Office moving in Reno, Sparks and Carson City

An office move is a schedule problem as much as a lifting problem. Desks must be disconnected and reconnected, files must stay in order, phones and computers must work Monday morning, and the lease on the old suite is running out. O'Brien's commercial crews move offices of many sizes around Reno, Sparks and Carson City and plan the work so downtime stays short.

What an office move includes

An office move can cover workstations and desks, filing cabinets, conference tables, break-room furniture, boxed supplies and files, and computer equipment. The crew labels each piece by destination, so a desk lands in the right room of the new suite and the same goes for every box.

Packing is part of the plan. Staff pack their own desk contents into numbered cartons, or the crew packs for them, and the estimate says which. See packing services for the options.

• Workstations, desks and cabinets
• Conference and break-room furniture
• Files and boxed supplies
• Computer equipment and phones, moved with your IT contact
• Placement by floor plan

On-site move management

On larger jobs, a move manager is on site to direct the crew, answer questions and keep the sequence on schedule. The manager works from your floor plan and your list of departments, and is the person your office manager talks to during the move.

After hours, weekends and holidays

Offices often cannot close for a day. Commercial crews work evenings, weekends and holidays by arrangement, so you can pack up Friday afternoon and open Monday in the new space. Schedules are set when the estimate is agreed. For details see after-hours and weekend commercial moves.

Planning timeline

1. Call the office or request a commercial estimate and describe the space.
2. An estimator walks both locations or reviews the floor plans.
3. You receive an itemized written estimate.
4. Staff label and pack desks, and the IT contact schedules the equipment.
5. The crew moves and sets up each department, and the move manager confirms placement.

Checklists and help

The office relocation checklist and the guide to moving office IT and equipment help you plan the months ahead. Any mover you hire should have a USDOT number on file with FMCSA, and O'Brien's operates under USDOT No. 30611; the licenses and authority page lists the details. Storage between leases is on the commercial storage page.
