Why Sector V Office Moves Are Different
Salt Lake Sector V presents unique challenges that make commercial relocation more complex than a regular household move:

Our Office Relocation Process
Step 1 — Pre-move survey and inventory
Our team visits your office, photographs and catalogues every item, identifies IT equipment requiring special handling and maps the new floor plan.
Step 2 — Labelling and colour-coding
Every item gets a unique label with its destination room and workstation. Servers, network cabinets and UPS are individually tagged and photographed.
Step 3 — Weekend packing (Friday night)
Our crew arrives after office hours, packs all non-essential items first, then systematically packs IT equipment using antistatic bubble wrap, foam inserts and custom cartons.
Step 4 — Transport (Saturday)
GPS-tracked covered trucks with hydraulic tail-lifts for heavy server racks. No items stacked unsafely. Cargo manifest signed at origin.
Step 5 — Setup and reinstall (Saturday/Sunday)
Items delivered and arranged per your floor plan. Basic furniture assembly included. IT team can reconnect equipment in a ready-positioned workspace.
Step 6 — Monday: business as usual

Minimising Business Downtime
Book a weekend move — Friday evening to Sunday is the gold standard. Your Monday morning setup is ready before staff arrive.
Plan in phases — for large offices, we move department by department over consecutive weekends, keeping most of the business operational throughout.
Pre-arrange IT team — have your in-house IT or network team available on Saturday afternoon to test connectivity at the new location before Monday.
Notify building management at both locations — cargo lift booking, parking permits for our trucks and security clearance should be arranged a week in advance.

FAQs
How much does office relocation in Salt Lake Sector V cost?
Small offices (up to 15 workstations) typically cost ₹18,000–₹35,000. Medium offices (15–40 seats) range from ₹35,000–₹75,000. The final quote depends on IT equipment density, floor access, truck count and whether you need weekend/night slots.
Can you move our office over a weekend to avoid downtime?
Yes — weekend moves are our most popular option for IT companies in Sector V. We typically pack on Friday night and complete transport and basic setup by Sunday, so your team walks into a ready workspace on Monday.
How do you handle server racks and IT equipment?
All server racks are individually labelled, wrapped in antistatic bubble wrap and transported upright. Monitors and laptops are packed in foam-lined cartons. We photograph every rack before disassembly and after reassembly. Custom wooden crating is available for high-value equipment.
Do you provide an asset inventory and labelling?
Yes. We provide a full asset manifest — every item catalogued, photographed and signed off at both origin and destination. This is standard for all our commercial relocations and essential for insurance claims if needed.
Are commercial moves insured?
Yes. Commercial transit insurance is available and we strongly recommend it for all office moves involving IT equipment. Coverage is approximately 3% of the declared goods value and covers loss, damage and fire during transit.
