Indicative rates

Office Shifting Charges

Charges depend on the volume of goods, the distance and the floor access at both buildings. A local move for a 25 seat office runs Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000, and the same office moved to another city runs Rs 35,000 to Rs 65,000. The written quote fixes the total cost before the crew arrives, so compare quotes from three companies.

Office size	Local charges	Intercity charges
10 seats, 500 sq ft	Rs 8,000 to 18,000	Rs 20,000 to 40,000
25 seats, 1,500 sq ft	Rs 15,000 to 30,000	Rs 35,000 to 65,000
50 seats, 3,000 sq ft	Rs 25,000 to 45,000	Rs 55,000 to 90,000
100 seats, 5,000 sq ft	Rs 40,000 to 75,000	Rs 80,000 to 1,50,000

Cost factors

Factors That Change the Office Move Bill

Volume of goods counted at the survey: workstations, chairs, files, printers and heavy equipment.
Distance band between the old office and the new location.
Floor number, lift size and working hours at both buildings.
Packing materials needed for the job: bubble wrap, stretch film, crates, cartons and foam sheets.
Manpower for dismantling, loading and reassembly, plus insurance cover and storage days.
Lead time, since weekend dates and last-minute slots carry higher rates.

Hidden costs show up as dilapidation charges from the building, IT setup at the new office and moving insurance. Ask for these lines on the written quote so the price does not change after booking.

Six to twelve weeks out

Planning Timeline for an Office Move

Start planning as soon as the new lease is signed. An office move arranged inside one week is a daunting task, and a 6 to 12 week lead time keeps the process stress free.

6 to 12 weeks out: appoint a project team with representatives from IT, HR and Finance to own the plan.
10 weeks out: fix the budget, the moving date and the timeline, then compare quotes before anyone signs.
8 weeks out: inventory every asset and decide what to keep, discard or replace.
6 weeks out: inform employees early so they plan their commute, and update addresses on the website and client records.
4 weeks out: book the lift, parking and gate passes with building authorities at both buildings.
2 weeks out: confirm the labelling system, the packing plan and the IT disconnect schedule with your IT personnel.

Packing method

Packing for Servers, Workstations and Fragile Items

Servers, UPS units and other sensitive equipment go into specially designed container boxes with bubble wrap, foam sheets and fabric sheets, and fragile items get extra padding so nothing shifts inside the carton. Heavy equipment such as large printers and safes moves on trolleys. Plotters and large format printers are quoted after a separate survey.

Packing checklist:

Build the inventory list before packing starts so every item is tracked and protected.
Disconnect IT equipment with your IT personnel and pack cables, adapters and chargers in separate labelled bags.
Pad boxes with enough packing material to stop movement during transit.
Wrap furniture legs and glass panels in bubble wrap before loading.
Seal confidential documents in cartons that stay with your own team.

Move day

Move Day Checklist

Crew arrives and checks in. Loading starts with the labelled crates while a floor representative from each team checks items against the inventory.
IT equipment loads last. Servers, UPS units and network gear go on the vehicle in the order your IT team sets for reconnection.
Vehicles leave under supervision. Office items are transported safely on owned vehicles with transit insurance and real time tracking.
Crates go room by room. Workstations are rebuilt, furniture is placed, and the inventory sheet is signed at both ends.
Systems are reconnected. Workstations, internet connections and security systems are tested before the general staff arrives on day one.
Walk the floor. A final walkthrough with each floor representative confirms that every asset is accounted for and functional.

Weekend slots

Weekend and Night Office Shifting

Most office shifting runs on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday so business operations restart on Monday without losing working days. When a floor cannot close for a full day we move it in phases, one department at a time, with the IT team moving and testing servers first. Weekend slots have limited crews, so hold the date with two to four weeks of lead time. The plan minimises disruption to other businesses on the same floor.

Good to know

Office Shifting Services: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything customers usually ask before booking.

What are the rules for shifting of registered office?

File the change with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of the move, using a board resolution and the new address proof, and update GST and bank records separately. The physical move follows the building rules for lift, gate and working hours.

What is the meaning of office relocation?

Office relocation means moving a company's workstations, furniture, equipment and records from one office to another, inside the same city or to a different city. It covers packing, transport, unloading and setting up so work restarts on schedule.

How do I ask to move offices?

Send a written request to your manager or facilities team with the reason for the move, the new office location and your preferred date. Attach a budget and a timeline so the project team can approve it.

How much does it cost to move an office?

A local office move runs Rs 15,000 to Rs 45,000 for a 25 to 50 seat office, and an intercity move runs Rs 35,000 to Rs 90,000 by route, while a 10 seat setup starts near Rs 8,000 locally. Call +91 98770 99804 for a free survey and a written quote.

How long does an office move take?

A local office move usually finishes inside one weekend, and an intercity move takes four to seven days including two to six days in transit. Larger floors are moved in phases over two weekends.

Do you pack IT equipment and servers?

Yes. Servers, UPS units and workstations are disconnected with your IT personnel, backed up, then packed in container boxes with bubble wrap and foam, with cables in separate labelled bags. The crew reconnects and tests the machines before staff arrive.

Can the office shift run on a weekend or at night?

Yes, and most jobs are booked for Friday night, Saturday or Sunday so business operations restart on Monday. Weekend and night slots are limited, so hold the date two to four weeks ahead.

Is transit insurance included in the quote?

Transit insurance is quoted on the declared value of the shipment and is recommended on intercity moves. The cover is written into the quote before booking.

What should be on the office shifting checklist?

The checklist covers the inventory list, the labelling system, the IT disconnect plan, building permissions, employee notice, address updates for clients and the workstation test on day one. Review it weekly with the project team.
