?

Office moves are quoted as a fixed price after a free walkthrough, not by the hour. The quote is driven by workstation count, IT complexity, floors and elevator access at both ends, and distance. Once we quote it, the price holds even if the night runs long. For a detailed breakdown of what drives the number, see our office move cost guide.

What about building requirements?

Montreal office towers have rules, and we handle them before move day: certificate of insurance filed with your property manager, freight elevator reserved at both buildings, loading dock windows booked, floor and corridor protection installed. If your building requires after-hours access only, that is our normal schedule anyway. We handle the complexity so the only email your landlord sends you is the welcome one.

Planning your move

Start with our office relocation checklist to see the full timeline from 8 weeks out to move night. Relocating more than an office, like a full team transfer or a multi-department headquarters? That is corporate relocation, and we do that too.

How long does an office move take?

Most office moves in Greater Montreal happen over a single evening or weekend, so your team leaves a working office and returns to a working office. The real driver is not the number of desks but how much has to come back online and in what order. We sequence the move so the systems your business runs on are reconnected first, then work outward to furniture and storage, which is how a move that looks like a full shutdown on paper becomes a few hours of overnight work in practice.

Do you move offices after hours and on weekends?

Yes, and for most businesses it is the right call. The cost that never shows up on a moving invoice is the lost workday, the team that cannot log in, and the orders that do not ship while the office is in boxes. Running the changeover in your slowest window keeps the price close to a weekday move while removing the far larger cost of downtime. Your staff walk into a set-up office, not a construction site.

How do you protect IT and server equipment during an office move?

IT is the part of an office move that has to be handled like surgery, not like furniture. Workstations, network gear, and anything in a server room are moved in a controlled run and reconnected first, so the core of the business is live before a single desk is placed. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with your IT team or provider, label and protect every component, and plan the route so sensitive equipment is never the thing left to chance at the end of a long day.

Do you handle building access, freight elevators, and certificates of insurance?

Yes. Most Montreal office towers require a certificate of insurance on file, a reserved freight elevator, and a loading window outside business hours. We issue the certificates of insurance and book the building access as standard, so the move is not held up at the dock on the day. Tight downtown access is exactly the kind of detail that turns an hourly move into a budget surprise, which is why we price it into a fixed quote up front.

What does an office move with AKA Moving include?

An office move should be scoped so nothing lands as a surprise extra later. Depending on your needs, the job can include packing and unpacking, IT disconnect and reconnect, systems-furniture disassembly and reassembly, file and records moving, certificates of insurance for both buildings, and short-term storage when the new space is not ready on moving day. AKA Moving is a Montreal commercial moving and logistics company operating from a 30,000 square foot facility in Dorval, and we move offices across Greater Montreal on one fixed price built around your scope, so finance can plan against a real number.
