One Office Move, Documented

This is a real Montreal office relocation our crews ran, photographed as it happened. Not stock photos, not a brochure: the actual work, in order.

Weeks before

The walkthrough and the paperwork

We walked the space, counted every workstation, met the server room, and flagged what the buildings would demand: certificate of insurance filed with both property managers, freight elevators reserved at both ends. By move night there was nothing left to discover.

Friday, after close

Tops off the 400-pound tables

These conference tables run 400 pounds each, with built-in cable troughs. They do not fit through a door in one piece, so they do not travel in one piece: tops off, troughs opened, every fastener bagged and labeled to its table.

Screw by screw, into labeled bags. Reassembly is exact because disassembly was.

Friday evening

The room comes apart in order

The wide view of the same evening: trough covers off, tops separated, every piece staged in the order it loads. A room comes apart fast when every screw is in a bag with its table's name on it.

Mid-dismantle. This is what 400 pounds looks like in pieces.

Friday night

The heavy carry

Table sections move on dollies, two movers each, along a route we walked before lifting anything. Corners padded, floors protected, no shortcuts with 400 pounds in motion.

400 pounds each. Two movers, dollies, and a planned route.

The elevator window

Through the freight elevator we booked weeks earlier

Montreal towers give you a window, not a promise. Because both freight elevators were reserved in advance, the heavy pieces rolled straight through instead of waiting in a hallway on the clock.

The elevator window, used to the minute.

The weekend

Bases, tops and hardware travel separately

Here the crew moves a table base on its own. Tops, bases and hardware ride separately and meet again at the new office, where everything bolts back together. The same weekend, whiteboards and TVs came down at the old office and went back up at the new one, mounted by the same crew.

A table base on the move. Its top travels separately and meets it at the new office.

Monday, before 9

Everything back together

Every table bolted back together, every chair in its place, TVs on the walls, network up. The team walked in Monday morning and got to work. That is the whole point.

What Our Office Movers Handle in Montreal

An office relocation is four jobs running on one schedule. Your project manager runs all four.

Furniture and cubicles

Desks, cubicles and conference furniture disassembled, moved and reassembled to the new floor plan. A labeled zone system lands every box and chair in the right room without anyone directing traffic at 2 AM.

IT, servers and workstations

Workstations photographed, cables bagged and labeled per desk. Servers travel in protective packaging with a documented chain of custody, and the disconnect and reconnect sequence is coordinated with your IT team so the network is up before day one.

Files, archives and records

File rooms packed and delivered in order, confidential documents handled by NDA-ready crews, secure records transport for legal, medical and government offices.

Both buildings' rules

Certificate of insurance filed with both property managers, freight elevators reserved, dock windows booked, corridor protection installed. The only email your landlord sends you is the welcome one.

Office Types We Relocate in Montreal

Every office has one thing it cannot afford to lose in the move. We plan around yours.

Law and accounting firms

Client files move in sealed, numbered containers with a chain of custody, handled by NDA-ready crews. Active-matter files are last out and first in, so the practice never loses a working day on a deadline.

Tech companies and startups

Server racks, monitor arms, sit-stand desks and the espresso machine everyone actually cares about. We photograph every workstation so day one at the new office looks like day zero at the old one.

Clinics and professional practices

Medical and dental offices move between the last Friday appointment and the first Monday one, with sensitive equipment padded, upright and reconnected in coordination with your suppliers.

Government and institutions

Secure records transport, staff-badge coordination, and phased schedules that respect procurement and union requirements. We have moved public institutions without a single lost file.

Montreal Office Buildings: What We Handle Before Move Night

Half of a downtown office move happens before the truck arrives. A crew that moves Montreal towers every month plans for the things a form never asks about.

The paperwork the tower wants

Downtown property managers require a certificate of insurance naming the building, usually 5 to 10 business days before the move. We file it at both addresses so your move date never slips on an email you did not know you owed.

Freight elevators and dock windows

Most Ville-Marie towers book freight elevators in fixed evening windows, and some share one dock between three buildings. We reserve both ends early and build the load plan around the windows we actually got.

Older buildings, tighter math

Plateau and Mile-End loft offices trade freight elevators for staircases and street parking. We measure the stairwell, pad the turns, and arrange the truck permit so the only surprise is how quiet the move was.

Winter move nights

January moves get salted ramps, floor runners at both ends, and crews that have loaded through every Montreal winter since we started. Cold is a scheduling detail, not a risk.

Emptying the old office too? Our junk removal crew takes the furniture that is not making the trip, donates what deserves a second life, and recycles the rest, on the same booking as the move. Handover-clean means your deposit comes back.

How Much Does an Office Move Cost in Montreal?

Office relocations are quoted as one fixed price after a free walkthrough, not by the hour. Four things build the number: workstation count, IT complexity, access at both buildings, and distance. Once we quote it, the price holds even if the night runs long. That is the point of the walkthrough: we see the staircase, the elevator and the server room before we commit to a number, so you are never renegotiating at midnight with your furniture on a dolly. For typical ranges by office size, see the office move cost guide, and the office relocation checklist covers the eight weeks before move night.

Fixed price

Quoted in writing after the free walkthrough, holds even when the night runs long

No surcharge

Evenings, overnight and weekends are our normal office schedule

$1.20/lb

Double insurance per article, twice the industry minimum, written into the quote

30,000 sq ft

Dorval warehouse for staging and storage when the new fit-up is not ready

New office not ready? We stage it in Dorval.

When the fit-up runs late, your office loads once, waits in our 30,000 square foot Dorval warehouse under 24/7 surveillance, crated and inventoried, and delivers the day your keys work. No double move, no storage scramble, one written price.

Office Relocation Montreal: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office move cost in Montreal?

A fixed price quoted after a free walkthrough, built from workstation count, IT complexity, access at both buildings and distance. Quotes are before tax with no hidden fees, and the price holds once quoted. Typical ranges are in the office move cost guide.

Can you move our office without downtime?

Yes. Most Montreal office relocations load after 6 PM Friday and finish over the weekend, so the team logs in Monday at the new address. Larger offices get a phased department-by-department plan that keeps part of the team operational the whole way through.

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. The office relocation checklist covers the planning weeks.

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.

Do you take down and reinstall TVs and whiteboards?

Yes. On a recent Montreal office move our crews de-mounted every TV and whiteboard at the old office, moved them with the furniture, and remounted them at the new one, along with disassembling and rebuilding conference tables with built-in cable troughs. Wall equipment and furniture disassembly are part of the quote, not a separate trade you hire.

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.

What if the new office is not ready on our lease date?

We stage your office in our 30,000 square foot Dorval warehouse: loaded once, stored securely under 24/7 surveillance, delivered when the fit-up is done. Moving a whole team between cities? That is corporate relocation, and we do that too.

Office moves run through our commercial moving division alongside restaurants, labs, retail and industrial relocations.
