Thinking of relocating your business?
Here's what affects your moving costs in Illinois
1. Average Cost to Move an Office in Illinois
For most businesses, the average cost of an office move in Illinois ranges between $1,500 and $6,000, depending on the size of the office, services needed, and location. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Office Size | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
Small (5–10 employees) | $1,500 – $2,800 |
Medium (10–25) | $2,800 – $4,500 |
Large (25+ employees) | $4,500 – $6,000+ |

2. What Factors Affect Office Moving Costs?
Several key elements impact your final invoice:
a. Size of the Office & Number of Workstations
The more desks, computers, and furniture — the more manpower and time required.
b. Distance Between Locations
If you’re moving within the same neighborhood (e.g., Oak Park to River Forest), rates are lower than a cross-county move (e.g., Arlington Heights to Joliet).
c. Elevator Access & Floor Level
Stairs, tight hallways, or lack of an elevator increase labor time and complexity.
d. Packing Services
Will you pack your tech and office supplies yourself, or should our movers handle it all? Full packing services add to the cost, but save you time and stress.
e. Storage Needs
Do you need short-term or long-term storage for furniture or archived documents? That’s a separate cost, but we offer climate-controlled, secure storage right here in Arlington Heights.
