What's included
What our commercial movers in Calgary move
Part of the move
Office furniture:
desks, chairs, tables, shelving and filing cabinets, wrapped in moving blankets and shrink wrap.
Files and supplies:
boxed records, stock and supplies.
Computers and IT equipment:
computers, monitors and printers, packed and moved with the rest of the office once your IT team has unplugged them. Servers, racks and crated equipment have their own page: IT equipment movers.
Shop and workshop equipment:
machinery and equipment that sits on skids. Tell us its weight and size when we follow up, so we bring the right crew and equipment.
Furniture that has to come apart:
desks and tables that won't fit through a door are taken apart and put back together at the new space, as part of the move's time.
What we don't do:
we don't take apart or install cubicle and panel systems. If your office has them, your furniture installer handles that part and we move everything else.
After hours
Office moves after hours
As office movers, we usually run office moves after hours, so your team can finish the working day and start the next one in the new space. Evening and weekend moves cost the same as weekday moves, so moving outside business hours doesn't raise the rate.
If your building limits when moves can happen or asks you to book the elevator or loading dock, tell us when we follow up. We'll plan the crew and the hours around the building's rules.
Hourly rates
How our commercial movers in Calgary price the job
Business moves are billed by the hour, on the same terms as every move we do:
Same rate as every move
$150 an hour for two movers and a 26-foot truck
a 3-hour minimum
- a 1-hour truck and travel charge inside Calgary
- $50 an hour for each extra mover or truck, and more trucks when the job calls for it
- plus GST
How we size the job
We go over the move with you by phone, text or email, whichever you prefer. When your space in Calgary needs a look, we walk through it with you for free. That's how we size the crew and the trucks for your move. After a visit, your quote usually follows within 24 hours. Our moving rates, with the conditions that go with them, are on our page of Calgary movers' rates.
When we follow up, tell us:
- How many desks, chairs and filing cabinets are moving
- The weight and size of any equipment on skids
- Your building's rules for elevators, loading docks and move times
- Any desks or tables that won't fit through a door
- Whether you'd like the office packed as well
Protection included
Desks, chairs and filing cabinets are wrapped in moving blankets and shrink wrap, and floor runners go down in both spaces. The materials are included at no charge.
Additional services
Ask for any of these on our quote form or when we follow up.
What changes the final cost
The final cost is set by the time the job takes. These are what usually add to it:
Building access.
Elevator and loading-dock bookings, restricted parking and a long carry between the truck and your door all add time.
Stairs.
Carrying up and down stairs takes longer. Tell us about every flight when we follow up.
Furniture that comes apart.
Desks and tables that won't fit through a door are taken apart and put back together, and that time is part of the move.
Equipment on skids.
Heavy machinery on skids can need a bigger crew. Tell us its weight and size when we follow up.
Distance.
Towns around Calgary are charged the round-trip drive from our Calgary base, and long-distance moves add the drive both ways and a fuel surcharge.
Volume and packing.
How much is moving, and how easy both spaces are to work in, move the hours more than anything else. Packing time goes into your quote when you ask for it, and plastic bins are charged separately.
A reply the way you prefer
Send us the basics through our quote form, and a member of our team follows up by phone, text or email, whichever you prefer.
For your building
Insurance and paperwork for your building
Property managers usually want proof of insurance before movers come in. We're fully insured and bonded, with $5 million in general liability coverage, and our crew is covered by WCB. We can provide a certificate of insurance naming your building, and a current WCB clearance letter.
If something is damaged, we own our mistakes. Our liability is $1.00 per pound per item, a valuation rather than replacement-value insurance, and more protection can be agreed in writing before the move. Damage is reported in writing within 7 days, with photos and proof of value.
Recent work
Recent business moves
Store fixtures at Chinook Centre.
We moved a store's fixtures to another store in the same mall, working after 9 p.m. over one week. We packed and protected everything over the first three nights, then moved it over the last two, a marble countertop included.
A trophy shop in one day.
In August 2026, we moved a trophy shop's boards, shelving and trophy-making machinery, consolidating items onto pallets where needed. Eight crew members finished the move in one day.
How it works
Planning the move with you
- Tell us the basics through our quote form: the old and new addresses, the date, and what's moving.
- We follow up by phone, text or email, whichever you prefer, and book a free walkthrough when your space in Calgary needs one.
- We agree the order. What moves first, what has to be in place first thing the next morning, and which rooms each piece goes to.
- You label. A room or desk label on every box and piece makes unloading fast.
- Moving day. Our crew moves everything in the order we agreed, and speaks English and Spanish.

Before you book
Frequently asked questions
The office move
Cubicles, after-hours moves and equipment.
Do you take apart and install cubicles?
No. Cubicle and panel systems need an installer, so your furniture installer takes them down and puts them up, and we move everything else.
Can you move our office after hours?
Yes. Office moves usually run after hours, and evening and weekend moves cost the same as weekday moves.
Can you move equipment on skids?
Yes. Shop machinery and equipment that sits on skids is part of the work we do.
Insurance and price
Certificates of insurance, and what it costs.
Can you send our building a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We carry $5 million in general liability insurance and can provide a certificate naming your building before moving day.
How much does an office move cost?
It depends on how much is moving and how long it takes. We bill by the hour and size the crew and the time with you when we follow up. When your space in Calgary needs a walkthrough, it's free, and it comes before your quote.
