Office move cost estimator
Pick the size tier closest to your office, tick which of the real cost drivers apply, and see the published range for your move plus what to raise with a mover.
Range sourced from Move Solutions (see citation below). Driver checklist matches our office move cost guide. This is a planning range, not a quote.
$5,000 – $15,000
Published range for a medium office, up to 5,000 sq ft.
What this estimate does not include
This tool covers the office-move size tiers only. Local move, long-distance move, crew labor, packing, storage and insurance are priced as their own line items in our office move cost guide, which also carries the publisher's own caveat that actual costs may vary significantly. If your move includes laboratory, IT/data centre or machinery relocation, those categories are covered process-by-process in their own guides, though no dollar range is published for them on this site yet.
How this estimator is built
The three ranges above are Move Solutions' published figures, unchanged, mapped one for one to the size tier you pick. The four checklist items are the same cost drivers our office move cost guide identifies as more predictive than square footage. Ticking them does not change the number shown; nothing here is averaged, weighted or interpolated, because no source we have found publishes rates broken out by those factors. Use the ticked items as the specific questions to put to a mover, the same way our guide recommends insisting on a site walk before a price is fixed.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator give me an exact price?
No. It shows the published range for your office's size tier, sourced from Move Solutions, and flags which of the real cost drivers apply to your move so you can raise them with a mover. It does not compute a single number, because no published source breaks these ranges down finely enough to do that honestly.
Why doesn't the estimator ask for my exact square footage?
Because square footage is not what drives the price. Our office move cost guide's position is that equipment density, access, timing and disconnect/reconnect scope move the number more than size does, so this tool is built around a size tier plus those four factors, not a per-square-foot formula.
Why do the published ranges vary so much?
The source itself frames these as general ranges, not a rate card, and recommends a 5 to 15 percent contingency on top. Nothing requires a commercial mover to conduct a physical survey before quoting, because the household goods survey rules do not apply here, which is part of why the factors above matter more than a formula would.
What if my move includes laboratory, IT or machinery relocation?
Tick equipment beyond standard furniture above; then see our laboratory relocation, IT and data centre relocation, or machinery and industrial moving guides for what those moves specifically involve. This site does not publish a separate dollar range for those categories yet.
