Written move plan
Sequence, crew size, truck count, and on-site hours documented and approved before move day.
Corporate moves with floor-plan labeling, workstation rebuild, and IT handling, scheduled outside your business hours.
Office moving
Every desk, monitor, and file box is tagged to a destination location before it leaves the building.
An office move is a project, not a truck booking. We build a written plan covering sequence, crew size, hours on site, and the exact order in which departments relocate so your leadership can approve it before anything is packed.
Floor-plan labeling is what makes the difference on the far end. Each item carries a tag that maps to a numbered location on the destination plan, so crews place workstations rather than stacking boxes in a corridor.
What is included
Sequence, crew size, truck count, and on-site hours documented and approved before move day.
Numbered destination locations mapped to colour-coded tags on every item.
Desks, cubicles, and modular systems disassembled at origin and rebuilt at destination.
Monitors, docks, conference room AV, and network gear packed in purpose-built crates.
After-hours and weekend crews so your team returns to a working office.
Cartons, crates, and packing material collected after the rebuild is complete.
How it works
Six stages with named deliverables at each one.
We walk both sites, document dock and elevator access, and collect the destination floor plan.
You receive a written move plan with sequence, crew, hours, and cost. Nothing starts until it is signed.
Crates and tags are delivered in advance. Staff clear personal items; we label everything shared.
IT gear is powered down and packed; workstations are broken down and tagged.
Items are loaded, transported, and placed at their mapped destination locations.
Furniture is rebuilt, debris removed, and a joint walkthrough closes the project.
Pricing
Office moves are quoted per project after a site survey. Workstation count, IT volume, building access, and the schedule you need drive the number far more than square footage does.
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest move. A crew that finishes late costs you a Monday, which is almost always more expensive than the labour difference.
Before move day
The difference between a smooth move and an expensive one is usually settled weeks before the truck arrives. Get the paperwork right, be honest about access, and confirm what is actually included in the price you were quoted.
Ask any mover for their USDOT number and verify it. A legitimate interstate carrier is registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and you can look up their licensing and insurance status in a few minutes. Be cautious with any company that will not give you a written estimate, demands a large cash deposit up front, or refuses to survey your inventory before quoting a price.
Be specific about access at both ends. Stairs, elevator reservations, long carries from the truck to the door, low-clearance garages, and narrow streets all change the crew size and the hours required. An access detail you leave out is the single most common reason a job runs past its estimate.
Licensing and protection
Any company moving household goods across a state line is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and must hold an active USDOT number and operating authority. LD Movers holds both, carries cargo and liability coverage, and provides certificates of insurance for buildings that require one before move day.
Valuation is not the same thing as insurance, and the difference surprises people at claim time. Every interstate shipment includes released value protection at no charge, which pays 60 cents per pound per article. On a 40-pound flat-screen television that comes to $24 regardless of what you paid for it.
Full value protection is the alternative. Under it, the carrier is liable for the replacement value of a lost or damaged item, and repairs, replaces, or pays out accordingly. It costs more and usually carries a deductible option, and on a full household shipment it is almost always the right call. Your coordinator walks through both options before you sign anything.
Note any damage on the inventory sheet at delivery before the driver leaves - that document is the basis of a claim. You have nine months from delivery to file, and carriers must acknowledge a claim within 30 days and resolve it within 120. We would rather fix a problem than argue about one, and our claims contact is the same coordinator you have worked with from the start.
Choosing a mover
Searching for movers near me returns a mix of licensed carriers, brokers who resell your job, and outright scams. A few checks separate them quickly.
LD Movers is licensed and insured for interstate household moves, holds a 4.9-star average across 212 verified reviews, and quotes from a real inventory every time. You will speak to the same coordinator from estimate through delivery.
