Build your relocation budget from the work and constraints at both sites. A generic per-person or per-square-foot figure cannot establish the price of your particular move.
Start with the inventory
Record furniture quantities, systems needing disassembly, boxed contents, equipment dimensions and destinations. Identify fragile or specialist items separately. The same floor area can contain very different amounts of work, so give each bidder the same inventory and assumptions.
List access and schedule constraints
Include loading routes, elevator availability, floors, parking, security requirements and permitted work hours. Separate reservation fees charged by a building from moving services. Ask what happens if access or the inventory changes. Availability and project duration are confirmed for the specific job.
Budget for other responsible vendors
Keep IT, cabling, specialist equipment providers, furniture purchases, repairs and any building charges visible in the budget. Have your IT owner build the continuity plan; the NIST contingency planning guide is a reference for recovery planning, rather than a moving-price schedule.
Compare written scopes
Compare included labor, vehicles, packing, disassembly, setup, removal and handoff requirements. Review exclusions, access assumptions and change approval. Ask your broker about insurance appropriate to the property and work; the California commercial insurance guide explains common coverage considerations.
Confirm the BMG price after the walkthrough
BMG prices your move from photos, your inventory list and the addresses, and confirms the price with you in writing, after a free walkthrough when the move has more than 10 offices or workstations. Keep the approved quote and changes in the project file so your budget reflects the actual agreement.
