What to look out for when choosing an office or business mover.

4 things to look out for when choosing your business or office moving company.

The average business or organisation relocates premises every 4-6 years.

It’s easy to see how challenging it can be to choose a reliable office moving company given the infrequency of this purchase decision.

We’ve tried to simplify it for you by coming up with an easy to follow checklist of 4 things to consider before choosing your next office removalist.

  1. Are they a  specialists office moving company or a general removals company? Specialist removalists like BRL have carried out thousands of moves in different industries which gives them the breadth of experience to handle all sorts of moves confidently.
  2. How long have they been operating for? In this day and age, there are literally NO barriers to entry in the removals industry. This makes it hard to pick out a credible and reliable business relocation specialist. It takes years to build a reputation and credibility and BRL have been doing it for over 15 years throughout NZ. We are highly respected in the industry as the specialists when it comes to office or business moving.
  3. Are the men trained and fully equipped? At BRL, our average mover has carried out thousands or hours of removals over the career and come fully equipped with trolleys, power tools, safety equipment and first aid kits to every job site. Preparation is key and no one does it better than BRL.
  4. Are they insured or do they offer insurance? BRL has been working with New Zealand’s best insurance brokers to ensure clients are always covered during their asset moves. Often, your commercial insurance provider will have an automatic extension for goods in transit during office or business relocations – good idea to start by checking with them first before doubling up on your insurance costs. Otherwise, we’re happy to provide insurance quotes for absolute peace of mind.

We had a fantastic experience with our office relocations in Wellington. Bjorn and his team in Wellington managed the move so seamlessly that it was a very good overall experience. We definitely recommend using BRL to anyone else needing an office relocation. We are especially grateful to Bjorn, Fraser and the BRL team for their exceptional service.

The team were very professional and communited well for our office move. The team were fast on move day and looked after our office equipment with no damage. Very profeessional and would highly recommend.
Business Relocations performed what we considered a challenging move for our company when we relocated to new premises, involving both office and warehouse items from a two-level building to another two-level building. Unfortunately, our scheduled moving day brought torrential rain, but the BR team, under Karl’s calm and professional leadership, worked their magic despite the weather. They arrived early and put in the hard work until our move was complete. We all appreciated the huge effort from the team on the day and the preparation beforehand.

We recently used Business Relocations Ltd to move our business across the city and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The process ran very smoothly, starting with the salesperson, who was friendly, helpful, and completely reliable. She did everything she said she would do, exactly when she said she would do it, which made the planning process stress-free. On moving day, the team arrived right on time and were professional, friendly, and extremely efficient. They worked hard throughout the move and were very accommodating with every request we had. Despite moving a full business, the entire relocation was completed in around four hours, which exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Business Relocations Ltd to anyone needing a professional, well-organised, and dependable moving company.

Business Relocations Auckland were great to deal with for our office relocation in Takapuna. They packed us up and stored our gear until we needed it again 3 months later. Reinstalled everything quickly and efficiently. Good sized team who were professional and accommodating. Thank you Fraser and team!

Awesome, professional company to deal with! I have used their services many times. Happy each time! I had a corporate client moving into a new building where the previous tenant had left all their old office furniture. We had to relocate everything into temp storage, then return some items while delivering the remaining to other buildings and then the remainder to a auction house. Not a problem for these guys, everything got where it should! Client was super happy! I would trust this company to move my own furniture!

I have been calling on Business Relocations since 2020. A monumental move from a Wellington office to Auckland was our first engagement, and regularly in the years that followed. In 2023 I moved to a new role with another company and I'm still using their services. They have been a pleasure to do business with. They make everything look easy; the entire team have been delightful to deal with, making my job so much easier. The assurance that your items will be cared for in the move, the professionalism and just good people make it a no brainer to call them when it comes to relocating or just clearing office spaces out. I can't say enough good things about the services provided by Business Relocation. Thank you for doing excellent work team.
