Moving Support from DZ Cargo
Our IBA-approved moving services bring 11+ years of relocation experience to your plans. Work with our team to organise the support you need, review the quotation and keep responsibilities clear before moving day.
An Office Move Starts with a Clear Inventory
A working office contains more than desks and chairs. Computers need to reach the right teams, files need to stay organised, and staff need to know what to pack themselves. DZ Cargo handles office shifting enquiries around these practical requirements, so you can discuss the work involved before choosing a moving arrangement.
Start with an inventory by department: workstations, cabinets, meeting-room furniture, equipment and packed files. Share the pickup and destination addresses, building rules and your preferred date. Flag heavy, fragile or unusually sized items early so their handling can be discussed.
Decide What Help Your Office Needs
- Furniture and workstations: Identify desks, partitions and cabinets that may need dismantling. Confirm reassembly requirements and whether building contractors or furniture suppliers need to be involved.
- Computers and equipment: List monitors, printers and other devices separately. Keep cables and accessories labelled against their equipment. Your IT team should manage backups and technical shutdown.
- Files and shared supplies: Label cartons by department and destination room. Keep restricted documents under the control of your authorised staff.
- Delivery and placement: Prepare a floor plan and nominate someone who can direct the team. Agree any unpacking and placement support before moving day.

Discuss Your Requirements
Prepare Both Buildings Before Moving Day
Check lift booking, loading-bay access, vehicle parking and permitted moving hours with both building managers. Share stairs, narrow passages or any limits on goods-lift use. These details affect how the move can be organised.
At the new office, mark departments and furniture positions before delivery. Keep access routes clear and confirm that an authorised contact will be available to receive the items. A simple box and workstation register makes handover easier to check.
Keep the Moving Scope Separate from IT Setup
Physical relocation and making an office operational are different jobs. Plan internet activation, network connections, equipment installation and testing with the relevant providers. Tell us about items that must remain in use until a particular time, or that need to arrive first.
If you need a phased move, describe the sequence and the teams affected. The proposed plan should account for available access, transport and delivery arrangements; avoid treating a preferred reopening date as a guaranteed completion time.
What Affects Office Shifting Charges?
The volume and type of assets, travel distance, packing requirements and access at both buildings all affect the work involved. Dismantling, additional handling, storage or a staged move can also change the scope.
Ask for a written breakdown of the agreed services and charges. Check who is responsible for packing, loading, transport, unloading and reassembly, and clarify any exclusions before booking. If your new premises will not be ready, discuss storage requirements separately.
Office Moving Questions
Share both addresses, floors, lift and loading access, the number of workstations, a furniture and equipment list, and your preferred date. Mention dismantling, packing or placement requirements. The quotation should identify the included work and any separately priced services.
Tell us the hours you need to work around and which departments must remain operational. Evening, weekend or staged arrangements depend on availability and building permissions. Agree the schedule before booking; a preferred date is not a confirmed slot.
Arrange backups, shutdown, disconnection and testing with your IT team or equipment provider. Packing and transporting equipment are separate from technical installation. Discuss any additional help before the moving scope is agreed.
Separate restricted files from general office contents. Your authorised staff should decide who packs, carries and receives them. Use a clear box register and destination labels without displaying confidential information on the outside.
Timing depends on inventory, distance, packing work, lift access, loading permissions and the readiness of the destination. Ask for a proposed pickup and delivery schedule after the team has reviewed these details. Keep time for your own IT testing and workspace setup.
Share Your Office Moving Requirements
Keep the inventory, both addresses, access details and preferred date ready. Include a contact person at each office and explain any working hours or equipment priorities the plan needs to accommodate.
