Boston commercial moves require specialized equipment, project management, IT infrastructure handling, and minimal business disruption unlike standard residential relocations.
What Equipment Differences Exist?
Commercial moves need pallet jacks, server lifts, and modular furniture tools. BMS Commercial Services uses specialized equipment for office systems.
Residential movers use dollies and hand trucks. Commercial relocations require equipment for cubicle systems, conference tables, and industrial shelving.
How Does Timeline Management Differ?
Businesses need weekend and overnight execution. BMS Commercial Services schedules moves around Boston business operations.
Residential moves happen during regular hours. Commercial relocations work around lease deadlines, quarterly closings, and employee schedules.
What Makes IT Relocation Unique?
Commercial moves include server rooms and network infrastructure. BMS Commercial Services handles data center relocations with chain-of-custody protocols.
Residential moves involve personal computers. Businesses need structured cabling, server racks, and telecommunications systems moved intact.
Why Do Businesses Need Staging Services?
Phased relocations require warehousing. BMS Commercial Services provides temporary storage for Boston office transitions.
Companies move departments separately. Furniture gets stored during renovations. Equipment needs secure holding between locations.
How Does Liability Coverage Differ?
Commercial moves need higher insurance limits. BMS Commercial Services carries coverage for expensive equipment and business interruption.
Office equipment values exceed household goods. Businesses require coverage for specialized machinery, confidential documents, and custom installations.
What Compliance Requirements Apply?
Boston businesses follow building codes and union requirements. BMS Commercial Services meets commercial building regulations.
Freight elevator reservations, loading dock permits, and certificate of insurance requirements apply to commercial buildings. Residential moves have fewer restrictions.
Why Is Decommissioning Important?
Businesses must properly dispose of furniture and electronics. BMS Commercial Services provides certified recycling and donation documentation.
Companies need asset disposal records. Environmental regulations govern electronic waste. Tax documentation supports furniture donations.
How Does Project Coordination Differ?
Commercial moves involve multiple stakeholders. BMS Commercial Services coordinates with facility managers, IT teams, and department heads.
Residential moves involve one household. Business relocations require vendor coordination, employee communication, and change management support.
