Commercial & Office Moving
Office moves, without the downtime.
After-hours and weekend office relocations across the Bay Area. Your team walks in Monday morning and everything is where it's supposed to be. Licensed, insured, COI in 24 hours.
What We Do
Commercial moving services built for Bay Area business.
Commercial moving services cover the packing, transport, and placement of business assets — office furniture, workstations, server racks, filing systems, break-room equipment, and warehouse stock. A commercial moving company differs from a residential mover in scope, coordination, and compliance.
Project managers oversee move logistics, loading-dock access is coordinated in advance, and a Certificate of Insurance (COI) is furnished to building management before the first truck arrives. B2's commercial moving team handles everything from small offices with five workstations to multi-department corporate relocation projects across multiple buildings.
Whether you are expanding into a larger space, consolidating multiple offices, or simply upgrading your location, B2 has the professional expertise to get your business moved efficiently and on schedule — without disrupting your employees or your customers.
The Process
How office moving services work, step by step.
Consultation & planning
A move coordinator calls within two business hours. We gather: employee headcount, floor count, IT rack inventory, furniture list, and target move date. Detailed planning begins immediately — we build a move plan with a room-by-room asset list and a desk-to-floor-plan mapping so every piece lands in the right spot at the new location.
Your project manager addresses concerns about timeline, building access, IT continuity, and scheduling preferences. Clear communication from day one is how we keep every commercial relocation on track and on budget.
Site walkthrough & asset management
A B2 supervisor walks both buildings: origin and destination. We log access points, elevator reservation windows, loading-dock availability, and parking restrictions. This site audit feeds directly into our asset management database — every item is tagged by department before packing begins. For larger moves, we assign a dedicated on-site operations manager.
Packing & labeling by department
Our crew crates by department, not by floor. Office furniture is disassembled and blanket-wrapped; monitors and electronics are packed with extra protection using anti-static materials. Filing cabinets are sealed and banded; confidential documents travel in locked containers. Every box is labeled with destination room, department, and priority level — no guessing at new space setup.
Loading-dock permits & logistics
B2 handles all building logistics: COI submission to property management (in 24 hours on request), elevator reservations, loading-dock time-slot booking, and parking permits for large trucks. Commercial relocations in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose often require city or building permits for oversized vehicles — we manage all of this so you don't have to.
Move execution
Crews arrive on schedule. A dedicated foreman coordinates with your point-of-contact throughout the day. We use floor runners, door-frame protection, and corner guards — no damage to the building surfaces at either end. Office moving is physically demanding and detail-intensive; our experienced team trains specifically for commercial environments, ensuring your employees walk into a properly arranged workspace on day one.
Post move support & placement
Every desk, workstation, and piece of office furniture is placed to match the floor-plan diagram agreed in step one. We hand IT a labeled rack list at the destination. Post move support is available for 48 hours: if a monitor stand arrived without its screws or a bookshelf needs repositioning, call us and we'll send someone back. Furniture placement, furniture disassembly, and disassembly and reassembly are all included in the commercial move rate.
Minimize Downtime
After-hours & weekend office relocations.
The biggest cost in any office relocation isn't the mover's invoice — it's the revenue your team loses while equipment is in transit. B2 schedules commercial moving around your business calendar, not ours.
Your employees deserve a smooth transition. A well-executed business move protects not just your productivity but also your team's well being — removing the stress of a chaotic move day from their shoulders entirely.
After-hours moves
Crews arrive after 6 PM and clear out before 8 AM, so normal business hours are never affected. Zero disruption to your business operations during the working day.
Weekend office moves
Full Friday-evening-to-Monday-morning execution. Your team walks into a fully operational office on Monday with every desk, monitor, and chair in place per your floor plan.
Phased relocations
Relocate one department per week if the destination build-out isn't complete. Parallel packing and loading let business operations continue in parts of the office while others are being moved.
Clear communication throughout
Your project manager sends status updates at each stage — no surprises. If a timeline shifts, you know within the hour. We address concerns immediately so your schedule stays on track.
IT & Equipment
Sensitive equipment relocated without a configuration lost.
Servers, switches, medical devices, and lab instruments require specialized handling that general commercial movers aren't equipped for. B2's experienced team coordinates directly with your IT lead from inventory to rack installation.
Labeled rack list
Every device is photographed, labeled, and inventoried before it leaves the server room. Your IT team receives the rack list at the destination before end-of-shift on move day.
Anti-static packing
Hard drives and network equipment travel in anti-static foam — no standard cardboard. Temperature-sensitive electronics move in climate-controlled trucks.
IT coordination
B2's foreman and your IT lead walk the destination together before any rack is moved. For corporate relocation projects, a dedicated IT move coordinator communicates with your technical team throughout.
Credentials & Compliance
Licensed, insured & COI in 24 hours.
Most commercial buildings in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the property management company as an additional insured before any commercial move can proceed. B2 provides COI within 24 hours of request.
- CA Permit 581337 — CAL-T permit issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Required for all intrastate commercial movers operating in California. Verify at cpuc.ca.gov
- MTR 0192394 — California Moving & Relocation registration number. Verify at bhgs.dca.ca.gov

What Bay Area buildings require
A COI names the building owner or manager as an additional insured on the mover's liability policy — protecting the building if a mover damages an elevator, lobby, or loading dock. B2 provides COI to property management within 24 hours of move date confirmation.
We also handle: elevator reservation paperwork, loading-dock time-slot applications, oversized vehicle parking permits for San Francisco and Oakland, and building manager notifications.
For commercial moving companies operating in California, licensing is non-negotiable. Verify any mover at bhgs.dca.ca.gov before signing a contract.
Pricing
How much does a commercial move cost?
Commercial moving services in the Bay Area are priced by the hour for local moves, and by weight for long-distance business relocation. Every B2 estimate is written and binding — your final price is capped before we lift a single workstation.
| Move scope | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Small office (1–10 workstations, local) | $800 – $2,500 |
| Mid-size office (10–30 workstations, local) | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Large office / multi-floor (30–100+ workstations) | $8,000 – $30,000+ |
| IT equipment / server room only (local) | $1,200 – $4,000 |
| After-hours / weekend schedule premium | +15% – 20% |
| Climate-controlled storage (warehouse) | Call for quote |
What drives commercial move cost?
Number of employees and workstations is the largest variable, followed by floors, elevator access windows, and distance between buildings. IT and sensitive equipment volume, disassembly and reassembly of systems furniture (cubicles, benching), and office layout complexity at the destination all affect the final number. After-hours and weekend scheduling carries a 15–20% premium. Moving services costs vary based on specific needs; a detailed walkthrough is the only reliable way to get an accurate number.
Written estimates — no surprises
Every B2 commercial estimate is written and binding before we arrive. No additional charges are added at delivery without your written approval. For local Bay Area moves, we bill by the hour; for long-distance corporate relocation, weight-based pricing applies. Request a free estimate by phone — (669) 999-5505 — or via the contact form.

FAQ
Common questions about commercial moving services in the Bay Area.
How much does it cost to move a business or relocate an office in the Bay Area?
Most Bay Area office relocation projects for 10–30 workstations cost between $3,000 and $12,000 for a local move. Small offices (under 10 workstations) typically run $800–$2,500. Large multi-floor commercial relocations can exceed $30,000 depending on volume, floors, and IT complexity. Cost is driven primarily by crew size, hours, floors, and whether disassembly and reassembly of systems furniture is required. B2 provides a written binding estimate — your final bill is capped before the truck arrives. Moving services costs vary based on specific needs; a detailed walk-through is the most reliable way to get an accurate number.
How do I plan an office move to minimize downtime?
Start planning 6–8 weeks before the move date. Key steps: build a department-by-department asset list, map desks to the new floor plan, coordinate building access at both ends (loading docks, elevator reservations, parking), notify employees 4–6 weeks in advance, and schedule with a commercial moving company that offers after-hours or weekend execution. B2's project managers walk you through a move timeline in a free consultation call. Detailed planning is the only reliable way to achieve minimal disruption to your business operations during the transition.
Can you do the office move after hours or on weekends?
Yes. B2 specializes in after-hours and weekend office moving so your team never loses a working day. A Friday-evening move has your new space operational by Monday morning. Crews arrive after 6 PM and clear the building before normal business hours resume. After-hours and weekend scheduling carries a 15–20% premium, which is typically far less than the productivity cost of a mid-week disruption to your business operations.
What is a COI and why does my building require it?
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document your building's property management requires before allowing any commercial movers onto the property. It names the building owner or manager as an additional insured on the mover's liability policy — protecting the building if a mover damages an elevator, lobby, or loading dock. B2 provides COI to building management within 24 hours of your move date confirmation. Our coverage: $2M general liability, cargo insurance covering business assets in transit, and workers' compensation for all crew members. All movers are W-2 employees — no subcontractors.
How do you handle IT equipment and server rooms?
B2's IT relocation process: photograph and inventory every device, label each item with rack position, pack using anti-static materials, transport in climate-controlled trucks, and deliver with a complete rack list for your IT team. We coordinate directly with your IT lead on both move day and setup at the destination. No device leaves the server room without confirmation from your IT team. For corporate relocation projects, a dedicated IT move coordinator communicates with your technical team throughout — zero lost configurations, zero misrouted cables.
What's included in commercial moving services from B2?
B2's commercial moving services include: on-site consultation and floor-plan mapping, asset management tagging by department, professional packing with extra protection for sensitive equipment, furniture disassembly and reassembly at the destination, furniture placement per your office layout, COI provision within 24 hours, loading-dock and elevator coordination, after-hours and weekend availability, IT rack list delivery, and 48-hour post move support. Climate-controlled storage solutions in our Santa Clara warehouse are available as an add-on between leases.
How far in advance should I book a commercial move?
For moves under 20 workstations: 2–4 weeks is usually sufficient. For larger moves or commercial relocations requiring after-hours scheduling: 4–8 weeks. June–September is peak moving season in the Bay Area — book 2–3 months ahead if your move falls in summer. Early planning gives B2's project managers time to coordinate all building logistics, secure loading-dock reservations, and produce a detailed move plan covering every department's schedule and specific needs.
Are your commercial movers licensed and insured in California?
Yes. B2 Moving Company holds CA Permit 581337 (CAL-T permit issued by the California Public Utilities Commission), MTR 0192394 (California Moving & Relocation registration), and USDOT/MC authority for interstate moves. All movers are W-2 employees — no subcontractors, ever. General liability, cargo insurance, and workers' compensation are all active. Verify at bhgs.dca.ca.gov or safer.fmcsa.dot.gov before signing any contract.
What is a corporate relocation?
Corporate relocation refers to moving an entire company or a major business unit from one location to another — typically involving multiple departments, significant IT infrastructure, and coordination with property management at both ends. It differs from a simple office relocation in scale: project managers coordinate logistics across weeks or months, asset management systems track every item, and the move may be phased to keep business operations running throughout. B2 handles corporate relocation projects for Bay Area companies of all sizes — from small offices to enterprise headquarters — efficiently and with full professional expertise.
What are red flags when hiring commercial movers?
Watch for: no CA Permit number or USDOT number, no written estimate, cash-only deposits before the move, brokers who re-sell your job to an unlicensed carrier, no COI provision, and charges added at delivery that weren't in the estimate. Commercial moving companies should have verifiable licensing, a physical address, W-2 employees (not day-labor subcontractors), and a dedicated project manager for your move — not just a dispatcher. Our experienced team at B2 is transparent about cost, licensing, and process — no surprises at delivery. Always verify at bhgs.dca.ca.gov before signing.
