Frequently Asked Questions
Relocating your commercial premises can create several questions. By knowing the answers to the most commonly asked questions, you can begin to take the first steps toward a successful relocation.
How Do I Get Started?
When you’re looking for commercial moving services, the first step is always to contact a professional like BMS Commercial Services. Once you’ve contacted us, we’ll arrange a free consultation with one of our experienced project managers to discuss your current facility, assets, timeline, and any other specific project needs.
If you’re unsure how far in advance you should book office movers, we typically recommend booking at least three months before your move to allow time for planning and ensure availability during your project time frame.
Once we have all this information, we’ll create a custom relocation strategy and provide a no-obligation estimate.
How Do You Price Your Commercial Relocation Services?
We take pride in delivering a cost-effective service, which is why we base your costs on your unique project scope. To do this, we evaluate:
- Volume of items
- Distance
- Building access
- Time frame
- Any specialized services required
Before you make any decisions, we’ll provide you with a free cost estimate for your commercial move, with a clear breakdown of expected costs.
Can You Work After Hours or on Weekends?
We know that relocating your office can disrupt your operations, which is why we offer to conduct our services outside of your office hours. By relocating your office at a time that suits you, we help you minimize downtime and support a smoother transition into your new workspace.
During your initial consultation, we’ll provide an estimate of how long the relocation will take, so you can decide when the best time to relocate will be for your business.
What Happens if Office Movers Damage My Equipment?
Our professional team is experienced in handling all types of commercial assets and takes every reasonable precaution to protect your assets. However, we also recognize that unexpected incidents can happen during an office relocation.
As a fully licensed and insured provider, we offer comprehensive liability coverage designed to help protect your assets during the move.
Are Commercial Movers Liable for Damages?
A commercial mover’s liability for damages depends on the terms of your agreement, the type of coverage in place, and the circumstances of the damage. That’s why it’s important to review your agreement carefully and ask your mover to explain any coverage limits, exclusions, or claim requirements before moving day.
How Long Does a Typical Office Move Take?
We approach every project with its unique scope and goals in mind, which is why we don’t provide a blanket time frame for relocations. The key factors that will affect your project’s timeline are its size and complexity. We can move an office overnight if the move is simple and small, while longer projects can take several days.
Your project manager will provide a detailed project timeline after you’ve provided key details about the move.
