Office Moving Requires a Strategic Approach
Relocating an office in Illinois isn’t just about transporting desks and computers — it’s about maintaining business continuity, protecting sensitive equipment, and minimizing downtime. At ACM Movers, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses in Oak Park, Glenview, Elmhurst, Skokie, and surrounding areas move efficiently with zero disruption.
Whether you’re moving a small co-working space or a large corporate office, this guide will walk you through every step to ensure a stress-free commercial relocation in 2026.
Step 1: Start Planning 4–6 Weeks in Advance
Time is money. The earlier you start planning your office move, the more options you have.
- Assign an internal move coordinator
- Set a moving date (consider weekend office move options to avoid disruption)
- Inform employees and partners early
- Contact utility and internet providers for setup at the new location
Step 2: Create a Detailed Floor Plan
Once you know the layout of the new office, start planning:
- Where will each department go?
- What furniture will move vs. what needs replacement?
- How will you label items for easy setup?
Having a digital layout helps our business movers optimize loading and unloading.
Step 3: Inventory and Declutter
Donate or recycle electronics
- Office relocations are a great opportunity to:
- This reduces moving costs and streamlines packing.
- Shred outdated documents securely
Get rid of broken furniture or unused equipment
Step 4: Pack Smart — Or Let Us Do It
Our packing services for offices include:
- IT equipment wrapping and crating
- Specialized box labels (department, floor, etc.)
- Secure packing for sensitive documents
- Bubble wrap, stretch film, crates, moving blankets
You can also choose full-service packing, where our team handles it all.
Step 5: Move During Off-Hours
We recommend scheduling your relocation for:
- Friday evenings
- Saturday & Sunday (weekend movers Illinois)
- After business hours
This reduces employee downtime and gives your team a fresh start on Monday.
Step 6: Set Up and Test Before the Team Arrives
With help from our crew:
- Furniture is reassembled per layout
