Professional Office Movers for St. Louis Businesses

What does an office moving company do? It coordinates the relocation of everything that keeps a workplace running, and it does so in a way that protects your ability to keep operating. Office relocation involves far more than loading furniture into a truck. McGuire can help coordinate office furniture, workstations and cubicles, computers and electronics, files and records, conference room equipment, breakroom items, supplies, and specialty items.

The objective is to move these assets safely while helping your business maintain continuity. That takes coordination among your team, your building management, and our crews, which is why every McGuire office move starts with a survey and a plan. As an office moving company St. Louis businesses have trusted since 1935, McGuire’s commercial office movers work alongside our broader commercial moving services for facilities beyond the traditional office.

Complete Office Moving Services

McGuire’s office moving services St. Louis businesses rely on cover the full relocation, from the first desk to the last file box. Each service below can be combined to fit your project.

Office Furniture Moving

McGuire’s crews move desks, chairs, workstations, cubicles, conference tables, filing cabinets, shelving, and reception furniture, using padding and the right equipment for each load. Every piece is coded before it leaves, so it arrives where your floor plan says it belongs instead of waiting in a hallway for instructions.

Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly

Cubicles, modular workstations, and large conference tables usually need to come apart before they can travel safely. Our crews can dismantle furniture at your current office and reassemble it at the new one, where applicable, working from your placement plan so workstations are ready when employees arrive.

Office Equipment Moving

Computers, monitors, printers, copiers, and other sensitive business assets receive careful handling, with custom crating or special containers for delicate items. McGuire works with your IT staff on timing and handling. We recommend a full data backup before moving day, and network reconnection is best planned with your IT provider.

Office Packing & Unpacking

Choose full-service packing, or pack desk contents yourself and let our packers handle partial packing of fragile items, equipment, files, and supplies. Everything is labeled for its destination, and we can unpack at the new office.

Office Storage

Storage bridges the gap when lease dates don’t align, the new office isn’t ready, the company is downsizing, renovations are underway, or a phased relocation is required. McGuire can hold furniture and equipment until you need it with short and long-term storage and warehousing solutions.

Records Storage

Paper records rarely need to occupy prime office space. McGuire’s records and data storage keeps files in a secure, climate-controlled facility with on-demand retrieval, and outdated documents can be handled through our shredding services.

The McGuire Office Moving Process

A well-run office move is decided long before moving day. McGuire turns surveys, inventories, coding, and scheduling into a clear process you can follow from first call to final walkthrough.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with what the move needs to accomplish: your current and new locations, timeline, number of employees, furniture and equipment, access requirements, and any special handling needs. Clear goals up front keep every later decision aligned.

2. On-Site Survey & Inventory

A McGuire moving agent surveys your facility and prepares a comprehensive inventory of the furniture and equipment to be moved, noting quantities, building access, services required, and transportation needs. That inventory becomes the foundation for your moving plan and your estimate.

3. Office Move Planning

Next we build the move sequence and timeline, assign responsibilities, and coordinate by department and with building management. We also help shape employee communication and set up the color-coded, numbered labeling system that guides furniture placement.

4. Packing & Preparation

Before moving day, packing begins according to the plan. Your team packs personal and desk items, or McGuire’s packers handle as much as you choose, while furniture, files, and equipment are prepared and labeled.

5. Moving Day

McGuire’s crews arrive on schedule and execute the predetermined plan, loading in sequence, tracking inventory, and staying in contact with your project lead throughout. Each crew works from the inventory and coding created during your survey, so decisions are made in advance rather than on the loading dock.

6. Delivery, Placement & Installation

At the new office, crews place furniture and equipment according to your floor plan, reassemble workstations, and complete other applicable setup so departments can resume work in an orderly way.

7. Post-Move Support

After the move, we complete final checks and resolve any outstanding issues, because the job isn’t finished until you’re satisfied.

Minimize Downtime During Your Office Move

How can I minimize downtime during an office move? Plan around your busiest and slowest periods, schedule the heavy lifting outside business hours when possible, map every workstation before moving day, coordinate building access early, and keep employees informed. A detailed schedule and a dedicated project manager tie those pieces together. Here is how each one works.

Move During Evenings or Weekends

McGuire often schedules moves during off-hours, weekends, or holidays, so your team can work in the old office one day and start fresh in the new one the next.

Use a Phased Move

Larger offices can sometimes relocate department by department. A phased approach keeps part of the business operating while other groups move, though it requires careful sequencing and early planning.

Plan Furniture & Workspace Placement in Advance

A floor plan paired with McGuire’s coding system tells crews exactly where every desk, cabinet, and cubicle belongs. Less guesswork on moving day means fewer delays and less rearranging afterward.

Coordinate With Building Management

Confirm elevator reservations, loading dock access, parking, building hours, and move-in requirements well before moving day. Building rules can quietly derail an otherwise solid schedule.

Communicate With Employees

Tell employees the move date, what to pack and what to leave, how to label their items, and where they will sit. A short reminder the week before prevents most surprises.

Office Moving Services for Businesses of Every Size

McGuire isn’t just for corporate headquarters. Any business relocation St. Louis companies undertake, large or small, benefits from the same planning process.

Small Office Moves

Startups, professional offices, and small teams often need a faster, simpler move. McGuire can right-size the crew, packing, and schedule so a small relocation stays efficient and affordable.

Large Office Relocations

Multiple departments, large inventories, several floors, and larger employee populations call for detailed scheduling and clear sequencing. Our survey, inventory, and dedicated coordination keep big moves organized.

Office Expansion & Consolidation

Moving into a larger space, combining offices, downsizing, or consolidating departments all raise the same question: what comes along? McGuire helps sort what moves, what goes into storage, and what is disposed of.

Multi-Location Office Moves

When a relocation involves more than one facility, McGuire can coordinate schedules, crews, and destinations so each piece of the move lands in the right place at the right time. Interstate moves are supported through our long-distance moving services.

Specialized Office Moving Services

Beyond the basics, McGuire offers commercial services built for complex moves, backed by certified property insurance.

On-Site Project Management

A dedicated project manager serves as your single point of contact, coordinating crews, schedules, and building requirements so you aren’t managing a move on top of running your business.

Furniture Installation & Dismantling

McGuire dismantles and installs office furniture, including cubicle systems, workstations, and conference tables, and can help reconfigure layouts at the new site.

Rigging & Special Equipment

Some items are too heavy, oversized, or delicate for standard handling. Rigging and special equipment services bring the right tools and techniques to move them safely.

Transfer Services

Transfer services cover moving items between locations, such as from your old office to a new one or to and from storage, on a schedule that fits your project.

Excess Furniture & Inventory Storage

If the new space is smaller, excess furniture and inventory can go into offsite storage, and disposal is available for items you no longer need.

Records Storage

Physical files can be packed in labeled containers, moved securely, and kept in records storage for retrieval on demand, so your new office can be designed around the space you actually have.

Office Moving & Storage

Temporary Storage During an Office Relocation

Construction delays, lease overlaps, renovations, phased moves, downsizing, and delayed occupancy are common reasons for short-term storage. McGuire’s short-term storage keeps your furniture and equipment safe until the new space is ready.

Long-Term Business Storage

Excess furniture, inventory, equipment, records, and seasonal assets can be held in long-term storage, freeing up expensive office square footage.

Coordinating Moving and Storage With One Provider

When one company handles transportation and storage, you get one schedule, one point of contact, and no gaps between the truck and the warehouse.

How Much Does an Office Move Cost in St. Louis?

Office moving costs vary based on the size, complexity, and services involved, so there is no honest flat rate. McGuire provides a customized estimate after learning about your office. The main factors are the number of employees and workstations, the volume of furniture and equipment, moving distance, building access (including floors, elevators, and stairs), packing services, furniture disassembly and reassembly, specialty equipment, storage, the moving date, and after-hours or weekend scheduling.

Our on-site survey and inventory turn those variables into a clear estimate, which makes surprises far less likely.

How Far in Advance Should You Plan an Office Move?

An office relocation St. Louis businesses plan well ahead tends to go more smoothly, and it needs more lead time than most residential moves. Site surveys, inventories, building coordination, IT planning, packing, furniture preparation, employee communication, and scheduling all take time. Many businesses begin planning two to three months ahead, and contacting McGuire at least four to six weeks before your target date helps secure the schedule you want.

Treat that as general guidance, not a rule. A five-person office may need less, while a multi-floor relocation may need considerably more. The earlier we survey your space, the more options you have for after-hours scheduling and phased moves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Office Moving

What does an office moving company do?

An office moving company plans and carries out the relocation of a business’s furniture, equipment, files, and supplies. Beyond transportation, McGuire surveys your space, creates an inventory, codes furniture for placement, packs and unpacks, dismantles and reassembles workstations, and offers storage. The goal is to move everything safely while limiting disruption to your operations.

How much does an office move cost?

Costs depend on the size and complexity of the move, including employee count, furniture and equipment volume, distance, building access, packing, disassembly, specialty equipment, storage, and scheduling. McGuire provides a customized estimate after an on-site survey and inventory instead of guessing at a range. Use our free quote form to get started.

How long does an office move take?

A small office can often be moved in a single day, while larger relocations may take several days or longer, especially when they are phased by department. The timeline depends on inventory size, building access, packing needs, and how much setup is required. McGuire provides a detailed timeline during your initial consultation.

How far in advance should I schedule an office move?

Most businesses should begin planning two to three months before the move and contact McGuire at least four to six weeks ahead. Larger or more complex relocations benefit from extra lead time for surveys, building coordination, and scheduling. Smaller moves can sometimes be arranged faster, so call us to discuss your date.

Can office movers pack our computers and equipment?

Yes. McGuire’s team packs computers, monitors, printers, and other office equipment using protective materials, and custom crating or special containers are available for delicate items. Packing can be full-service or partial, depending on how much your team wants to handle. We recommend backing up all data before moving day and coordinating with your IT staff on shutdown and reconnection.

Can McGuire disassemble and reassemble office furniture?

Yes. Our crews can dismantle desks, cubicles, workstations, and conference tables before the move, then reassemble and install them at your new office according to your floor plan. Furniture is coded so each piece is placed where it belongs, which saves your staff from rearranging their own workspaces on the first day.

Can McGuire move an office after hours or on weekends?

Yes. McGuire often schedules office moves during evenings, weekends, or holidays to reduce disruption to your business, which suits companies that can’t afford lost workdays. Availability depends on your building’s rules and our crew schedule, so it’s best to raise off-hours scheduling during your initial consultation and confirm access with building management well in advance.

Can we store office furniture during our relocation?

Yes. If your new office isn’t ready, your lease dates don’t overlap, or you are downsizing, McGuire can store furniture and equipment in our facility for a short or long period. Excess items can stay in storage until they are needed, or disposal can be arranged.

Can McGuire move records and files?

Yes. Files are moved in sealed containers with a strict chain of custody, and McGuire also offers records and data storage with climate-controlled space and on-demand retrieval. If you have outdated documents, our shredding services provide secure disposal, which can reduce how much you need to move. Records can also remain in storage after the move so they stay out of your way.

Does McGuire handle long-distance office moves?

Yes. McGuire handles local and long-distance office relocations, and as a Bekins Van Lines Interstate Agent, we can support moves across state lines with a national network behind us. You’ll start with the same survey, inventory, and planning process, then tell us your destination. Whether your new office is across the river or across the country, the process stays organized.
