The most expensive part of the move is always the movers, a lot of companies often hire the cheapest movers they can get. That's a big mistake, since they are responsible for your equipment.


If you do not have a preferred move team, Move MGMT can recommend the top 3 that are recommended for your project. Not every mover has all the resources or equipment to facilitate your specific office move. If the moving company is not specifically an office mover, they are likely doing household moves for the majority of their services and supplementing their office moves when residential moving is less in demand (fall to spring). They also will have their hourly rates on a sliding scale depending on what month it is and then again on what day of the month, this is typical for all residential movers across the country - but not for an office mover.


This is where Move MGMT can provide the intel on who to use and why to use them. We recommend always to receive 3 quotes from moving companies. Remember they will only put together a quote based on the information you provide, this is where moving companies get a bad reputation for adding extra costs at the end of the move but they are the ones on a budget to provide a service as economical as possible for you. If you have; a room not packed, IT is not disconnected, or hoping you can point to every piece to identify placement, these are usually the key elements why a move budget will go over the estimate.


Move MGMT can assist you with being as prepared as possible before the mover arrives, we know what they need done and why it needs to be planned before the move starts. We can also manage your pricing by organizing the RFP and send it to leading companies in the moving industry or we can review your already received quotes to negotiate competitive pricing. Expect to pay less to move contents and computers only (content move) and up to triple per employee to relocate contents, computers, workstations, meeting rooms, offices, lateral files and storage cabinets (furniture and content relocation).


Clients can rely on the mover to be a one-stop-shop by using all of a movers services because of convenience or provide this information to us to navigate through the pricing and dissect it to save you money. We can plan with each supplier on your behalf to save hundreds of dollars on markups unknown to you are being added on by the mover to your move budget. That is what Move MGMT can bring you, not just project planning but budget planning and the experience in knowing the mover is up charging from those 3rd party services by a percentage. When you hire Move MGMT, we can review the proposals to provide you with line-by-line analysis of their estimate to decipher what is being marked up and what is at cost. Allowing a professional to review the quotes from the movers will give you insight to whether the pricing is realistic or inflated. Hiring us to handle the mover will pass the torch to us for planning and overseeing the budget, also allows clients to focus back on the function of their business.
