FAQ
Office Moving: Frequently Asked Questions
What is office moving?
The relocation of a company's physical space — desks, files, IT equipment — rather than a household. See our full overview.
What does an office relocation project manager do?
Plans and sequences a commercial move: site surveys, inventory, scheduling, vendor coordination, often using IOMI's labor-hour estimating method. See our project management guide.
How much does an office move cost?
Depends heavily on square footage, distance, and whether IT equipment or after-hours scheduling is involved. Full breakdown in our cost guide.
Why do office movers need a Certificate of Insurance?
Most commercial buildings require a COI (commonly $1-2 million general liability) before granting loading-dock or freight-elevator access. See our COI guide.
How do interstate office movers differ from residential ones?
Office moves are regulated as general freight, not household goods, so the FMCSA consumer-protection rules built for residential moves don't apply the same way. See our long-distance relocation guide.
How do I verify a commercial mover's credentials?
Check IOMI training/certification directly and verify FMCSA operating authority through the SAFER system rather than relying on a badge on a company's website. See our directory page.
