How an office move runs, step by step
- Assessment and plan. It starts with a consultation to understand your requirements. We assess the office size, the nature of the business and any specialised equipment or furniture needing special handling. Then we build a customised moving plan.
- Agree the packing. We settle what the crew packs and what staff pack.
- Labelling. Your team labels furniture and boxes by desk or department, matched to the new floor plan.
- Loading and securing. The crew wraps, dismantles and loads in the agreed move-day order.
- Transport. Your site contact meets the truck at the new office.
- Placement and reassembly. Furniture is rebuilt and placed where you want it.
Planning timeline
This is general planning advice, not a company promise.
- When the lease date is known: request a quote and tell both building managers.
- The week before: confirm lift, loading-area and parking access at both buildings.
- The day before: staff pack and label their desks, and your IT team disconnects equipment.
- Move day: keep one contact at each site.
- Before handover: allow time for any make-good or decommissioning your lease requires. You arrange that separately.
What affects the cost of an office move
Moving is charged by the hour, so the cost follows the time. The formula is hours at the hourly rate, plus the callout fee. These things change the hours:
- The number of workstations and rooms
- The volume of furniture, and how much needs dismantling
- How much staff pack before the crew arrives
- Access at both buildings: lift or stairs, loading area, and the carry from truck to door
- Oversized items, which may cost extra, so tell us in advance
An extra mover is $40 per hour if you want a faster job. How packing is charged is confirmed in your quote.
Six things that derail an office move, and how to avoid them
People arrive to stacked boxes and no desk. We agree a move plan at the assessment and place furniture where you want it. Your part: label everything by desk and send the floor plan ahead.
Equipment unplugged in a rush loses its cables. We move IT equipment wrapped in moving blankets, with bubble wrap for fragile items. Your part: have your IT team disconnect everything, then bag and label cables by desk.
Large pieces are often assembled inside the room they sit in. We dismantle the table, wrap it and reassemble it at the new office. Your part: measure doors and lifts at both buildings, and tell us in advance about oversized pieces.
Unchecked building rules leave the crew waiting for a lift. We note access at both buildings during the assessment. Your part: confirm lift bookings, loading-area times and truck parking with both building managers.
Late bookings push the move, handover and make-good into one week. We take bookings Monday to Saturday and recommend 2 to 3 weeks’ notice. Your part: move a few days before the lease ends, away from month-end where possible.
Unsealed, unlabelled boxes go astray. We move boxes sealed as you packed them and place them where the label says. Your part: have staff pack and seal confidential documents, and label the owner and destination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you move our office during the working week?
Yes, Auckland Kiwi Movers moves offices Monday to Saturday, between 7am and 7pm. Your move day and start time are confirmed in your quote, so ask early if you want a Saturday.
Who disconnects our computers and phones?
Your IT team does. They disconnect before the crew arrives and reconnect at the new office. We carry the equipment, wrapped and labelled as you left it.
How do we keep staff downtime short?
Set the order of the move before the day. Label by desk or department, have staff pack the day before, and send us the floor plan. The crew can then place furniture straight into position.
Do you move confidential documents?
Yes, in boxes your staff have packed and sealed. Label each box with its owner and destination, and we place it where the label says. Keep anything highly sensitive with a staff member.
What if the lift or loading area is limited at either building?
Tell us in advance. Access is noted at the assessment and affects truck size and hours. Confirm lift bookings and loading times with both building managers before move day.
Can we pack some things ourselves?
Yes. Many offices have staff pack their own desks and leave the furniture to the crew. What the crew packs is agreed before move day and confirmed in your quote.
What happens if the move runs past the booked time?
The crew keeps working and you pay for the time used. After the first hour, time is charged in 15-minute increments. Clear access and packed desks keep the total down.
