“How much will it cost to move our office?” is the first question every business owner asks, and the honest answer is: it depends on how much you are moving, the access at both ends, and when you move. This guide shows exactly how local office moves are priced in Wollongong, with worked examples from our published rates, so you can budget before you call.
How local office moves are priced
Local office moves are charged by the hour, for the truck and crew, Monday to Friday:
| Truck | Crew | Suits | Rate (Mon to Fri) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.5 tonne | 2 movers | Units and 1 to 2 bedrooms | $171 per hour + GST |
| 8 tonne | 3 movers | 2 to 3 bedroom homes | $228 per hour + GST ($188 + $40 extra hand) |
| 14 tonne | 3 movers | 3 to 4+ bedroom homes | $239 per hour + GST ($199 + $40 extra hand) |
Local jobs have a 2 hour minimum, and 30 minutes travel time is added at the end of every local job within 25 km of Wollongong. Office moves from Wollongong to Sydney use the same hourly rates plus 1.5 hours travel time. Interstate office relocations are a fixed price based on volume.
The clock covers the work on the day: wrapping, dismantling workstations, loading, driving, unloading, reassembling and placing furniture to your floor plan.
Which truck does my office need?
As a rough guide (we confirm after a walkthrough or photos):
- 1 to 5 workstations: a 4.5 tonne truck with 2 movers.
- 6 to 15 workstations: an 8 tonne truck with 3 movers.
- 16 or more workstations: a 14 tonne truck with 3 movers, or more than one load.
Compactus units, server racks, safes, large boardroom tables and storage cages can change the answer, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Worked examples
These examples use our published rates and include 30 minutes travel time. They are examples to help you budget, not quotes. Your actual time depends on your office and access.
| Office | Truck and crew | Time on the job | Example cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-desk office, ground floor | 4.5 tonne, 2 movers | 3 hours | about $599 + GST |
| 10-workstation office | 8 tonne, 3 movers | 5 hours | about $1,254 + GST |
| 25-workstation office | 14 tonne, 3 movers | 8 hours | about $2,032 + GST |
What makes an office move cost more
- Stairs and no lift, or a lift that is shared and slow.
- Loading docks that must be booked, or parking far from the door.
- Dismantling large workstations, partitions and boardroom tables.
- Heavy items such as safes, compactus units and server racks.
- Unpacked offices: if staff have not packed, the crew packs on the clock.
- Distance between the old and new office.
After-hours and weekend moves
Most businesses would rather not close during trading hours. We plan office moves around your hours, including after hours and on weekends, so you can shut on Friday and open on Monday at the new address. Our published rates are for Monday to Friday, so ask us for after-hours and weekend pricing when you book.
Moving the IT
Our IT equipment moving service packs and moves computers, screens, printers and servers. Ask your IT provider to handle disconnecting and reconnecting the network so your systems are back up on the first morning. Book the internet connection at your new office early: it is the item most likely to hold up the move.
Nine ways to cut the cost of your office move
- Declutter first. Sell, donate or recycle old furniture and files instead of paying to move them.
- Have staff pack their own desks into labelled boxes before the crew arrives.
- Colour-code and number every box and desk to match the new floor plan.
- Book lifts and loading docks at both buildings in advance.
- Keep the path clear from the office to the truck.
- Dismantle simple flat-pack furniture yourself if you have the tools and the time.
- Move mid-week or mid-month when dates are easier to book.
- Use storage for furniture that does not fit the new office yet.
- Send us photos or book a walkthrough so the right truck and crew turn up the first time.
Commercial removals: shops, clinics and showrooms
We also move shops, medical and dental clinics, gyms, showrooms and warehouses. Commercial moves are priced the same way, with extra planning for stock, display units, fragile equipment and trading hours. See our office relocations and commercial removals page.
Moving offices across the Illawarra
We move businesses across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto and the Southern Highlands, and to Sydney and interstate. For a step-by-step plan, read our office relocation checklist. For a firm price, get a quote and choose Office or Commercial: it takes about a minute.
