How Much Do Commercial Movers In Iowa Cost?

The average cost for commercial movers in Iowa averages a range from $1,037 to $10,792.

There’s no real secret to how cheap commercial moving costs are calculated. You have to pay for the movers, renting the truck, and the distance it will travel. Some moves will cost more than others simply because one is local and the other is long distance move.

Other moves cost more because of the peak season. Moving closer to the end of the year will save you money because demand is low. Time of month also plays a considerable role in how much your commercial move will cost. Demand spikes on weekends, especially those that fall at the end of the month.

Moves of the same distance can have different price tags because of how many things the movers have to load/unload and transport. Fewer items will fetch a lower price, while a high volume move will cost more.

Similarly, moves of the same distance will vary in price due to the services requested. One client may request the standard service, while another may request additional services like packing/unpacking and storage use. The more services you attach to your move, the greater the price tag.

How Far Ahead Should I Plan For A Commercial Move?

Unlike residential moves, you’ll want to start planning your commercial moves as soon as possible. Instead of weeks, you should be looking at months ahead. Most businesses know far ahead of time when they have to move, for instance, when a lease will be up, or when their new commercial space becomes available.

Reach out to your commercial moving company at least 6 months in advance. This will give you enough time to work out a decommission plan, form an in-office moving committee with your employees, figure out your budget, and create a moving plan with your moving specialist. This is also an important time for creating your own inventory and designating old equipment and furniture for disposal.

As the months begin to pass, you should have confirmed the moving date with the local moving company and your employees, notified your clients and customers, and gotten the necessary personnel for disconnecting and setting up your utilities and specialized equipment.

Before you get around the 2-month mark, you should already have designated storage space, started packing up non-essential items, and re-confirming your moving plan with your moving company. As the weeks become days, you should begin collecting all keys and access cards to the old building to return to your old landlord. You should also have keys and access cards ready for your employees for the new commercial space.

While you aren’t required to be there on moving day, it would benefit everyone involved. This does not mean you should be over their shoulders the whole time. Take the time to ensure things are going according to your plan and prepare to do a final walkthrough of the space.

Last-minute moves

There are often situations where a business has to contact a moving company at the last minute to carry out a commercial move. Last-minute in this sense does not mean the day of or even a week before. Commercial moves take months to plan and having a company cancel on you a month before can qualify as a last-minute move. If you end up in a similar situation, the sooner you contact our moving company the better your chances of being accommodated.

Best Time For A Commercial Move

As a general rule, the best time for a commercial move is whichever date will have the least impact on your business.

With that being said, there are some ways you can guarantee lowers rates and a quicker move. Most customers, whether commercial or residential, move on weekends and close towards the end of the month. Combine this with peak-season demand, and you’re looking at the highest moving prices for the year.

If possible, aim for a weekday, or some time during the off-season. You’re more likely to get the date you want this way, and you’ll pay less for it!
